Mad we winning 2-1 we could easily be 0-3 down

Imagine if that had been australia v india and the aussies had narrowly won, the commentators going on ad nauseum about how lucky the other team had been? No me neither

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Surprised? I'd be staggered. Pleasantly so, mind. I hope you're right, I really do.

There you go…

Haven't heard much from the advocates of four-day Test Matches recently...

What a game. Stokes was just phenomenal.

Roll on, the real Old Trafford...

Thing is if it ever became 4 day test matches teams will declare earlier and the pitches will probably change if not they’d be loads of draws

No we couldn’t we’ve played well and are deservedly 2 1 up

Nice to see that both England fans stayed

Aggers has to go. Makes Eni Aluko look like a good pundits. I’m glad Joffrey slapped his arse!

What did Aggers do or say Tim?

He bet that archer would never play red ball cricket for England again. Aggers bet Ben Stokes’ his hat. Joffrey wore Stokes ‘ hat for the post match interview with Aggers lol!

I predict Aggers will be on spice in Piccadilly Garden next week!

Nasser Hussein your boys took one hell of a (marginal) beating

 

[Tim of the Oak]

Mad we winning 2-1 we could easily be 0-3 down

Or 3 nil up

2 umpire calls not given in the first session was effectively the difference between the sides.

This England side under Stokes always fights to the end.

This test match lark; it’s a bit boring, you know.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

I've taken to Broad's commentary - particularly post match.

Very easy to listen to.

Less Indian biased than Husssin, Ward etc. Hussein still excusing the reprehensible behaviour of Siraj and saying he shouldn’t have been fined

To be fair to Aggers it didn't look like he going to play test cricket again.

After the first test I posted that this England side had some balls. Well, they’ve proved it again. They take inspiration from Captain Fantastic, Ben Stokes. A fabulous test match.
