Being on this side of the pond, that’s the first and only footage I’ve seen so far. It’s crazy how much it seemed to spin back, must’ve hit some rough and right on the seam at the right angle too. Hard to tell, but it looks like he sort of back-heeled it into the stumps too. The ball took an age to get there. I’m sure there’s clearer and side-on angles that show it better, that I’ve not seen.
 
What was brilliant today from England was how few 4’s/6’s were scored off the bat today - in a tight match that was hugely important.

Also in both innings every one of our top 5 bowlers took at least one wicket
 
It was an amazing test match, and it had everything, Stokes looked gone after that, even walking back up the stairs he looked done in. It got a bit squeaky bum time and you had the feeling one bad over and India would win

India should have gambled and swung the bat more, When you're 8 down It would have been better to have a go than just nicking singles and protecting the non-batsman, 192 didn't look enough, but the pressure of England having a sort of score on the board on a dodgy wicket helped, Archer Carse Stokes bowled well and when Woakes took the 7th wicket with a beauty, its was just a matter of time.

Crazy how it ended and India didn't deserve that, but its a England win and 2.1 up with Manchester next up ?
I've got a feeling rain will play a major part and England will be happy to be sitting in the dressing room for a couple of days

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!

Don’t be daft. Aggers is the voice of TMS. And rightly so. He does his job brilliantly. Archer needs to stop being so precious. Thought Aggers conducted the interview brilliantly and professionally with added humour. Archer came across as a bit of a dick during it

Maybe so but it doesn’t look good mocking one of our test cricketers. In fairness to Aggers, he knows he’s made a **** of himself and the world moves on.

I doubt he would have done likewise against an Indian Test bowler

He wasn’t mocking him - he was giving an opinion. And seeing as it took 4 years for Archer to play again it’s wasn’t that bad a statement. Archer has played 14 test matches and is 30! Sorry I’m not meaning to jump down your throat - and I’m not related to Agnew - but I’m staggered anyone is taking this stance on it. Each to their own opinion, I just don’t agree though ;)
