Woakes deserves a knighthood for this.

9 runs scored, 164 runs given, 2 wickets Proper horrid performance.

They were 347/6. Bethell and Smith completely shat it.

Big time. India handed us it on a plate and then Brook, Bethell and Smith just handed the initiative back to India with stupid batting.

There it is.

I don't agree with turning down singles. I know Atkinson has a century but these are two bowlers. Neither could claim to be anything near all-rounder status. Take the singles and put the pressure onto India. They're just waiting for unplayable deliveries. Try and get it into single figures as quickly as you can.

Just seen the Smith wicket. What's Dharmasena on about asking if it carried? Was caught about thigh height ffs! His head has gone.

Who is shitting themselves more? The batsmen or the umpires?

Listening to this on TMS is awful.

What a decision for Kumar to make there.... Umpires call by a gnat's cock.

I mean fair play thats the way to start it.

WinViz right now says this; Doesn't feel anything like as clear as that to me!

You need to be a physical beast to make up for a midfield containing James Maddison and Youri Tielemans and he undoubtedly was.

Did he get on the pitch for the 2nd half? I only managed to watch about 25 minutes of the first.

Come out with intent. Put it back on India and suddenly 35 looks like a small number again. If India keep the run rate at 1-2 then we're doomed. We'll just be waiting for a good ball (and the new ball).

100% agree and it should be down to the fans to decide that at quarterly meetings.

Could have been at Real Madrid but is now at Besiktas at 28. That line fits for a lot of that 2019/20 squad.

That's what i'm saying. Umpires couldn't make their mind up. The benefit of doubt has to go with the batting side IMO. If India think they've made a big mistake then they can review.

Indian quicks get a full nights sleep and get to wipe out the tail with the new ball then. Great.

I think it's a bit mad that the umps can review a decision this meticulously without the Indians using a review. Umpires couldn't make a decision so it's not out. Indians think it's out so they have the option to review. This is ridiculous.

Woakes with his whites on. What a bloke.
