Our Wiaan Mulder just brought up 300 off of 297 balls. There’s still 79 overs left on day two, he would be crazy not to go for the 400.

I know he’s 20 but I think Rehan would be a much better choice, he’s a technician of the game, mature and has the respect on the team. Cox would also do a good job.

Dyche was at oasis with Steve cooper the other night

Me being given out caught behind away at Shepshed Messengers a few years back was way worse.

Cannot deal with Stokes saying the pitch suited India when they’ve been blagging about how they’ve asked for flat decks. Great player, great captain but there’s always an excuse when it doesn’t go to plan.

Only bowling two is even worse

FFS cox drops the run out which would’ve got the tie

Rehan has been setting the field pretty much the past two overs

This has got rather dramatic

Van Beek 7 off 2 overs, Scriven 8 off 2 overs. 4 overs left. Kimber: nah let’s bring on Hull who has gone for 26 off of 2 overs.

Thrown it

They’ve got their consolation win early, fair play India.

Gill will get Motm but I think Akash Deep deserves it considering the conditions.

Honestly why not at this point?

Hope Stroll wins just for the laughs

Don’t worry, there’ll be a safety car before that happens

What a crap sport, safety car every time there’s a bit of drizzle. The woke have taken over and won.

That’s another unreal call from the umpire. Stokes genuinely didn’t have a clue it’d hit his pad.

We can still save this!

Brook is world class but can look absolutely hopeless when the ball is doing something.

Seems like it’s already been decided that Archer will come in for Carse. England want flat decks because Bumrah would destroy us on one that is nipping around.

It’s a touch of arrogance/confidence. I don’t think we expected our bowling to be as poor as it’s been. Let’s be honest apart from one good spell from Tongue at Headingley, it’s been absolutely woeful. Most of our batters are flat track bullies as well (and bloody good ones at that), you only had to see what happened in the Pakistan series, what happens to these players when the conditions don’t suit them.

Yes smarty, the second in that case

First of the ‘Pearson generation’ to go into management apart from Wellens (who himself is impressive)?

That’s a ridiculous ball. Why did Deep not play the first test?
