This is the session we lose the match. These tactics are dull as anything.

Pitch looks very flat now, pray for a ball change. These two are going to bat all day.

Surprised india didn't try the short ball tactics, I guarantee England will after about 15 overs.

Seriously unlucky for Duckett and an absolute seed for Crawley. Ball doing all sorts now.

A bit defeatist for me, add the previous two games to that and England have won 3 out of the last 7. It's pretty even i think - Atkinson coming back is massive.....everyone's talking about Bumrah's strike rate but Gus has a better one....😬 (35 vs 42). Should be an intriguing rest of the series. Doesn't look like we're going to change Bashir but on every metric hes dreadful which is a shame.

She doesn't work for king power and hasn't for several years now.

Edgbaston is worse....2 wins out the last 6.

Yep its right up there because the rules couldn't be clearer and its not hard to work out whether it was within them.

FWIW it is am absolutely howler because its so clear cut. It's literally a timer and when it was on zero the opportunity has gone, compared that with even when Broad nicked it to first slip after it deflected off Haddin? There's nuance there and there's zero mitigation IMO on this one. It's the sporting equivalent of a rugby game where the timer goes to 80 minutes, a player kicks it off and the ref gives a line out. Added to that, the constant drinks breaks and the icc direction on over rates i thought they were pretty poor tbh. I'll forgive you though, I make that about 2 wins in about ten test matches for India so you must be incredibly excited.....😅

Well you're posting on here every minute of everyday so I think its a fair guess 🤣

Watched and played more than you'd i guess.

Umpires have been shite in this match. Letting Jaiswal review it after the timer had gone is probably the worst decision ove ever seen.

Vaughan is such a ****.

Atkinson for Woakes Archer for Carse Cook for Tongue And I'd genuinely play bethell instead of Bashir too, he's garbage.

They won't have started yet that I can assure you....

A major production company approached them about it two years ago, the club never followed up.

Deserves it for how he's treated staff at the club tbh.

Think I'd bat him at 6 as he's a proper bat and would give him more time. Stokes at 7 now feels about right.

Amazes me that in ten years they've barely improved the stadium - considering this lot are meant to be retail experts its bizarre or just demonstrates they're not the experts everyone thinks they are.

Do not fancy stokes against Jadeja on a day 5 pitch.

Agree the analysis is so much better, but only on Sky tbh - Vaughan is horrendous, ridiculous knee jerks takes to try and grab headlines...said some stupid stuff about players - called Pope insecure and stuff like that. Can't stand him and Agnew is dull as dishwater, shame as TMS used to be so good. I can't listen to it now. Atherton, Mel Jones, Hussain, Broad and DK are all superb. Only other gripe would be to turn Shastri's microphone down - him shouting at the toss was so loud!

It does but not by as much as people expect - the biggest impact is that the clubs ability to lose £35m in the prem or £13m in the chap - may also affect cash flow too but we use MacQuarie for the bulk of the loans. TBH - you're talking about a 900m dollar company and a football club which makes anywhere between £100m and £170m, it's peanut in comparison.

Steady....still 254 to get which would be a tough chase on it's own

So many weird people about

I'm not. He'll want to avoid as much of pre season as he can.
