You got some great entertainment though regardless of the last few moments in the evening. So I'm not going to excuse anyone Everyone is loving the test match because of what's happening, and what's building up and the bit of fire developing. Whether England have been a bit soft isn't India's problem? So not sure why that gets brought up? As I've said before, I think it's fine for both teams to get a bit riled up and give a bit to each other. What I don't agree with is when fans start to get annoyed because it happens against their own team

Pretty sure there were lots of verbals though. Again, which I don't mind but can't be double standards...

Gonna be extremely difficult tomorrow. As for some of the posters above, can't moan about how things went yesterday and then love the entertainment and 'needle'. Can't have it both ways.

Was never gonna be easy even though the total is below 200.

This is why I'm worried. England bowlers aren't always as bad as made out.

What was that from Reiffel?

If I was Gill I'd ask for the physio after every other ball

Not so sure. Ball is still doing a bit and if we lose Gill tonight or early tomorrow it still makes things interesting.

Brain dead from Jaiswal.

It's at this time I'd stick a bet on England to win

I think Hussain and Atherton are fair and critical of both.

192 the target is then.

Get in. Classic Bumrah.

Didn't think Washington would be wiping out the middle order.

Broad reckons 230. I think 250 will be defendable for England. New ball that Archer and Woakes will do wonders with. Let alone Stokes later in the innings.

Huge, huge wicket.

Wow. That barely ever happens with Root.

I think I get what you're saying but not sure an umpire should be taking that angle...

Amazed that's umpires call.

Ouch. That sound reminds me of what happened to Livingstone in Big Bash. Got hit about 3 times in an over I think. Hussain 'no balls left in the over'

How many seconds does the boo hold on for before the 9? Hopefully the whole crowd gets the timing of 9 correct!

Reckon that's the way to go. Bat pretty much all day to set a target of between 250-300. 'only' another 150+ runs across two sessions today, save for about 20 mins to have us batting at the end of the day. Then a whole day to bowl us out which is nowhere near the realms of impossibility!

Root is still the top Test batter, for me, no matter what current rankings say.

As good as Brook was playing, think Deep was clever there to slow it up knowing Brook was risking those kind of shots.
