What goes through a batsman's head reviewing one like that? Dead on.

[Spiritwalker]

Shocking decision.

Agreed. England should get that review back too. Quite clearly no shot played.

Watching it with no sound. Did they really say he was playing a shot?!?

Yep.

I couldn't believe it either. 

Bat is so far behind the pad.

Ah well. Was only hitting middle of middle.

Amazing. Did he really think Root would be thick enough to review that if he thought he'd played it?

Elsewhere, the West Indies have completed an unlikely 2-0 series win in Bangladesh with what is largely a reserve team. Interesting to see how many of those players they stick with in future...

Get a taxi.

If i was on my own that's what i would do....but with the mrs,a couple of cricket mad kids and myself it might be expensive......Actually you make a good point,just got to look at taxi prices from new street to edgbaston.

Yeah was just an idea  

 

Train then taxi has always been what I've done with family when I've gone. Obviously with kids it changes things a little but not out of the question. I'm pretty sure plenty of people rent out their spaces on the main road leading to the ground from the town centre (I don't know the name). But getting out of their would be chaos with all the traffic at start of the day/end of the day.

A friend sent me stuff about what happened with the groundsman between the tests  - can post the link if anyone is interested.

Whoa, the way this is going England might have a target than is merely wildly unlikely rather than flat out impossible.

Nah, perhaps not then.

The bus is easy enough from New Street

Stokes getting bored  

[Voll Blau]

Might watch those Foakes stumpings from earlier all day.  

[StanSP]

Happy for Ashwin. Can be controversial over the years but in the context of the game, that is a superb ton. On home ground too. Only behind Botham now for most 5fers and ton in same match. 

[RonnieTodger]

Depressing watching, this.

I've got to say Kohli hasn't impressed mud with his attitude as a sportsman and leader today.

 

He must know he's a role model for as many people as pretty much any other person alive...how exactly does having a go at the umpire look in that regard?

I think Ebony was right afterwards. Fine to be in the moment and emotional and intense etc etc, but there was a time to back off after being spoken to by the umpire, but he persisted, which made it look much worse.

Yeah, agreed.

 

The main thing about it is that it was entirely needless - India are winning this tomorrow if he picks an argument with the umpire or not.
