Credit to India, they really turned up today.

 

Root with bat in hand aside - have not.

Start waving our hands round and refuse to face pace bowling. It's as dark now as it was last night.

[StanSP]

It's gonna end up with Anderson and Wood playing like Shami and Bumrah towards the end of the day isn't it? 

That's how the test match has swung so far anyway

 

[Corky]

Kohli is a pain but he's a winner and far too good for the meek top order batsmen we have. Root is basically a top six on his own at the moment.

 

Pathetic all round today.

@Chocolate Teapot were you the intruder aiming for Kohli just after tea

I do live in North London but happily one of my mates offered to do it for me.

[Jimmy]

how many failures do the England openers have to have before the cvnts in charge actually do something about it?

[coolhandfox]

Test team has been poor for a long time, individual performance by Root, Stokes, Anderson etc have papered over the cracks over the last few years.

Sun is out in London now.

 

India getting all the luck in this series so far. Got the bad weather in the first test and last night.

 

Hard to work out which side is more annoying out of India or Australia.

I think we all know the answer to that!

Siraj makes me uncomfortable

Feel like any given time he'll explode and do something stupid. 

 

Maybe police or security need to get involved as soon as the game is over. This could get very fiery and testy.

To be fair I guess you make your own luck when you control the ICC scheduling though...

To be fair I've never seen the Australians (in recent times) take it as far as the Indians are currently. But when you've got that tool as a captain what examples is he setting?

So no answer to my question then? 

 

With all due respect I think you just need to take it on the chin and not sound so bitter.

Purely because of how much white ball cricket we play now, but sadly the red ball side of it has suffered as a result.

Dunno mate, I think Warner chinning Joe Root 2 days before the World Cup was probably worse  

 

The Aussies always get quite nasty with the sledging. It’s very much 6 and two 3’s I reckon.
