Standing outside an ice cream parlor in Whitby and I hear a loud cheer and the dulcit tones of David Gower, someone watching the cricket on their balcony.

Anyway cheer was for Pandya LBW and given after he reviewed.

148-6

I see Kohlis half way to that 250.
How much is that dropped catch going to count in the series as he has dragged India back into contention here

Time to get Cook out of the slips. He spills one in just about every game now, today’s off Kohli was a regulation catch, will probably cost us the game. Need someone younger and sharper there. Kohli knows what he’s doing opening with the spinner, poor old Cook is clueless playing him.

Anyone actually surprised England have stuffed up the session?

I dunno what to do about Cook. His best days are clearly behind him, but we’re already in a desperate state trying to find openers. In a 3 man slip cordon though, I’d have Root, Buttler and Malan (despite his drop today).

Fucking cracking day at the test though, no? What entertainment!

Oh.
Nothing to see here, move along please.

Just checked the state of play at lunch.

Oh heavens.

I blame the weather. :lou_angry:

Oh my lord 86-6 FFS

Keep up Buttler out first ball after lunch.

Currently 96-7.

Make that 138-8. Rashid gone. Broad in.

Young Curran’s doing his best to drag us to a total, bless the lad.

Hard to believe he’s still not old enough to go on a bus unaccompanied.

63 at a run a ball.

Out for 63, trying desperately to get a run so they Anderson didn’t have to face the first ball of the next over.

India need 194.

India lost their first. 19-1.

Darwan gone. 22-2.

46-3.

Is it even a little bit not boring?

87-5… getting interesting…
