Tea - India are 189 for 3
Rahane out, superb catch from Cook at first slip.
.5s reaction time apparently.
241-4
Kohli gone for 97, good bowling from Rashid
279-5
Interesting day that. That second session looked worrying but a few late wickets and we’re pretty even.
I do feel a bit for Curran, but Stokes was always going to come back in and any of that bowling attack would’ve have felt aggrieved to lose their place. Personally I’d have dropped Rashid, but then he went and took Kohli’s wicket, so what do I know?
30 minute delay, Broad opens. Must be some unsaid jokes about the Indian Batting being Pants somewhere.
Boshty!!!
Pant’s down.
WICKET
Pant b Broad 24 (Ind 323-7)
He’s torn right through Pant’s defence.
He’s ripped through Pant and sent his stump flying.
Pant slips dejectedly off, and India are humiliated.
I mean, I could go on…
Those efforts were Pants
Enough ‘jokes’ now. Broad’s on a charge!
About time too.
Except it means we will now have to likely bad earlier in the day under grey swinging condition skies.
180 all out coming up
I’d call you a miserable pessimist, but it’s probably true…
As Bumble would say
Shami gone. Wash the Car.
You’d like to think we know how to play the swinging ball better than they do.
Cook out before the 5th over then…? Nicking off to slip…?
Well that’s all done then.
