🏏 3rd Test :engerland: England (and Wales) v India 🇮🇳 - Trent Bridge

Root & Rashid bowling in tandem now.
On a pitch where we were destroyed in 2 hours by a seamer yesterday. I assume the sun is shining then?

Lunch - Ind 194-2

Pujara 56, Kohli 54

India Lead by 362

Good one to win then :wink:

Fark you Tripzy.
Made me look at the score on ESPN FFS

Tea 270-3, lead by 438

Kohli will probably declare when he gets out or makes 100

Kohli is no team player.
He could have clearly declared with a lead of 1/10th of what he has and still won and given his lads some needed time off to eat Jerk Chicken or Chicken Tikka Masala.

Kohli just got his 23rd test century

No declaration

Kohli LBW b Woakes 103

STILL no declaration

I think they’re going to bat through the day and then give themselves 2 days to get England out with an unrealistic target!! Quite why they think they need 2 days is beyond me…

Like London buses…

“Anderson takes Pant’s outside edge” (according to Atherton anyway) straight to Cook who, surprise surprise, manages to not drop it.

282-5

Only 2 more days to bat, where’s Atherton when we need him

All over by lunch??

I know this was an impossible task… but Cook’s got to go, hasn’t he?

Bairstow will be out injured Cook has to go but why not Jennings also? And where the hell do we find TWO Testopeners when we’ve only had 1 since Strauss quit

Nutshell, as I believe they say. Nobody has been found to partner Cook since Strauss retired, at east not for any length of time - and it’s not been for want of trying. So if Cook did go, who would open in his stead?
