Great tactic to tell Stokes to just bowl short for an over and shake things up

Great ton by Rahul 101 out of 152.

The pitch has died somewhat and is offering nothing to the bowlersā€¦

@Polski_Filip could be correct with his earlier prediction.

Rahul goes for 149, ripper of a ball by Rashid, turned more than Warneā€™s v Gattingā€¦

Rashid to Rahul, OUT , Shane Warne, eat your heart out. Adil Rashid shuts everyone up. This is some humble pie for me and others. What a special ball. In the rough, almost at the edge of the cut strip. Rahul stays back to defend it as it turns sharply. It just turns too much and hits the top of off. Rashid proves his worth finally. It would have taken a great ball to get Rahul here, and Rashid has produced it. Big ovation for Rahul

325-6

That was a ā€œball of the centuryā€ from Rashid
Rahul gone 326-6

Rashids ball to get Rahul was an absolute snorter - how the fuck did he get it to do that

Anderson to Jadeja, no run, dropped by Bairstow . Anderson still level with McGrath. Draws the edge as Jadeja pushes at this length ball outside off. The edge is dying to the left of Bairstow. He puts a dive in, gets the fingertips to it, but canā€™t hold on

hello hello, 2 more to go

Curran to Sharma, OUT , Given caught at the wicket but Ishant has reviewed it immediately. Again that swinging ball that nips away after pitching. Too much for the tailender. On a length, just outside off, Ishant covers the swing, but the ball leaves him and takes a thin outside edge, UltraEdge confirms. The first replay was not conclusive, but technology leaves no doubt. Dharmasena has eked out another unsuccessful review

I Sharma c ā€ Bairstow b Curran 5 (24b 1x4 0x6) SR: 20.83

On balance, the noise could also have been the bat hitting the pad but the 3rd Umpire didnā€™t even consider thatā€¦donā€™t they have hot sport in this series?

What a stunning delivery, a leg spinnerā€™s dream ball. Rashid will have trouble getting to sleep tonight.
