A superb dayās Test cricket, fabulous entertainment. Itās a long time since Iāve seen an England cricket team play with such a positive mindset and self belief, McCullum has certainly had an impact. Just 120 to win tomorrow with 7 wickets in hand, what a great result that would be.

I had stuff to do tomorrow
282-3
Less than 100 runs needed now, India had the ball changed and itās done less since thenā¦
Cloudy
Lights on
1st 2 balls did strange things
Ball swinging
So India change it.
Next 2 balls hammered for 4s
India getting the ball changed again!! The one they changed to, 5 overs ago??, isnāt swingingā¦
Surely theyāve got to do something about thisā¦

If Root carries on like this Bairstow isnāt going to get a ton
22 runs required, Root dealing in boundaries and 2s
This win should be dedicated to Virat Kohli.

Bairstow 12th Hundred in 87 tests, 4th in 5 innings and 2nd in this test.
357-3
Just been looking at the figures, it really could be possible but I donāt want to tempt fate but Root could catch Tendulkar.
and a 250 run partnership, Bairstow in full flow now as wellā¦
Only 5,500 to go, donāt think heāll do it this summer 
It wonāt work all the time in fact doing it 4/4 is unbelievable but its exciting and it will reinvigorate the best format of the game.
