Mike Flew and Nigel Ryder of this parish. Guide Dog drinkers. They are there for all 5 tests.
Finally saw them today when there was a crowd scene as Root reached his 100. They were sat next to a Leeds flag waiver, which will no doubt please them.
England were all out for 353
we got Rohit for 2 in the 3rd over but since then nothing
India 68-1 after 20 overs
Gill gone for 38
India 86-2

Seemed to go straight through Foakes gloves & Root took it behind tge keeper.
Helluva catch
Ashwin gone lbw kept low
India finally bowled out for 307, giving England a lead of 46. Jural last man out for 90. Bashir got his first five wicket haul in any form of professional cricket, some achievement. England started their innings after lunch and haven’t got off to the best of starts. Duckett caught at short leg off Ashwin for just 15 and Ollie Pope going first ball, LBW to Ashwin, his second duck of the match to leave England on 19-2. Root and Crawley staging a bit of a recovery, Crawley batting aggressively has 31 from 44 balls to give England a lead of 103.
