Just enough time to be 44-4

:lou_facepalm_2:

Duckett gone for a duck, caught by Gill in the slips…

Eng 13-1 trail by 574

And bang goes Pope first ball…

Akash 2 from 2

England 13-2

Sigh.
I hate always being right…

we will not get 44

Turning over to watch Jack Draper is just as depressing.

it is 44-3

And that’s why I don’t gamble…

Stokes c Pant b Siraj 0 (Eng 84-5)

Oh dear!

You appear to have missed Root getting out, strangled down legside off a shit delivery, the ball before.

Smith is playing well but ridiculously at times.

He’s trying to batter everything as if we are in a dominant position.

He’ll fuck up soon.

Or score the fastest ton in England history.

150 for Brook

Brook b Deep 158 (Eng 387-6)

Good wicket for Mark Butcher just before tea that.

Brook is the highest batting average ever of an English batsman
Will join the double 300 vlub etc.

Brook gets cramps and tweaks and new ball moved a bit

But follow on avoided. Most unlikely avoidance since Jon Snow & Perer Lever at Old Trafford back in the days of Peter West commentary iirc

Nasser.
England 192 behind.
Stuart.
Assuming they leave India 130 ahead, what do India do?
Woakes OUT.

Smith 173 joint highest ever score by an England keeper (Alec Stewart Auckland 1995)
