Restart at 16;00 after early lunch & rain

If you belive Phil, you will miss an hour. His spell checker affects numerals as well.

Gill run out attempting a run that really wasn’t there

India 83-3

Atkinson to Gill, OUT

Oh, my word. Gill is run out for 21! Some stunning work from Atkinson in his follow-through, but where was Gill going? On a length on off stump, he pushes with soft hands towards the off side and sets off. But that was too close to Atkinson, who gathers the ball quickly and fires a direct hit. Gill was halfway down and also slipped while looking to turn back

Shubman Gill run out (Atkinson) 21 (35b 4x4 0x6) SR: 60

109-1 off 16 overs - England getting stuck into the indian attack

138-2 Crawley recently departed with a nothing shot

Root fired up and giving the Indian bowler a mouthful after he said something to him

Prasidh to Crawley, OUT

Crawley falls after a few quiet overs. Tried to manufacture a pull but sliced it off the edge, close to the base of the sticker, it lobs up for Jadeja to take a dolly at midwicket. 141ks, back of length, skidded to top-of-leg height. Crawley didn’t try to keep it down and was hurried.

Zak Crawley c Jadeja b Prasidh Krishna 64 (57b 14x4 0x6) SR: 112.28

Ah

Prasidh to Root, no run

Prasidh has a word with Root after beating bat. Wobble ball on a heart of a length lands around middle and seams away, Root looks to defend off the back foot from the crease

Prasidh to Root, FOUR runs

Guided wide of gully. More chat, Root retaliates this time, gets out the way before Kumar Dharmasena first has a long chat with Prasidh and then with Rahul and Gill.

142-3

Siraj to Pope, OUT

huge nip-backer, Pope is pinned to the crease… Ahsan Raza isn’t interested, despite the beseeching appeal from Siraj! India review, and this looks pretty good on first glance. Went through a touch low, struck on the back leg. What does ball-tracking say? Smashing the top of leg stump! Siraj punches the air in jubilation and India have another. Pope’s look of resignation as the ball thumped his right knee flap was key

Ollie Pope lbw b Mohammed Siraj 22 (44b 4x4 0x6) SR: 50

I missed England collapses

Dont tune in to the cricket unless you’ve already been watching.
Unless you have taken all your meds

Shower at rea clouds
Ball banana curving
Cannot get a bat near the ball.

We got so close

Gonna lose this
