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
