I have been so busy I forgot that was on :slight_smile:

146-6 Ashwin leading edge for an easy catch.

I love the way the Indian batsmen look incredulous when they give an easy catchā€¦

Pant survives an LBW call in the last over before tea, given not out, review has him surviving on Umpires call, just, was going to take the bails off but by less than half a ball.

Tea 153-6, trail by 52 runs

That was millimetres. Critical.

Yep 217-6 now

Pant is twatting it about - 89no

Finally got him for 101

With home umpires I wonder how strong the temptation is to lean one particular way with the umpireā€™s call?

This done by the computer, apparently the balls arenā€™t taken into consideration for hitting the top of the wicket, just the ā€œbottom of the top of the stumpsā€, if that makes senseā€¦
