Bumrah (the Ever Living) LBW, Leach bowling, given out, reviewing and he got a clear edgeā¦

Joe Root. 5-8. Now get a double ton!
This morningās session so far 8 wickets, 36 runs, early afternoon tea being takenā¦
Crivvens!
I really wasnāt expecting that.
Match over by stumps today?
Like I said, India wonāt have to bat again, they have a 33 run lead, that will be more than enough on this pitchā¦
Off to a flyer thenā¦
And you laughed at me??
Axar hat-trick with the first 2 balls of the inningsā¦or is it? England reviewingā¦Bairstow plumb, going for the sweep first ball, when will they ever learn?
No heās not, going over the wickets, as you wereā¦
And then heās castled the very next ballā¦playing for turn and there was none thereā¦
England 0-2
It wasnāt a laugh of ridicule. It was a laugh of defeated resignation.
This pitch is difficult to play, some balls are turning, some arenāt, yet the 'tater says itās not the pitch itās the batsmenā¦
I guess what they really need to do is get to the pitch of the ball instead of back foot defensiveā¦
If itās the batsmen then itās all of them, on both teams.
Anything much happening in the Test? Stuck in no 4G landā¦
Nah, pretty dull so far.
Cool.
Cheers for that.
Ashwin convinced of a LBW call, given not out so they review, ball tracker shows it was going over the stumps, lot of bounce with a hard, new pink ballā¦
England 8-2
It was this research that cost me my job at the creche.
I was just about to joke about Sibleyās āsoft bottom handā
But now heās out and Iām too sad for jokes.
