Ishant smashes Leach for the first 6 of the match, 141-9

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

Bumrah gone for LBW again, reviewing, 'tater thinks he’s plumb and he looks like he is…

Root gets a Michelle for 8 runs

India 145 all out

Joe Root. 5-8. Now get a double ton!

This morning’s session so far 8 wickets, 36 runs, early afternoon tea being taken…

Crivvens!

I really wasn’t expecting that.

Match over by stumps today?

Like I said, India won’t have to bat again, they have a 33 run lead, that will be more than enough on this pitch…

Off to a flyer then…

And you laughed at me??

Axar hat-trick with the first 2 balls of the innings…or is it? England reviewing…Bairstow plumb, going for the sweep first ball, when will they ever learn?

No he’s not, going over the wickets, as you were…

And then he’s castled the very next ball…playing for turn and there was none there…

England 0-2

It wasn’t a laugh of ridicule. It was a laugh of defeated resignation.

This pitch is difficult to play, some balls are turning, some aren’t, yet the 'tater says it’s not the pitch it’s the batsmen…

I guess what they really need to do is get to the pitch of the ball instead of back foot defensive…

If it’s the batsmen then it’s all of them, on both teams.

Anything much happening in the Test? Stuck in no 4G land…

Nah, pretty dull so far.

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 ball…

England 8-2

It was this research that cost me my job at the creche.

I was just about to joke about Sibley’s ā€˜soft bottom hand’

But now he’s out and I’m too sad for jokes.
