Moeen recalled to the squad, Broad out, Anderson a doubt…

India 100-0 off 33 overs, going to be a long couple of days for the bowlers…

Sharma gone for 83, 126-1

Anderson to Rohit Sharma, OUT

This is a genius at work. After moving a couple away, he bowls one that jags back in after pitching. Once you start threatening both edges, you are in play, but you have to be accurate too. And Anderson is accurate as he sneaks this past the inside edge, hits the pad and then the top of the stumps. Would have got the lbw if not the bowled. Ends a superlative knock from Rohit, who has turned around India’s fortunes away from home from the time he opened in Sydney

Just reviewed an LBW not out decision that was shown to be going over.

137-1 after 45.2 overs

Stumps 276-3, India’s day all around.

Cricket’s fucking dead to me.

Feck sake, India are living a charmed life at the moment, last 2 overs Sharma has been dropped by the 'keeper, 2 run out chances where England have just missed the stumps.

When they have hit the stumps Jadeja had grounded his bat…

Ishant Sharma given out LBW, looks like he was hit outside the line of the stumps to me. He’s reviewing

Now if this the 100 it’d be decided by now…

Jimmy on an unusual hat trick next innings would be over 3 overs!
Good effort that.
Now let’s limp past 220 all out if we can

Ummm, how do you work that out considering that Wood took the last wicket??

Anderson took the wicket of Bumrah with the last ball of his final over, and the wicket of Sharma with the last ball of his previous over…

Burns thick edge on the 4th ball he faces, drops just short of the slips…

I blame BBC text. Was using it to avoid going into IKEA
