104 in 25 overs, mostly without Pant. Ffs
England 1-2 both openers gone
you might think that I am not to sure
I was hoping we would bat till tea but that is looking unlikely.
Picked a good time to go to Lidl after a morning of chores. Now how to avoid the rest of this clusterfvck
And it doesnāt get any better. Bairstow gone on the stroke of tea, so itās 67-4 going into the final session. India definitely favourite for this now. Root still there, but even if he can stick around for two or three hours I find it hard to imagine heāll find enough partners to stay there with him.
Terrible decisions in the field this morning have cost us here.

Only once before has a team declared after lunch on the 5th day and gone on to win.
NZ in Sri Lanka 1984.
Not been watching as Iām me holidays, sounds like they let their hearts rule their heads in this morningās sessionā¦ oh dear.
10 overs left, India need 3 wickets
Bumrah gets rid of Robinson, then Siraj disposes of Buttler and Anderson in the next over. Devastating result.

Root shows someone in sport is even more tactically inept than Ralph
TBF he has at least acknowledged he messed up badly

England v India: āJoe Rootās side lost the plot in Lordās defeatā -
If Malan is the answer maybe we are asking the wrong questions? He really hasnāt done much since June even in the ODI/T20ās
Just witched the cricket on, India won the toss and chose to bat.
They are currently 11-2, Anderson with both of the wickets.
