Terrible over rate. Only onto the 51st over at tea. Even with an extra 30 mins I doubt that they will get anymore than 82/83 overs in today.
Time for penalty runs. How about double the run rare for every over lost. So if only 83 over bowled today then England get added 7x (2x2.7= 5.4). Rounded up that would be 38 extra runs.
I blame the ECB for this shambles! Hardly any first class cricket played by many of our team this season so far, as ECB is to busy chasing a quick buck by brining in the very stupid Hundred comp, at the same time as One day cup and T20'S. If you play lots of one day cricket and the shots played in those comps, Championship and Test cricket discipline just doesn't exist. It's not fucking rocket science!!

I've made the same point time and time again. And yet we have an in form red ball batsman who scored a ton against this Indian side a couple of weeks ago who can't get a look in. Why?
Awful to watch.We are just abysmal at the moment.India are bowling very well and our batting again as been awful.Watch them make batting look easy and watch us struggle to take wickets.Just not good enough.To many of our players playing are t20 and one day and it shows.Pathetic.

Sadly I think you're going to be right, we are playing stupid shots against good bowling, unless we come out firing on all cylinders when they bat I fear we are screwed and it's only day 1. We don't even have a settled side with all this rest and replace nonsense!

Its been going on for far to long.And the problem is there isnt any decent batters out there.The top 3 have been to inconsistant and know that even if they dont score runs they will play the next test.Test cricket in England slowly dying and this upsets me.

England losing an early wicket.
Childish I know.
I'd say he is a very skillful operator and gives England a different option.
Genuine all rounder.
Could have come in at 3 with Crawley at 4.

That would concentrate the minds.
