    Bumrah made 50 off 30 balls. 
    We lost

    Think I'll go back to bed. All I've seen is India throwing the bat & getting runs.

    That was so close. What was Bumrah doing switching feet?

    Need Bumrah to do a Bairstow and go walkabouts.

    He did a jump about but came down with a split second to spare.

    I think we'll be back tomorrow morning with India needing less than 20.

    Stokes agrees with me.

    We need to sign Wood as our new centre forward

    Imagine getting out and losing by a run out due to a kicked ball to stumps

    I reckon yes
    I hope so - I don't particularly want to have to set the clock for 3.30am!
    Just watch the NFL stuff tonight, should take you through to 3.30.

    Just like Broady.

    6 off his first ball

    Wicket with his last 

    😂😂😂😂
  • So what were we saying...

    Pope flatters to deceive, while Hartley is the latest in the graveyard of Lancashire spinners picked and dropped after failing  :D

    Sack the board. We would have won before lunch if they'd organised a proper warm up match.

  • What a great few days for Test cricket

    Yeah, but can we beat them under English conditions when the ball is swinging & damp underfoot ?

    Hartley didn't even bowl THAT well, the pitch was doing everything and Leach's injury meant it was all for him. Pope's innings was outrageous

    Fantastic win by England after being 190 runs behind on 1st innings.

    Hartley back in the day would've been taken off in the 1st innings after being expensive and never seen again. AKA as a Simon Kerrigan experience.

    Tom Hartley 7/62 on debut in 2nd innings.

    1billion Indians on Twitter 

    They would have won with Kohli blah blah
  • golfaddick

    Just realised the total number of runs England got over their 2 innings.......666

    The DEVIL is in the detail.

    It is unlikely that Leach will make the next Test is due to start on Friday. So, will we play the extra seamer or throw in another rookie spinner? 
  • Addick Addict

    The elephant in the room is the absence of Kohli. Yes we were missing Brook but would he have even played? If he had, might Pope have missed out? Or would we have left one of the best keepers in the world out? Again.

    Injuries and withdrawals are part of the game. India threw the game away from a winning position and begin the series with many questions.
