  • Ahmed has bowled tidily so far. As I type he's just been cut away for 4  :D
  • Rehan you beauty - Patidar plays one defensively only for the ball to spin back onto the stumps

    249-4
  • KP saved from further grilling on his hair by a wicket!
  • Rehan has probably only bowled one bad ball in his spell but the pressure created has been a joint venture with the 41 year old seamer at the other end who has gone for just 27 runs off 15 overs
  • Anything below 450 is a cracking effort by England. Need to get that long tail exposed.
  • 150 (224) for Jaiswal 

    263-4
  • Root hasn't bowled well today which makes it even more surprising that Stokes didn't turn to Rehan earlier

    Yeah massively overbowled today. Good on turning tracks, but lacks the control needed on flat ones.
  • 277-4 at drinks. New ball due in two overs. Making Anderson come back for another spell seems almost cruel but needs must!

    Jaiswal 154* (227)
    Axar 15* (24)

  • Steven Finn is playing's loss but such a good addition to the world of commentary and punditry 
    Having stolen a living at Sussex i'm glad he's moved into comms! 
  • Don't anyone tell Golfie that we will bowl more than 90 overs in a day. He won't believe us!
  • We need a miracle to save this test . 

    Lightning won’t strike twice 
  • Axar gives his wicket up by cutting a ball from Bashir straight to Rehan at point for 27 (51)

    301-5


  • Bashir barely celebrates when a shit ball gets a wicket. I like that
  • Outside of Jaiswal it's been a pretty poor effort from India's batsman again. It's a fill your boots pitch
  • A real lack of match winning partnerships in this innings, the massive ones that grind the opposition down

    Bar Jaiswal, there is a same trend with the Indian batsmen as in the First Test but they at least had the excuse of a difficult wicket there. In this innings, the men out have faced 41,46, 59, 72 and 51 balls respectively. Hopefully we will show a bit more application when it is our turn to bat. Dravid will be going absolutely bonkers with them because if there's one thing he hates it is players giving it up once they are in - he wasn't known as "The Wall" for nothing!

    I've finally seen an over with dot, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 in it. I can die happy
    No all run 5 though

  • A bit of Indian time wasting in this session - two lots of drinks have come on since the official drinks break and now physio treatment
  • Bharat "enjoys" the mirror image dismissal of Axar. Again caught at backward point with catcher and bowler (Bashir and Rehan) reversed

    330-6
  • 336-6 off 93 overs at close

    Jaiswal 179* (257)
    Ashwin 5* (10)

    Anderson 17-3-30-1
    Root 14-0-71-0
    Hartley 18-2-74-1
    Bashir 28-0-100-2
    Ahmed 16-2-61-2

    We've done really well given the nature of the wicket and the fact that we have three rookie spinners plus a part time spinner in the team. The match could well revolve around how quickly we can get Jaiswal out in the morning. 
  • India 1.29
    England 7.20
    Draw 10.50
  • 336-6 off 93 overs at close

    Can we get back some of our deducted World Test points?  ;)
  • Jaiswal goes to his 100 (151) by pumping Hartley over long on for 6
    he certainly came up the hard way according to wiki ..

     '' . At the age of ten, he moved to Mumbai to receive cricket training at Azad Maidan. He was initially given accommodation in a dairy shop in return for work but was evicted by the shopkeeper as he was unable to work frequently. As a result, he lived in a tent with the groundsmen at the Maidan,[6] where he sold panipuri to make ends meet.[7]

    After living in tents for three years, Jaiswal's cricketing potential was spotted in December 2013 by Jwala Singh, who ran a cricket academy in Santacruz. He provided Jaisawal with a place to stay,[2][8] before becoming his legal guardian and obtaining his power of attorney''

    No different to a few Premier League Academy footballers who think they've made it before they've kicked a ball in anger is it?  
  • I overheard Golfie saying Bazball on this pitch will get us 150  ahead by close of play tomorrow. Just whether we can then hold India to a small enough lead for us to not worry about batting on a minefield in 4th innings

    New ball taken early this morning. Anderson not happy with Ashwin standing so close to him when he’s running in to bowl.

    Some suggestions in the commentary box that Ashwin is trying to push the limit on how close he can get to running on the wicket and create rough areas on the wicket for later in the match.
