    Massive wicket.
    Stokes nemesis strikes again.

  • Thought Stokes would review that with it being a bit high.

    May well need big innings from Root and Foakes.

    I'm glad this Indian commentator on channel 4 isn't the off field umpire he is as biased as f##k
    to be fair to swann, he's giving it back, and mentioned the stumping yesterday as well, again... Now complete silence again by the commentators.
    What is the controversy re the stumping as must have missed that?
    foakes did a v quick stumping, looked not out by eye, but on the playthrough replay looked like his foot was behind the line but not grounded (meaning it was out) third umpire only looked at it once with one angle and quickly gave it not out. Root was visibily shaking his head and unhappy.

    Thought that was worth a review. With only Foakes and Pope behind really it’d be worth the risk.

    The 3rd umpire gave it not out very quickly after looking at just 1 angle, without checking other camera angles 

    Ditto the Stokes catch

    Pitch is spinning more than a 18 year olds jaw at Glastonbury

    Sibley wasting a review probably stopped him going for it

    Would have been Umpire's call, so would have kept the review too (albeit would have been out  :D)
  • Be lucky to get 3 figures here.

    One away from Archer....
  • Archers due a knock !!

    Could be all over on day 2.
    Shocking pitch for a test match

    Shocking pitch for a test match 
    And we've got another Test on it.
  • Needs the surrey engine room to fire now.

    If Archer lasts more than 3 balls I’ll be stunned.

    Chopra does know the rules tho, which isn't clear at all where the 3rd umpire is concerned

    When India start their second innings (shortly) England should use the old ball, rather than opt for a new ball. 
  • Washington Sundar the 3rd spinner still hasn’t bowled in this match

    Just feel Ashwin and Axar Patel have our number.

    Positive guys.


    Fuck it Sam.
    You were spot on as England walked out to bat.

    We tried to be positive but out classed by Axar and Ashwin.

    every single run now is worth its weight in gold.
  • Spinners are now 23 wickets at 7.91

    you are a disgrace.
  • Anyone else got a tiny feeling that three seamers who can't bat might have been a mistake?
  • The person who will benefit most from the fiasco of the last two Tests is Jos Buttler. We were winning the series when he went home!
  • Pope has had a terrible game

    Not just the lack of runs, but he’s looked completely lost out there

    this 'test' has been a complete farce and will do the reputation and development of test cricket no good at all
