    Sam Curran has been in the nets. Just as well there wasn't another couple of wickets, or else he would have had to run back!

    I've got bad news for you. Harrison specifically made reference yesterday for the need for the T20 Blast to dovetail with the Hundred. He also would not deny, when asked, like other franchise competitions such as the IPL and Big Bash, that the Hundred would be expanded.

    Oh well if that's what they want fair enough! Just don't expect us to be a force in Test match cricket!! It's all about the money!

    Yeah.  Just imagine how bad India would be if T20 cricket ever caught on there.

    Expanded to 120 balls and 18 counties hopefully...

    A decent day at Lord's today. Low scoring, but a good contest. Great that masses of money was raised for the Ruth Strauss Foundation

    Great effort that and full credit to the Indian team for their participation.

    I though I heard Michael Holding say on Thursday that the total needed to rise to at least 226k. Why that particular number I don#t know but he needn't have worried

    In article on Hameeds golden duck it said that Sanath Jasasuriya once got a golden duck but was out for 1 run 

    how did this happen as he was not run out

    Whilst I’m not a massive Bairstow fan in the test format, he has looked more solid this series.

    216-3 at lunch. Great effort by England, and Bairstow proving a few doubters wrong (and I'll admit to being one of them!)

    On TMS they concluded it was a cockup by the scorer, as it should have been 1 run from 3 deliveries!

    Sri Lanka v Pakistan, First Test, Columbo, August 1994.  Day 4, Sri Lanka, second innings, Jayasuriya c Rashid Latif b Wasim Akram 1 (1b 10m SR100.00).  

    No idea how this could have happened though!

    5th day tickets on Monday only cost £20 (£10 for under 16s), should be a full day's play

    That would (or, at least should) go down as a ball faced.  (No balls count towards the balls faced by a batsman, but wides don't).

    Does completing a run before getting caught whilst running the second leave you with 1?

    341-6 Moeen out for a well made 27

    England just 23 behind, a great chance for Curran to build an innings. Flat pitch, tired bowlers, plenty of time

    And Curran is out first ball...

    No.  No runs are scored when the batsman is out caught.

    Get your kicks on Root 66! They're the only kicks you're likely to get watching this England team bat I'm afraid :-(

    A shame that Jimmy is bowled by the last ball of the day, so the Indian batsman will be able to get ready for 11am tomorrow

    Root 180no, ridiculously good

    A draw looks on the cards, but it only takes 1 bad session for you to lose a Test match. Which side has a batting collapse in them
    ....?

    Sharma and Rahul both out to Wood... These are huge wickets if the first innings is anything to go by

    Looks like these 2 Indian batsmen have fallen asleep. A combined 23 runs in 137 balls. Pedestrian is not the word.

    Feels like a 5th day playing for a draw, rather than day 4 when England have to bat last.
