    419-8

    Hartley (34) 52 b Ashwin

    Done by one that kept low, snuck under the bat.

    India send an lbw decision against Pope for review but it’s turned far enough that it’s missing the stumps. Pope edging closer to the double hundred.

    420-9

    Wood 0 (7) c Bharat b Wood

    Soft edge behind of Jadeja. Pope is still four more runs away… Jack Leach comes out to bat with a heavily strapped knee.

    Wood gone now.

    Hoping Leach can hang around long enough for Pope to get 200.

    Oh dear.

    All out. Pope  bowled going for a ramp shot. 

    I'm off to bed.

    Pope bowled by Bumrah on 196.

    420 all out.

    India need 231 to win.

    Betfair says India 83%, England 17% which surprises me a little bit.

    I was hoping for 250 when Hartley and Pope were going strong so would definitely say the home side are favourites but not by that kind of margin.

    Meanwhile in Brisbane, the Aussies are eight down and still need 37 runs to beat WI.

    Steve Smith at the crease on 72, partnered by Nathan Lyon with only Josh Hazlewood left after that.

    Losing the last 3 wickets for 1 run is very disappointing as i was hoping we could get the lead up towards 250-275. Having said that we've made a much better fight of it than anyone expected.

    Gutted that Pope couldn't get the double hundred he deserved.

    Sharma dropped at slip by Crawley, difficult ish chance but disappointing that he couldn’t take it

    Smith opened the batting for them as well.

    England being competitive in India after being so far behind on 1st innings is great to see. India are rarely vulnerable at home and yet England had them rattled in the 2nd innings. With partnerships from the start and Pope who has scored a brilliant 196.

    We need to take every chance but one slip catch goes down straight away.

    As England scored 420 against India's attack I'm not surprised at those percentages.

    Aussies nine down with 25 runs still to get. Hazlewood joins Smith at the crease.

    42-1

    Jaiswal 15 (35) c Pope b Hartley

    Ran down the pitch at Hartley and poked it leg side, pouched by Pope at short leg.

    The two tests in Australia and India proving that Test Cricket is still the Dog's testicles.

    42-2!

    Gill 0 (2) c Pope b Hartley

    Hartley has two in three balls! Gill pushes to silly point and Pope takes it.

    West Indies win in Brisbane by 8 runs. Their two match series ends 1-1.

    Steve Smith left stranded on 91 not out.

    Tom Hartley has 2 wickets at the cost of 11 runs from five overs.

    Leach comes into the attack, replacing Root.

    As the 2nd Indian wicket goes the Windies take the last Aussies wicket to win the test.

    If I were Pope I would have told Stokes where to go when asked to field at short leg/silly point!

    Jack Leach bowling some very nice stuff so far - just hope he’s on some strong painkillers for that knee

    It might seem strange on this wicket to be disappointed with Wood but his lack of penetration does mean that we do only have one mode of attack. Bumrah has figures of 24.4-5-69-6 in the match which is in stark contrast to Wood's 18-1-55-0

    Been watching the aftermath at the Gabba rather than this, lol. What a character Shamar Joseph is

    I know what you mean. 
    But Pope does the job so well.
    It's a specialist position and he reminds me a bit of Bell.
