    Would have been interesting, if that was given, would he have reviewed that? I guess prob not, as it just looked out didn't it?
  • Root looks much more settled, rather than the frantic batting we've seen in previous Tests.

    I think when you're on 130 with 3 reviews left you're using one for any and all LBWs

    From not sniffing 400 to potentially looking to bat India out of the game… I know I’ve invited the collapse now…

    What do we think a good first innings score would be?
  • PWR

    Wondering if Anderson’s time has run out and should he retire like Broad?

    Obviously conditions are either helpful or not to his type of bowling but he doesn’t seem to be as effective as he was?

    Got a horrible feeling it will start to deteriorate quite quickly after tomorrow. Think we need 500 minimum to have a chance of surviving the onslaught in the 4th innings

    He was absolutely brilliant in the 2nd test.

    I expect it to be good for batting throughout. The spinners will be more in contention in the 4th innings, but I can't see it suddenly turning into a complete bunsen.

    Duckett could have had a long test career from way back .. supposedly he fell from grace by pouring a drink over a senior pro's (Anderson??) head and was non grata for a long time .. he's now making up for lost time

    Ashwin pulls out of third Test.

    Means they miss his bowling & only have 10 batsman. We really need to take advantage & get a 1st innings lead.
  • Terrible for him, after the joy of getting 500 wickets.

    Massive bonus for England though. 207-2 with no Ashwin, and Bumrah looking quite creaky.

    Anything over 399 is not to be sniffed at

    7/2 on the draw is great value

    Two wickets lost in quick succession, including Bairstow for a duck after the worst review in the history of Test cricket.

    225-4 and still 220 behind. Sigh.

    Duckett gets to 150

    239-4

    Oh Ben Duckett.......

    Third soft dismissal of the morning.

    260-5 and still 180+ behind.

    Stokes and Foakes navigate the tricky Kuldeep spell to get to lunch.

    290-5, 61 overs, trail by 155.

    Stokes 39 (73)
    Foakes 6 (28)

    83-3 from 26 overs in the session.

    Less than ideal morning. News to get within 50 of their first innings score I think 
  • Two wickets in two balls. Stokes holes out and then Foakes gets one that stops in the wicket. That might be it for us. 

    299-7

    India playing with 10 men still beating us. Something that will be repeated at 3pm this afternoon
