    Indian are a talented team and amazing that Rohit Sharma, Kohli and Ashwin have all retired in the last year and yet they are still a force in world cricket with their vast production belt of cricketers.
    If India had held their catches in the 1st test they would be 2 up already but it's 1-1 and an intriguing final day ahead.

    Helps having one a half billion people and cricket as the number one sport.

    They should absolutely dominate tbh.

    I'd imagine the ICC will fine Joff 50% of his match fee and give it to Siraj as is it's just not cricket

    Exactly. Even an India B or C team should still be very good given how cricket obsessed they are.

    It will be interesting to see if we actually get Bashir on. Washington Sundar took 4-22 in our second innings and it would be worth getting him on, especially with Jadeja at the crease, even from the perspective that they might try and target him. That can't happen with less than 50 or 60 runs to get because it does then look like a bit of a last ditch effort to take a wicket.

    And that's why I said their vast production line of cricketers.

    Tests between evenly matched teams are the dogs testicles.

    Great review. Umpire has to have thought bat first.

    Well done Stokes.  And well done Root for convincing him he was right to review.

    I suspect that the umpire thought that the double sound was him hitting the ball onto the pads. That's what reviews should be used for rather than the desperate ones we see on a daily basis from batters and bowlers alike.

    Although, of course, we have two left handers in now.

    Vital wicket and who could have predicted a year ago that Stokes and Archer would be in tandem in a test match fit and deadly.

    We need to find a way to piss Archer off during the Ashes.
