Cricket

Well negotiated there, think that one partnership has killed us off and we will look back on that dropped catch! Also think we would need a day of glorious sunshine to chase this which won't be the case apparently.

That being said India's negative tactics after Pant got out were very odd, they should be completely out of sight

True, but India will look back on several dropped catches and getting Brook out on 0 with a no-ball.
As long as the weather holds out there is no chance of a draw, it's all or nothing for England these days.

Weather looking iffy.

I hope so but I also hope that the moaners don’t moan if they lose going for it.

Oh you know they will.

Looks like weather will decide it unfortunately.

Wednesday looks all clear. It’s just daft how inflexible test cricket can be.

I suppose it's all the logistics surrounding test matches - travelling, hotels, catering, staff etc. Good job it's not a four day test.

True. Doubt it’s as easy as it sounds just frustrating to see such a brilliant test decided by the weather.

That's why you should have five day tests, and five match series.

Knife edge stuff this test.

Why do I get the feeling the weather is going to rob us of a classic.

Worst weather was meant to be this morning.

Surprised they haven’t gone to jadeja earlier here.

 

[Charro]

Could be on for a full day I think.

Although light could be an issue later in the day.

Brilliant stuff from Crawley and Duckett so far. Really considered innings but keeping the run rate ticking

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Big moment in the game here you feel

 

[jaspercabbage]

In other news, Lancs 190-2. Wells just reached his ton .Useful 25 from Bailey earlier as night watchman.

 

[Lapeno77]

Crawley is itching to do something stupid here.

 

[ste d' indica]

I know he's the best bowler in the world but Bumrah has got the gait of the fella that pushes the trolleys round our Asda car park.

 

[Handball]

That's a very solid morning for England.
If they get to around 230 by tea, with say only 2 or 3 down, they will likely go all out to win in the last 90 minutes.
