Hundred up first ball for Root

Pretty poor shot in the air through gully but he will take it!

 

[Eggs]

…Root gone, 104. Good start to the day for India.

 

[Obes]

Stokes and Root both gone within first half an hour.

Will do well to put much above 300 now.

 

[Obes]

Bumrah now on a hat-trick. Cleaning up.

Dreadful morning for England.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Very poor start to the morning, but there is enough in this wicket if you bowl well

That's the end of that then.

 

[ToffeeTim]

That's the end of that then.

The game is very much in the balance

The game is very much in the balance

Imagine being able to keep India out in the blazing sun in the field till 4pm then putting them into bat. Two long days of toil, then pepper them up with some bodyline bashing. This england side has no brain. It's all brawn and bluster.

They’re up against an absolute top class bowler on a pitch doing quite a bit.

350 plus will be a decent score from here which they should get with smith at the crease.

 

[f.t.r.s]

Something not right with all these ball changes

 

[Rita_Poon]

having another check now?

 

[Rita_Poon]

seem has lifted?

 

[Rita_Poon]

Smith and Pant setting WK batting records.

 

[ToffeeTim]

I know he's the keeper, but surely Smith is better than a no 7?

 

[ToffeeTim]

22 overs only in the session. Terrible
