22 overs only in the session. Terrible

cryarsing about the ball because it's genuine hot and they've come unstuck brushing off the tail.

As ever, some very premature posts on this thread.

….pleasant surprise and much needed this partnership.

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

Imo he is getting runs where he is and counter attacking well, so would keep him where he is

Exactly. A pleasant surprise. That’s why I ‘wait and see’ instead of posting inane predictions.

Carse done really well to stick around. Got done a few times early on but luckily didn’t get out.

Nonsense with the ball-checking.

….very well done, you must be very proud of yourself

I think that's a reasonable score. I would be disappointed not to get a first innings lead now

 

[Charro]

Nice innings.

Think that’s above par on this pitch.

Two fifties and one ton. Needed another 90 minutes at the crease to further pressurise them in the field. 2 days punishment could be the difference. Gotta grind them into dust.

I’m very well practised at waiting. Usually for my wife to get ready.

As ever, it is hard to judge until the India has had a bat. I haven’t seen much of this Test apart from some of the wickets being taken but what I have read suggests that it is a competitive total.

Jofra's back!

Woof!

Welcome back, Jofra!
