Unbearable this, might not watch tomo.

I will say with their skipper missing and being a man down all game England have done astonishingly well to be in this position. The mindset Baz and Stokes have instilled to chase these scores is remarkable.

Take the singles and let India know we have faith in Atkinson and Overton to bat. Dont let them set a strike farming field and get bogged down

Catches win matches the guy who made 100 got dropped on 18 a simple catch at long leg - Liam Dawson wearing heavy shades - doh

Brook was caught by Siraj carried it over for 6 as well.

Lots of big moments in the test match but now it's just about someone making a score for England tomorrow morning. A 15 or 20 will do it.

Agreed. We've done well.

Was watching the afternoon session with a few pals in the boozer though, and when we were cruising with root and brook we said Brook might give his wicket away playing a lofted shot when there were ones and twos available all over the ground. Right after he played two lovely shots to the boundary along the ground he skyed one.

The match is on a knife edge now.

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

This England side a couple years ago would have been rolled for 160 chasing this by the way.

 

[PITA]

Three reviews left so it was a bit of a gamble, and they know how important Root is.

If it pitched in line then gamble on height or hitting the wickets but when it was so obviously outside the line then absolutely no point. Even Stevie Wonder was asking WTF?

I accept that 6 dropped catches is a rarity it still may cost us .?.

Yep, if England do go on to lose it will be the defining reason, but I think they will still cross the line tomorrow morning.

Yes, but will he bat?

He will go out into the middle - Malcolm Marshall went out to bat with a broken arm !

Was a bit before my time but I've seen the footage, he was incredible too, scored some handy runs and then bowled in a cast.

 

[Hangleton]

Lucy Bronze played a whole tournament with a broken leg!

If they lose it will be the main reason, I agree
