Anderson in amongst the mayhem has gone for 23 from his first five 5 overs, don't usually see that.
...Lancashire 105-0 at close. Good day, just hope it continues and the weather remains fair.

Still breezy across the Pennines, however overnight rain will gradually ease with some bright spells developing. Becoming dry in the afternoon but perhaps the odd shower developing later. Maximum temperature 16 °C.
Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:
Largely dry and sunny but perhaps the odd shower Wednesday. More cloud and a scattering of showers Thursday. More organised rain, locally heavy with a risk of thunder Friday.
Batted well Lancs. Given the pressure on the game and the openers, they applied themselves very well. Looked positive whenever anything wide or on the legs. Another good morning session and Lancs will be in control. Yorkshire are incredibly suspect at the top of the order. Hope Brown & Davies come out tomorrow with the same attitude.

What a day it's been, one of England's greatest cricketing heroes has played his last test innings, and what an innings it has been.
Wonderful day, wonderful occasion and a fairytale ending, one to savour and remember. Everyone was loving it, leaving centre stage with everyone wishing for a little bit more is perfect, tomorrow he'll be gone and we'll miss him. We're very unlikely to see an opener of his ilk in an England shirt again.
A mention too for skipper Joe Root, back to four, back to form and back to his imperial best, nice to see.
Tomorrow it'll be all about completing the job, finishing in the right way, and recording a crushing 4-1 scoreline. They have taken more than a few giant strides along that road with the three early wickets, including that of Kohli for a golden duck, which really means it should all be now a mere formality, a matter of when, not if.
Cookies great mate Jimmy Anderson needs just one more wicket to go past McGrath as the most prolific fast bowler in Test cricket, what an achievement that would be, in what has become a test match for notable records and one great farewell.

..sport provides special occasions and special days. Today was one, thoroughly enjoyable and a mention for the classy way in which India’s players congratulated Cook leaving the pitch.

India's biggest defeat by England (runs) is by 279. Can see that being beaten tomorrow.
Perfect way to go in my opinion. There's been calls for a while now for him to move on, and now the narrative will be about him going out on a high and rightly remembered as a legend.

'kinell mate, you've left half of it hanging off the edge of the table, lucky they didn't fall off.
