Kohli gone for a duck. Makes it interesting
Is it just me, or do the 'umpires calls' get given out when we're batting, but not out when India are batting? There's just been a not out lbw off Bess's bowling and at least half of the ball was hitting the stumps, yet bairstow got out for one that went over the stumps... (but ball tracker said it was just clipping them)
I thought that one on Pant was out tbh. Feels like all the marginal calls have gone for India in this series.
I didn't realise so much of the ball could be hitting and it remained umpire's call

Agreed. It wasn't just clipping the stumps, it was smashing them.
Bess is very disappointing. Has the ability to bowl balls that get good players out but he bowls far too much rubbish. There's one terrible ball every over and you can't afford that with only 200 on the board.

I think the on-field umpires have been ok. The most dubious decision of all was Rohit's lbw.
Need a wicket asap

Agreed. He's better than he's shown on this tour but has clearly lost confidence. As Root said when they dropped Bess after the 1st test, he needs to go away and work on his game with
Pant is a serious player and this is a match winning innings.
He should have been out for about 30 though

Pretty standard bowling effort by England. A good start then unable to bowl at the tail when they get into a good position.

Brilliant innings
