Minimum 54 overs left.

Any chance of some rain ?!

 

[Chewbacca]

England should have a Mexican batsman the number of times I shout “Jesus” at the telly when our openers are briefly in.

Sibley is just pathetic. No idea what that fraud is doing in the team. I'm actually starting to hate him now.

Possibly bad light if they can last till after half 5 or 6

Will need to bat at least 45 more overs though I'd guess

 

[ToffeeTim]

Malan should be selected for the next match

'Extras' could be vital for us. Second highest scorer at the moment!

….sure I just heard these stats whilst listening to Test Match Special in the bath;

The first time EVER in a home test that England have lost both openers for a duck (surprising if true).
37% of the innings they’ve opened, the Sibley & Burns partnership has failed to reach the end of the 2nd over.
Sibley and Burns have got more ducks collectively in this calendar year than Alastair Cook got in his England career.

Just seen England dropped Crawley for 2 lads who have scored 20 runs combined across 4 innings in this match. Absolutely pathetic selection again from the selectors.

Sibley is just nowhere near good enough mate.

Crawley Burns Malan top 3 for me next test

Do you have bubbles in your bath mate ?
Proper deep bath I reckon you’ve got..

While we’re at it, 16% of Burns’ innings have lasted less than an over

India doing their best to help. 23 Extras.

…be ironic if India messing about for an over & not declaring at lunch costs them at the end of the day. England 9 wickets down go off for bad light.
