Lancs in big trouble - Vilas lbw Hutton 15. Playing no shot, absolutely shocking decision from Umpire Hartley - struck him outside the line and if anything appeared to be going away rather than nipping back. 124-7

Terrible.

Pathetic this

Predictably so.

We'll either get bowled out for 200 or nurdle our way to a dull draw

All over

Oh

Bairstow again showing why he’s really not all he thinks he is when it comes to Test match cricket! Attempts a ridiculous shot were he could have been out but saved on a review, then a couple of balls later stumps flying everywhere!
Get Ben Foakes fit and then give him a decent run in the side, by some distance the best English wicket keeper and he takes batting in a Test seriously!

All over

By tea!!!

 

[Methuselah]

Talking about brain dead, losing a wicket to a run-out in these circumstances is beyond belief.

And the point of moeen Ali is? Can't bowl and his batting... I mean... he had the chance to put India into the ground in the 1st innings

Hopeless batting. Middle order have completely bottled it.

They shouldn't even have been attempting this total after only scoring at 2 an over up to lunch.

A hundred for none and then to collapse like this is totally embarassing.

 

[The binman chronicles]

Ridiculous that you could start the day so promising and then do that.

Talking about brain dead, losing a wicket to a run-out in these circumstances is beyond belief.

Though with a 2 run contribution from our three middle-order batsmen, I don't think it has made much difference.

By far the best spinner available. England just don't have a good one.

There aren't better players available than the players in this side. They just aren't good enough and crack easily under pressure. Aussies will absolutely annihilate them with the lack of fight they show with the bat
