Very poor shot that. 1 usually brings 2 or 3 in these big chases.

No need for that run. Poor from Root
Think people got ahead of themselves with the good partnership. Although his been really stupid cricket since 5 minutes before tea.

Rest of today, then tomorrow, thats circa 2 an over.
India seem to be making scoring runs easy for England at the moment.

119 to win tomorrow, with 7 wickets in hand.
Root & Bairstow still there.
Those two stay put, and they should do it; lose a couple of wickets and it could be squeaky bum time again...

Brilliant partnership and very important they both got to the close. Slight favourites going in to the final day which is quite a turnaround
One of these 2 needs to kick on tomorrow for a big hundred. Still over 20 overs to the new ball

This added bonus of scoring quickly can't be underestimated, heaps of time with the old ball, fielders and captain under pressure and tired seamers because the spinner gets blasted

What's Jonny been on this summer? I definitely want some of that too.
People moaning ‘it’s not test cricket’ are bananas.
I was unfortunate enough to watch nearly all of the series in the Caribbean. No chance any youngsters watching would be thinking they want in on that. Test cricket should move with the times and not be held back by dinosaurs that like watching 70 runs a session.

Has to be a kopite that Kohli fella, has all the usual traits, if I was living around Edgbaston way, I'd be shoring up the walls.
