What a shame rain has set in again at Lords. In those conditions Anderson is pretty much unplayable. India 11-2 after 6 overs, both to Jimmy.
A no-brainer for Root to put them in. Shouldn't lose too much play today, hopefully. This rain is expected to last a couple of hours, with clearer weather afterwards, and they can play until 7.30pm. Not sure why the couldn't have started at 10.30, though.
Yeah, I just switched phone and broadband provider from BT who were just taking the piss with escalating bills to Virgin, which halves the bills but I confess I didn’t realise it would involve them drilling a new hole in the front of my house. Now they are bombarding me with TV deals. I must stay strong! If I had test cricket or majors golf on tap I would never move. The BBC sports app gives you the wickets and outstanding shots a few minutes after they happen.
India all out and we don't have to bat tonight. Couldn't have timed it any better. Well bowled England.
Jimmy Anderson is a magnificent bowler and it's remarkable that he's been going for so many years with the same consistency, he's going to be huge shoes to fill when he does eventually retire......
