To be fair to Crawley if it pitches so far outside off stump it's not unreasonable to leave it..... the fact it moved so far back is out of his hands..... just bad luck.... Still 107/1 At Tea I think most of us would have taken that....
Excellent from the openers. Fair play to Crawley, leaving outside off so much better. I'd rather he got out bowled by a misjudgement than continuously nicking off. Lees has been superb. So positive. Tea came at the right time for England, with India with their tails up. Kohli clearly trying to wind up Lees as the players walked off. What an odious twat he is. Still 50-50 I reckon, but what a turnaround with this England team.
Just consolidate now and pick off runs when possible. Plenty of time to go on and win, just play sensible tonight.
Jesus 2 lbw reviews against Root. 1st one stupid pitching outside leg, 2nd one very close but just going over. Heart attack stuff, Root comes back with whipped 4 through midwicket. You feel this is the game right here, these 2 and Stokes have to get big scores.
Fantastic from these two again. A sell-out crowd tomorrow to hopefully see England knock off the remaining 119. Brilliant stuff.
