I think our spinners looked at India's and realised that 'we really aren't that good...'

Ben Duckett being interviewed after day 1:

"We are very happy being bowled out for what we got," Duckett told BBC Sport.

"Hopefully we can take two or three wickets early [on day two] and put them under pressure."

The left-hander added: "We're in a strong position, regardless of them only being one down."

India 175 ahead, 3 wickets left. After what Ben Duckett said in his post match interview yesterday he owes us about 200 runs when we finally get to bat!

The food and general experience of being in one of the maddest most chaotic countries on earth (yet it somehow just works) has more than made up for the crap cricket

I went to Bombay in the early 80's and the boss of a shirt factory took me to meet all his department heads in some dodgy hotel in the middle of nowhere. We were all in this little room and a waiter came in with a crate (similar to a milk crate) with a dozen bottles of brown liquid, I asked the boss what it was, he said it was whisky. Turned out it was half Scottish whisky and half some local alcohol (something to do with getting round taxes), I asked what the local alcohol was, he said in the UK, you'd call it petrol.

Tasted like petrol as well, though it got better the more you drank and it was okay by the end of the first bottle.

It's no wonder my pancreas is ****ed. :emoticon-0120-doh:
 
Eng net score 126/6 at close. Pope keeping us in it but only a matter of time surely?
