Bumrah also best bowler in these two teams by a mile.

 

From what read that was a jaffer of a ball that got Crawley, feel for him

 

Pope and Duckett had narrow escapes as well, both from Bumrah.

 

India's day yesterday, but the first two sessions today have been England's. If we can we can win the third session, we'll be in a pretty good position.

 

Duckett gone to guess who.

Never mind, Root and Brook should be good for a couple of hundred.

 

Finish the day only two down and we'll be favourites to win this.

 

Poop

 

That's torn it.

 

Got to keep your foot behind the line, Jasprit.

 

Brook is one lucky boy

 

A great day's cricket. An excellent ton by Pope and superb bowling by Bumrah.

Nicely set for tomorrow.

 

That's a far better outcome for England than I expected this morning.... had vision of India getting 600 and England being 4 or 5 down for not alot at the close..... shame about Root going just before close and Brook got lucky....
Set up nicely for tomorrow....

 

A view showing some of 'The Hill' at the SCG, 1980 vs England.
Ahhh ..... those were the days. An esky of Tooheys New, a council singlet and bugger the sunburn.

 

I can still remember watching it on tv.
Photo quality isn't the greatest.

 

Shame for Brook but the rest of the game could be very interesting if England do well with the ball. Sadly I don’t think we have the attack to do it.

 

England almost wipe out the deficit.

 

We'll chase down 425 on day 5.

 

Proper Test Cricket......

After picking up a wicket in first over of the day, India have consolidated up to lunch and are now beginning to up the tempo.... Pant taking a liking to Bashir's bowling..... currently lead by 225 with 7 wickets left.....
