    Ridiculous that Dawson was dropped for Bethell.

    Did nothing apart from somehow “being there” for Root to get 100. I get he’s young, left handed but jeez, those 2 batting performances were ****e.

    Let’s be honest. We all secretly want Woakes to have to come out at 9 down with 1 to win

    Given the amount the ball is moving again, he might already be adjusting his sling in anticipation.

    Obviously these wickets are bad. But furthermore, the drying up of runs is bringing the new ball into the equation.

    I might even make India slight favourites now.

    Now for Jamie to justify his ludicrous selection. If we wanted him for the extra batting...

    I blame Brooks. We were cruising and he decided to win it in a few balls

    Smith needs to score, not just survive.

    I’m guessing he probably knows that. Unbelievable pressure on him though.

    Although I suppose on the flip side, Siraj and Prasidh starting bowling after 69 overs. So by the time we get to 80 overs, neither may have many overs left in them.

    Well not unless they both get a rest for bad light!

    Perfect for India.

    Nah. Conditions are perfect for bowling. England can regroup.

    With the heavy clouds overhead it's unlikely the light will improve anytime soon.
