Cook wins the toss and will bat. This really should be his last chance. Bell also needs to score some runs.
Ballance & Bell purring along nicely now.....over 100 added and still 10 mins to lunch.....Hope I haven't put the mockers on them.....
Ballance would've gone yesterday had it been in place though - he cant moan. Let's have Bell get a century now!
Agree Stroller, if they don't want to use it in their homes series, fine, but they should not be able to dictate terms when they play away series if the host countries already use DRS.......
Good to see Cook getting some runs, shame he fell short of the ton. Great centuries by Ballance and Bell - very well deserved return to form for Bell, and Ballance showing that his failure in the last test was just a hiccup.
Decent session for England 100 odd runs for 2 wickets........push on after tea and then declare leaving India around half hour before stumps with 550+ on the score board.......
Like to see buttler bat like he does in one day matches from now on take risks & push score up quick.
Well that has worked out rather nicely....declare on 569-7 and have an hour or so for Braod & Anderson to have a go at the Indian openers who only have 10 minutes to get themselves ready after neary 2 days of fielding......
