    Epic game of tennis going on in Paris. 4 and a quarter hours as they start the 5th set. Top quality from both players.

    Sinner looked like he was running away with it early on
    One thing for sure is that Djokovic won’t be adding to his Slams. These two are too powerful and too good for him. His time has passed.

    Enjoyable T20 with the short boundaries at Bristol. You know it’s going to be high scoring when it’s easy to cut the ball square for six.

    Sinner serves for the match and is broken - now it’s Alcaraz’s turn

    Great victory for England in the first test, superb chase today Duckett, Crawley and Root to the fore.

    Incredible Test.
    Almost 1,700 runs scored.
    England should have been batted out of the game after the position India were in early on day 2.
    But no chase seems to be beyond England in home Tests - and Root is often at the fore.
    Headingley seems to produce some incredible games. It can't miss out a Test in the future under this rota system; if it does the ECB has no soul.

    Fabulous knock and great partnership with Harry B. Was looking desperate at 11.10am, now all to play for again!

    Unfortunately the last 5 wickets fell very cheaply

    Great new ball bowling to be fair, although it was a bad collapse.
    England need quick wickets, but failing that to keep the scoring rate slow. I imagine India will be looking for 400 lead declaration.

    450/500 after the last test. Can get that lead in 2 sessions.

    India are cowards. 550 ish ahead and still batting with 3 and a half sessions left. England have really spooked them.

    Getting silly now. 598 ahead - no sign of a declaration. England will need about 5.7 per over in they did declare now!
    Most runs India have ever scored in a Test
    Gill becomes the first player ever to score 250 and 150 in same Test
