After er a steady start 2 quick wickets, Crawley got a peach of a ball & would’ve got the best out, Duckett poor shot
Lots of swing for the Indian bowlers this morning, so 83-2 not too bad really. Should get easier this afternoon, hopefully.
Wow, time warp we’re back in the 70s…..England scoring at well under 4 an over. Will probably need to bat most of tomorrow as well. To be fair it’s rather warm where I am must be in the ‘****ing hot’ range in St John’s Wood.
A very slow day but England are in a good position. A bit of turn and a hint of variable bounce already, so batting in the fourth innings could be tricky. Stokes got this call right.
It’s just really odd seeing England on 251 with 4 wickets down after a full day batting, as opposed to 420 for 8. Shame Root didn’t get his ton this evening. 450-500 must be par for first innings
