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.

 

Hearty congratulations

 

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

 

Ireland's Campher takes five wickets in five balls - https://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/articles/c9qx5l12w53o

 

Stokes goes early this morning.

 

Jofra's back!

 

89mph that one, followed by one ay 93 mph!

Just hope he can stay fit for the Ashes.

 

Talk about evenly balanced! Massive day tomorrow.

 

England in trouble 87-4, poor shots from Duckett, Crawley & Brooke especially

 

Deep trouble

 

Need to get 250 to have a chance.

 

165-6. Need a late wicket partnership.

 

England set India target of 193.

 

I agree with Stolls, 250 would have made it interesting.

Going to need a few early to put the pressure on otherwise tomorrow should be procession.
