The test starts on Saturday? What the **** are they playing at? With the duration of test matches these days I can see starting on a Friday, but there is a chance that the weekend will see one and a bit innings........bizarre.
England win the toss again and will bowl. India are going to have to bat a lot better than they have so far, or it might be another short match.
If the weather 50 miles up the road in Nottingham is anything like here the ball will swing like a boomerang, it’s overcast and very humid.
Apparently the pitch is slow, and going to get easier. Probably today was the best chance to run through them, but hasn’t happened. Whatever the rights and wrongs of the Stokes thing I doubt it was ideal preparation for him to walk straight from the dock into the team.
Broad and Anderson mop up the tail. Now can England bat properly and get clost to, or ahead of India's 329?
Nice pre lunch session....thought we might be 2 down at least so to get through without loss is a fine start....
