He probably will with a 400 lead. Not watched today but going at over 4 an over isn’t a disaster time-wise.
England clearly have a set amount of time that they want the bowlers to rest, but at least try to score quickly. Boring as hell.
Good point from Cook that we probably want to bowl for an hour tonight and then first thing the ball will still be hard and maybe starting to reverse with the bowlers still fresh. ****ing dull to watch though.
****'s sake, this is farcical. We must genuinely fear India knocking the runs off? We're losing all momentum.
Should have enforced the follow-on. Yes, the bowlers would be tired, but we've got six of them if you include Root himself. Batting again just brings an Indiia win into the calculation, which is why we're still batting now. Should still win, but poor captaincy in my opinion.
Just wasting time, what will it achieve adding 10 or more so runs except running the clock down to bowl them out
Why would we have handed India more than enough time to bat themselves in properly and chase down a winning score? Considering what this Indian team has just done in Australia?
