England deserve to lose based on everything they've done since getting Pant out this morning......Woeful doesn't come close....
Surrender tamely, what a disappointing day & should never have been in this position, Root’s batting superb but his tactics this morning was appalling
Win toss and decide to bowl on day 1.......India finish on 276/3....
Good 2nd Day bowling India out for 364........88/7 on the day.......
Bat well rest of day 2 and 3 to establish a small lead.......
Restrict India to a lead of only 157 with just 4 wickets left at end of day 4....... England become favorites
Get Pant out early and they're only 182 ahead with 2 wickets in hand.......
England for some reason totally screw up the next hour and a half allowing 2 batsmen with test averages of 11 and 3 to bat England out the game and allow India to declare........ Where were the senior players to say to Root no don't do those tactics.......fecking nonsense.......
No wonder India had their tails up and their class seam attack blew England away........the game was their for the taking in the morning and England blew it big time, fecking shambles........
With India on front foot now and England in disarray I can't see how we can get back into the series.......hope they prove me wrong.......

Just got back.
Awful result, but a blinding day.
Lord's is my favourite place in the world.
Glad you had a great day, just a shame that England disappointed so badly. The atmosphere sounded more like a football match than cricket.
The atmosphere was brilliant, with almost as many India supporters as England.
Bizarre tactics from Root against their tail-enders and England's fragile batting meant that we didn't see the result we hoped for, but it was a great day nonetheless.
