Only the 7th England player to get on both honours boards at Lords. Brilliant stuff, and well done England for scoring at a decent rate despite the appalling over rate.
I don’t think the forecast is as bad as they first thought ? If we do get some play , must put them in surely ?
England bat on... A bit baffling but Bairstow says they have to take advantage of the conditions. Personally I am a bit concerned at the lack of balls from Joe Root.
England declare at 396-7, a first innings lead of 289. If they don’t win from here it will be astonishing.
By an innings and 159 runs, effectively within 3 days, as we lost the first day completely. India really only have Kohli to stand against England’s bowlers, whereas England bat all the way down to Curran at 8.
Ben Stokes and his co-defendant found not guilty of affray. Not sure how I feel about this....hope it isn't because of who he is. Perhaps they should have gone for the lesser charge of GBH.
