Honestly if India were chasing 50+ you would be sweating

Who says I'm not already?

True, if Moeen was playing our bowling attack would be unplayable in these conditions

The rain won't save England here - at worst there's eight hours more play going to happen and that's plenty enough time to roll England for sub-200 and chase c. 80

It has begun.

Crawley averaging 11.14 in 2021; only Leach and Anderson are worse (who have batted in 10 innings).

Feel like we have to give Crawley a break now. He's clearly shot mentally and is just getting worse and worse. Bordering on cruel to keep picking him at this point.

I thank the heavens that Mo isn't in the team. He would have wrecked havoc with his nifty off breaks.

Somehow I feel it's gonna be 250ish from England. The deficit is down to 10 runs ans Root is looking sublime. 100+ is more than enough to roll us over.

obvious comment of the day: this stand is crucial to England’s chances, have to get 150+ ahead to even a remote chance of winning

and then I woke up

I don't know how relevant this is, how it compares with other batsman or if it's good or bad but exactly half of his test innings he's failed to get double figures.

Good review from the English Pujara.

Outstanding Dentury from Sibbo

 

[wasteyouryouth]

Jason Roy playing well tonight. Maybe we should give him another run as test opener.

As above, but test number 3.

That 72 was a horrible horrible innings. You know when someone gets runs but in so doing spend long enough at the crease to show that they really shouldn't be kept around
