Root and Bairstow celebrating Yorkshire day with a century partnership.

What a shocking run out.

[meninblue]

Run out.

[sussexpob]

I wonder what odds you get on the average Root innings being 50-99...

[sussexpob]

Talking of odds. That 7-1 offered an hour ago has already halted. Betting against England is profitable.

Bairstow goes, England wobble

245/7. India taking control after the bad first session.

Jos Buttler should not be missing that ball. Shame he couldnt get anyone to drop him so he could make a score today.

[Arthur Crabtree]

245/7. India taking control after the bad first session.

Hard to know what's a good score though. It was touted as a good day to bowl first, so 300 might be England having a good day.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Very slow over rate. Must have been rain, surely.

Rashid goes on a review. Just A&B now so might be all out tonight.

No dear that isn't plumb in front.

If they are going to have women commentators they have to know the game, not use terminology that they've heard but don't understand.

Pitch has been on the slow side. If it flattens out it looks ripe for a big score
