England tour of India

[Arthur Crabtree]

I'd got used to living my life over the last few years without Nick Knight's commentary. Sometimes it's too easy to take the good things for granted.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Stroke of luck for England. They needed one.

[Durhamfootman]

Finally, the breakthrough

tad fortuitous, but they all count

he's done a little bit of research and is hell bent on making sure everyone knows it. Like a dog with a bone

Butch was saying earlier that Bess was a 'lucky' bowler, but not in a disparaging way, just that he had a knack for making the luck go his way. Well there you go.... as Chet Pujara has just found out

[Durhamfootman]

Smart work from capt Joe. Brings Leach back on to see if Pant still fancies taking him on now that he's lost his rock at the other end.

[Durhamfootman]

he does fancy it.

[Red Devil]

Yes, Bess is having an extraordinary run of luck

India will be gutted with that, really not getting the rub of the green in this match but just have to hang in there and hope the luck turns soon

Risbah Pant doesn't know what defence is.

Wasnt expecting this scoreline this morning

[Durhamfootman]

and Leach continues to go at 10 an over.

There might be a case here for honest Joe to turn his arm over for a couple of overs

I like Pant. It's the first time I've been able to have a look at him play. I liked his energy in the field for 2 days and I'm liking his approach here. Not being reckless either, he's picking his fights carefully

[Arthur Crabtree]

Gamble from Joe to keep Jack on. Probably the right choice given Pant might gamble too big. And Leach is getting something out of the surface.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Bit of a tired over from Bess.

[Durhamfootman]

honest Joe does come on

[Durhamfootman]

another full toss from Bess. He is tiring Arthur

Stokes?

[Durhamfootman]

Pant caught in the deep by.... Leach! that'll please him.... it could have been an easy ball to drop
