India tour of Eng, June 20 - Aug 4

[sussexpob]

England won't like seeing that jadeja ball turning at right angles

[sussexpob]

India trying to hide some part-timer overs at the moment before the new ball. Got to break this last specialist partnership, should really have Bumrah steaming in.

[sussexpob]

Smith goes just as India about to get the new ball. Lower order in now, Brook might want to have a whack

[Arthur Crabtree]

Woakes is more or less a batter. Maybe try and build a partnership.

[sussexpob]

Brook out for 99....crazy way to get out

[Arthur Crabtree]

Seems he was badly dropped on 82... plus that no ball dismissal last night. So maybe he'll be happy with the 99.

[Arthur Crabtree]

India well ahead in the game. England need a decent lead to be level.

Expect the tail will give it some biff.

Dropped on 56 by Pant too.

I suppose if you play like Brook does, you can hardly complain if you hole out.

[Durhamfootman]

Woakes and Carse have got England to within 30 of India

[Durhamfootman]

I don't know if Tongue can bat. I presume that Bashir can't, so it might have to be these two who get England to parity

[Arthur Crabtree]

Really useful effort from Woakes.

Hopefully I haven't cursed him...

Tongue has one more fc 50 than Carse. That is, he has one.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Woakes/Carse 50 partnership.

[sussexpob]

Going to be about even this.... Test match finely poised. India will want 350 ish

[Durhamfootman]

both out now. Woakes on the stroke of tea

I don't know if Bashir has to come out for one ball or whether India will have to wait
