India tour of Eng, June 20 - Aug 4

[sussexpob]

Probably immaterial as Root just snagged Sundar....

Would be a shame if Gill was stuck out there under 300... come on lad, only 40 to go.

[sussexpob]

Bit embarrassing for Bashir.... he's gone for 150, Root comes on and snags Sundar with a good ball...

Root actually turning it more than Bashir.....

[Arthur Crabtree]

Happens a lot like that though. Bashir probably tired.

I suspect England would declare now.

[andy]

Gill gone for 269!

[sussexpob]

Career defining innings that... well done Shubman

[Arthur Crabtree]

Given it's a flat pitch, no one else made a ton, so his team owe him plenty.

Scorecard is a bit patchy otherwise.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Zero point in batting on.

[andy]

587 all out! Impressive score from India...dare not lose the game Ben stokes having put them in

[mikesiva]

India 587 all out

Gill 269
Jadeja 89
Jaiswal 87
Sundar 42

Bashir 3-167

[sussexpob]

Duckett by name, Duck by nature....

[sussexpob]

Ouf Pope gone... carnage. Deep on a hattrick

[andy]

25-3 wtf! I only stepped out for 10 minutes!

[Arthur Crabtree]

Pleased the third wicket wasn't Root. Look for the positives.

[sussexpob]

Never judge a pitch until both teams have batted, or if Bashir is bowling, I guess is the lesson ....

Siraj has scorched Root's outside edge, and Brook has survived on an umpires call that.... 11 overs left, could be 5 down by the close a this rate.

[Durhamfootman]

I saw a stat the other day that suggested that while Pope doesn't score anything like enough hundreds, when he does he scores dirty great big ones. If he carries on tomorrow and fills his boots like he did to win the India test a while ago, his next challenge will be to not spend the rest of this series making single figure scores

first ballers for the rest of the series now that his position is secure?
