    India 419-6 at lunch, very much India's morning at it would have been even worse if Tongue hadn't got Jadeja shortly before lunch.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    564-7 at tea, another session dominated by India with the solitary wicket coming late on for Root who got one to really turn.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    India all out for 587, coulda been a lot worse.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    And it is now, Duckett out for a duck, 13-1.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Pope goes for a Golden Duck, nightmare.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Crawley gone, 25-3, we're in real trouble.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    77-3 at the close, a huge amount of work needed tomorrow.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Root goes, and a Golden Duck for Stokes, 84-5.

    I wonder how many times a captain and vice captain have been out with golden ducks in the same innings of a test.

    Ton up for Smith just before lunch, off just 80 balls. A fantastic come-back from he and Brook after the dreadful start this morning, 249-5 at lunch.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    And Brook reaches his 100 as well, having fallen on 99 in the last Test.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    355-5 at tea, so still 232 runs behind, but a magnificent performance by Brook and Smith.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Brook goes for 158, England trail by exactly 200, 387-6.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Woakes goes for just 5, 395-7, trail by 192.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Carse gone now for a duck, lbw on review 396-8.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Tongue goes for a duck, 407-9, with 5 ducks already.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    And Bashir makes it 6, 407 all out with Smith unbeaten on 186. Disappointing how we collapsed under the second new ball, but a fantastic recovery from 84-5.
  • SlackerSlacker
    That is one very weird looking scorecard.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    How poor are our bowlers compared to theirs. All our bowlers spent about 15 minutes at the crease between them but so far showing no threat at all.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    India close on 64-1, a lead of 244.
  • SlackerSlacker
    We’ll let ‘em get a 400 lead then tick it off in two sessions.
    Yup positive Slack is still here.😎
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    India 177-3 at lunch, a bad drop by Crawley giving the dangerous Pant a life.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    India heading to leave us a minimum target of about 500 at the rate they’re going and giving themselves 4 sessions to get us out.
    Why do we persist with short ball tactics when they just leisurely hammer them around.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Or 4 sessions for us to get them.
  • stevesteve
    500 in 4 sessions .Seems to me we should play for a draw ,Where's Geoff Boycott who can go days and only score 1 run
  • Giant_HammerGiant_Hammer
    I had a Boycott vindaloo last night. You get the runs but more slowly. =)
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    A weird game where we will need about 550 and our second innings consists of 6 players on potential pairs two of which on potential king pairs.
    I feel sorry for Jamie Smith who has been out in the field for almost the whole of this match so far.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    So they finally declare at 427-6, setting us 608 to win. I hope their overly consrvative declaration costs them when they run out of time needing just a wicket or two to win tomorrow evening.
  • SlackerSlacker
    Mmm 608 to win you say………….
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    Crawley gone for a duck. That’s 7 so far this match.
