Amazing how runs can start to flow once you knuckle down and see tough periods out.

Good running though. The 1s and 3s are the essential shots in test cricket as Bobby Simpson said.

Mr. Glass
135 run lead by close today and another 200 by tea tomorrow will make this test pretty great. I bet Au will fold under scoreboard pressure on day 5.

What's with Langer acting like a right little whiner these days? Just read about the 3rd article in the week about him whinging about something.

Edit: Jeez that was some shot... India in a nice position here.

He's got a good repertoire does KL, think the commentators were onto something when they mentioned he's a work in progress in so far as his approach to test match batting

Great start, this. Couple of very iffy slogs by Rahul a few overs back but apart from that it's been very disciplined with some good attacking shots.

Some ***y shots but Rahul is also getting pretty loose now (see 2nd ball v Cummins that he would've harmlessly left early in the innings). Seems to only have 2 gears.

Can't see that, Australian cricket aren't quite that fickle, even if they did lose. That sort of volatility is reversed for Pakistan's cricket board.

That said, Langer would do himself and the team a favour if he concentrated more on the on-field stuff, rather than worrying about Kohli. If he thinks such comments would faze Kohli, he doesn't know him very well.

Perhaps giving lip is so ingrained, he just can't help himself.

They might sense blood a little bit here too, they're 70 ahead suddenly, that can quickly blow out by stumps and they're position will be impregnable should they maintain wickets in hand, the psychological impact of the game getting away quickly is powerful

So is Payne just babysitting the captaincy until Smith returns? If so, is he likely to make the side at all as keeper if he's not skipper?
