Yeah, all predictions premature at this stage. The new ball's reversing inside thirty overs. All it takes is one high quality spell from Bumrah/Ishant to bring India to parity again. Missing Siraj though. Our seamers have well and truly eclipsed the spin department, irrespective of conditions.

... If he scores 22 more runs the following day it'll be the 3rd time in a row in tests he reached at least '3 50's in an innings'

I know... imagine getting Pujara and Kohli out for low scores and conceding over 700 runs!

Seriously, such a massive breath of fresh air in one respect but also infuriating in another.

I don't want India to get fisted at home. Please guys, launch a comeback while I sleep tonight!

I'm praying for 350 a/o followed by Rohit and Gill centuries. But even an innings defeat is on the cards here so I'm very worried.

Nah there's absolutely no chance of that with us batting first. There's no scenario in which we don't bat again.

I had a dream that Ganguly took five wickets so my mind is not constrained with what is and isn't possible.
To be clear, I meant an innings defeat for India is on the cards. Conscious my phrasing was unclear.

It also makes sense to put opposition in backfoot for the rest of the series by making them bowl in 2nd innings as well.
Then again, India B and India C comes into picture

Likewise. Mind you, I have no recollection at all of the guy who scored 300 against us in that match. Turns out he only played six test matches; so either he really pissed off Kohli at some point, or the Indian selectors really didn't rate that England attack.
Never seen Root bat badly against Anderson so don't understand the comparison

My eldest was born not long before that series and one of my early memories of parenthood is listening to the cricket on the radio during the night while I was up with my son. I remember the awful inevitability of the Nair triple and the J Yadav centuries, but I too had totally repressed the memory of Jake Ball.

Well done Root and Sibley. Hopefully England can score 600 and keep NZ at no 1 a bit longer. Is there still a mace and $1mn prizemoney for the team who is number 1 come April?
