LOL no umpire should ever give that out live.

Ball tracking being altered aws by cheating indians

No wonder over rates are so crap, I had time to go to the toilet, make a sandwich and a cup of tea, and they were STILL waiting for DRS.

tony P made a **** sandwich in between his buns and peed in a cup which took him ~1.5mins

i've been holding off on my "root might be on the way to having a clarke in 2012 style year here" post for a while but it feels like it might be on the cards. he's always been capable of batting this well if he got the mental side sorted and... well, it looks like he's enjoyed the break

Ham/Salad with a nice piece of Chocolate Hazelnut Slice.

Kohli caught digging his nose then biting his nails on camera

Make Rahane the captain already

Given how many Tests he'll play this year (has 14 [15 if England get really lucky] more Tests to come) if he keeps this up the only question is how much does he break Yousuf's record by.

lol sundar apparently never looks up when he slog sweeps

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Bess has drained all of Leach's luck out of him. It's like the movie Intacto.

 

[Daemon]

Deep Dasgupta's commentary is pretty decent. He also just let in that he watched Buttler keep in SL which I guarantee none of the other commentators did.

 

[Shri]

eng run rate 3 an over after 190 overs

ind going at 3.5 an over

this is clearly how you win matches

 

[Gremlin]

Was about to comment on Buttler's keeping. Brilliant on the ball that bounced over the stumps and then byes. Can't blame him there with the massive spin and bounce Leach found. Encouraging stuff.

 

[Dissector]

So let's say India scores another 70 tomorrow and brings the deficit down to 250. What does England do? Enforce the follow on or bat and set a target of around 420 in four sessions ?

They may also get bowled out which might be best for England tbh

Run rate would be the deciding factor in case of draw
