India should've declared half an hour ago. England aren't getting half of this. Man England are a poor side atm.

Shammiiiiiiii. Belted that like he did his ex-wife.

imagine being part of the bowling attack against whom Shami scores the only two FC 50s of his entire career. Anderson and Moeen don't have to imagine, they were there.

He's being as much of a pest against this England attack as he is on Twitter and Instagram.

What a great hour!

Especially sweet after all the rat****ery by Curran with the tail the last time we toured England.

No way England are going for it.

Williamson dangled a bit of a carrot in the first test this summer (273 at less than 4rpo) and we never once looked like anything other than survival was on our minds.

This has obviously been a bit of a shambles, but reading Guardian OBO this morning - have they in their excitement just forgotten how test cricket works? Apparently because of the amount of runs they’ve scored they are “hot favourites” to go one up in the series?
I know England’s batting is shaky, but surely there should be a reasonable amount of confidence in being able to hold out for the draw?

I dont like the macho nonsense tbh. Call me a ***** but excessive bouncers to tailenders aint cool. Not when the aussies did it to natarjan, not when bumrah did it to anderson and not here.

Spicy viewing though undoubtedly, until someone breaks a hand.

You gotta admit though, it's made the entire rest of the series 500% spicier now.

India also haven't been great though have they? gave up a first innings lead to a team with one batsman.

I think that's more a tribute to Root than it is a slight on India. The rest of England batting lineup is averaging 19 this series.

No it's a slight on India's batting. How did they not get to even 400 after the start they had?
