Bumrah again and Bairstow is on his bike.

England now relying on another Stokes recovery mission with the lower order.

Whatever it takes!!!
We are so dependent on one man as a bowling unit. We ****ing suck. :( England must be kicking themselves coz all they have to do is play out one bowler here and there are big runs for the taking.

Maybe just 1 more over for Bumrah here. :(

That was God level from Bumrah but he is already got some cramps in his bowling arm. Axar has looked listless inspite of being gifted a wicket. Kuldeep has been ok but nothing great, odd good deliveries notwithstanding. Ash started well but was well off his game in the last 2 or 3 overs he bowled. Mukesh might as well not be there (has a chance against Bairstow to get him LBW but somehow has this genius idea that bowling short wide filth at 130 will work here). This is gonna be a tonking. England 450/4 at stumps.

You're supposed to be subtle about it or it's just jumping the shark.

I knew we'd lose this test. We're gonna lose the next 3 as well. We're doomed.

Also, the point about Shreyas' back interfering with his batting is interesting. He certainly does not look as mobile as he used to, on the field and as a batsman. I dunno how much it is restricting or impairing his ability to play off the front foot against the spinners, his ability to stretch and get into positions for the big shots. The short ball is one thing. But if he cannot be good against spin at home, and is a bit of a liability on the field, he should really not be in the team.

Foakes not looking too convincing against Bumrah but at least he survived that over.

He doesn't survive that over against Kuldeep though.
