EEk, that doesn't look good for Leach, Root to be our only hope with the bowling, as he's been with the batting so often.

Hartley can bat can't he?

oh and the bollox from HB about this Pope innings not proving he can play spin, is just laughable, it's one of the great innings by an Englishman in India I've ever seen, if he doesn't make a double I'll be gutted, yeah it's not quickly jagging all the time, but there's been constant turn and indifferent bounce. I was indifferent on Pope before this innings, thought he'd improved for us and did okay at 3, but this is different gravy.

Relax.. I said it doesn't mean he is suddenly great against spin. And its obvious the pitch is very slow and there has been zero indifferent bounce since I have been watching this morning. Its just keeping low consistently and very slowly at that.

Gotta say the Pope innings is very much in the KP 2012 levels now surpassing Steve Smith's efforts after the first test in 2017.

Probably need 250 lead minimum seeing how easily Hartley has played here. It is definitely not breaking up or getting more difficult like we expected it would given what it did on day 1.
