***Official England in India***

Such a shame to see someone like MSP put in such effort but just not have the speed or the hands to stop what a better fielder would've stopped.

BTW, good effort from Cook but he was never catching that bar a minor miracle.

Interesting - you wouldn't have thought the losing a wicket through failing to appeal properly (or bad decision, whichever you read it as) when the batsman was James Anderson would be something that potentially cost you a Test, but Anderson's 80 (or best part of) deliveries that he lasted after that let-off might just turn-out to be a fairly considerable part in the victory, if England were to go on to win this.

Interesting, I wonder if we've misjudged this pitch. England, scoring at 2.45-an-over, got 316. India, so far scoring at 3.44-an-over, are 155 for 6 overnight. And in most Indian batsmen (Sehwag, Laxman, Tendulkar, Yuvraj) 's cases, and also Cook for England, wickets have been lost through expansive strokes.

It'll be interesting to see how things go for the rest of the match.
