Cricket

I’m not a betting man mate but I do know strange things happen in sport and it was a two horse race

Well 3 including the draw. When we beat Australia at Headingley in 1981 we were 500/1.

Wish I could have seen both those test matches.

Hardly seen any cricket since I moved to Spain 30 years ago.

In my mind's eye, I can still see those wonderful West Indies team from the late 70s and through the eighties

I think we are all still quite romantic about Windies cricket and would a renaissance

5 spinners potentially for the next test? Agnew will be crying man baby tears over that.

2 changes for England tomorrow

Anderson for Wood and Bashir on debut for Leach who is injured. Still looks like the 3 spinner, one seam bowler, plus Root combination.

Ohhhhh Jimmy Jimmy

Much tougher day in the field. Looks a far better wicket to bat

I always worry about us on flat pitches as we lack patience and tend to get ourselves out. Need a patient double hundred from Stokes or Root

Not necessarily a double hundred, but going to need a couple of big contributions with the bat. And going to need to bat a lot of overs as well. If England can bat 100 overs, they will get 400

Rehan deserved that, has beaten the bat on a day flat track. They've all applied themselves pretty well and without getting loads of luck I think this score is as much as you could hope for losing the toss here

 

[arch stanton]

England are still in this, good display from both teams, India just edging it for me

Yeah agree, if they’d have got Jaiswal out it would have been a great day for England. Honours even but always worried about batting last in this track.

Cleaned then up sharpish today. Good start to the England innings, but Bumrah (the ever living) is bowling brilliantly and got two big wickets.

 

[Mrbluenose]

Root fails to deliver again.

A good batsman, but not a great.

1-1 coming up
