Not really a cricket buff but does anyone else think that Jasprit's bowling action is very close to throwing?

Actually, I think his action is exactly the opposite. He straightens his arm very early and turns it over in one huge arc. Very unusual but extremely effective.

Massive come down for Leach, he got destroyed
by Pant.

Bumrah did the same to Broad!! What was that over?

Looks like but it is not .. he has an unusual limbs that hyperextends … so his arm goes back a fair bit and his wrists cracks a bit later.. gets a 90m delivery by just walking up rather than having to steam in.

Saw him from the side stands at Lords. It looks even worse in real life than TV

Close your eyes and swing batting, not sure anything went anywhere close to where he was aiming....

Only the result goes in the scorebook not the workings.

First real test for new English approach. I don’t mind if they crash and burn.. one loss won’t make the summer. But I would like to see some fight.

I've played in a pro-am with Goughy. I think he needs a little self-reflection and I'm fairly confident he owns a few mirrors.

I was thinking exactly the same. He’s not beyond being a tad self-obsessed either.

How Sky Sports can employ the likes of Pietersen when Bumble was “allowed” to move on is beyond me. Awful commentary.

Brainless from stokes.

There is a difference between positive cricket and how stokes has batted recently. The way bairstow is going about it is way better than the way stokes is going about it at the moment.

Watching Kohli is like watching tiger in a competition… never a quiet/dull moment … you could have a Kohli-cam and make some money

Anything under 300 for Eng to chase on Day 5 is fair game. I am assuming that india would want to bat as long as possible tomorrow…

Had tickets for Day 4.. but work has gotten in the way now. If rain does not play spoil sport then it will be cracking finish
