Interesting stats followed by analysis by Cook during the break
1) Eng scored 500+ in the first inning of the first test .. since then the next 4 innings add up to about 500..

Cook chimes in that even in the successful series in SL, if you take Root's scores out, then there is not many players of spin the team

Archer not opening?

 

[Imurg]

Not out for me....

Not out for me....

Yeah, as much as I want it to be out

Poor from England players
No respect in football now showing signs in Cricket.
Looks like Rugby out on it’s own

Why only show the one angle? When the England player had a similar situation earlier they had three angles and the third umpire looked at all of them several times to make his decision. This time it was one look at one angle and overturn the decision.

when the match referee completely ignores Kohlis actions game in game out its not surprising other sides start to do so too, whats good for the goose......

doesnt make it right mind

that said not sure rugby can take that high ground much lately either

correct, nice for it to work for both sides too

The 3rd umpire had the duty to confirm all angles, just like he did earlier. Too quick on the trigger...but I thought it was not out too, based on that angle.

Kohli would have gone nuts if he was in the field. And got away with it.

And even on the one angle he used he didn't roll it on far enough for the part where it looked like it hit the ground. He stopped it on the frame where Stokes' hands hit the ground. Same as in the previous test where the batsmen was given not out LBW and the third umpire didn't roll it on far enough to see the ball then hit the glove and was caught. Even though that was what Root told the onfield umpire had happened.

Trying to repair the holes in the crease. It's day 1. Bowlers should not have to worry about injuring themselves in a hole on day 1. The repair won't last long.

Absolute joke.

Dodgy pitch, awful commentary.

England stubbornley not giving Leach an early bowl with the hard ball here, wouldnt want to admit your selection was wrong too early on

Lip reading Jimmy he doesn’t rate it either

 

[Imurg]

It's going quite well then....

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Well what a shocker

Going for 3 seamers and one spinner ?! Why

Bringing back Bairstow once again - it will always annoy me that people like him and Bopara get chance after chance yet players like Hildreath don’t even get one chance

Thankfully Crawley looks good

We certainly haven’t had much luck with the reviews and umpires call

Once again Kohli in the field ? a match referee needs to grow a set and look at his actions

The Stokes catch , it looked like it hit the ground but a quick look and then overturned yet 5 mins and every angle possible for the Leach one ?

 

[Imurg]

Mmm..interesting....

 

[Mudball]

What took them so long to get Archer and Leach in... Leach needs to do what Axar did.

Meanwhile Rohit playing a different match like Crawley.
