Just poor to create two wickets like that
Doesn’t do much for the sport

The self entitlement of the Indian cricket team at times is astounding
Its clear its bad light and they take a reading so bad light stops play - so what do they do - they surround the umpires

Wonder what Tom Banton has done wrong
Next test also will be interesting

Livingstone shouldn't be in the team, never mind captain. Far too inconsistent to be international quality.

Agree entirely. Too much of a swagger and no experience. He is from 8 miles from where I live and is not too popular. He joined out Golf Club during COVID but never saw him there.
Overrated in my opinion and is a success with the bat around 20% of the time.

So we have a Poundland Peiterson…

Nothing like KP . KP’s swagger was justified as he usually performed with the bat, Livingstone rarely does

KP was like a lot of top sportspeople. Had the swagger as he had an inner belief he had the ability to back it. I'd say a lot of the time he was right too

Selection for England has gotten very strange of late. Buttler out, so Michael Pepper comes in.
I'd wager if you had asked 100 people who watched a decent amount of county cricket to name a wicketkeeper/batsman for the ODI squad, all Family Fortunes style, Pepper would have got the big nah-nah (unless one of his close relatives had miraculously been polled). Banton, Rew, Robinson, Cox, Kohler-Cadmore, Joe Clarke...even without going back to Bairstow, Foakes, Billings there are a lot of more credible options.

Very useful innings from Smith
If that can keep inching their way closer to 300 then that’s a very good score on this wicket

If we can get a healthy lead it could be a famous series win although with the way we collapsed last time.........
