Good for him. He's still going to need a surgeon with an advanced medical qualification to extract it from where I'm going to put it.

I put some money on India to win at 5/4 this morning, thought t( odds were quite good. They’re still ok but it may well be quite tense tomorrow.

Been a solid start so far - Crawley getting over the ball a bit more with a straight bat
And Mel Jones is a very good commentator - as are all the lady commentators in cricket - not sure why they get it so right where as others seem to get it very wrong

Whilst I would wholeheartedly agree that Mel Jones is an excellent commentator I do not consider all of the females to be a match for her.
Particularly on the radio, where there are two women I would be happy to never hear commentate again, but also sometimes on Sky TV.
On the latter some commentators of both genders would do well to remember that if they cannot add anything to the picture it would be better to say nothing.

Definitely an acquired taste.
I find it boring and repetitive, certainly not very tuneful.

Superb knock from Duckett

I would like to see a lot more consistency first before putting a 'Best' tag on him. Too many sub 20 scores in Tests, and apart from last ODI against WI, he hasn't been that prolific in white ball games either.
That said, great knock today, just hope the weather plays ball and it isn't in vain.

Did anyone see the news article about the young boy who is blind but is a massive cricket fan and follows it on Test Match Special. Brought a tear to my eye.

Going to be a heck of a last session
Sensible batting to get them a platform then it should be enough

Compelling viewing… What a fantastic chase this would be.
Only negative, half empty Headingley…

Why didn’t someone at least go for that catch
Stokes was always going to get out like that this innings. Been a few close calls before that.

Was just thinking about this. Been listening to TMS on 5L all afternoon. The female commentators have been the highlight.
The worst commentators I've heard on the radio have been male ex-England captains.

Re-reading the posts from Friday, good to see the usual stuff and nonsense.
..I often post on here, say nothing till both sides have batted.
Awesome performance. What a Team!

Stunning. Who still thinks Test cricket is dull? Not when England are playing, that’s for sure. Not so many years ago we would have made absolutely no effort to chase that sort of total down in the opening match of a series, if at all.
