Move over Boom… Siraj is my new fav Indian bowler… Young, (lot of) fire, a character… and an excellent bowler. The Moen wicket was unplayable. Curren was just being Curran. Not frazed by standing up to a much taller Robinson

This is going for a draw unless another harakiri

The stare down after that ball that leapt into Robinson’s chest was quality. I wish cricket could get back to the good old days of a bit of sledging. Too sanitised now!

It's been awful and brilliant to watch. England lost their heads this morning, trying to bounce out the tail with no real plan.
As someone said earlier on the thread, Root is so far ahead of the rest of them, it's embarrassing.

Does Kohli ever spend a full day on the field?

(Unpopular opinion).. he is a result of the IPL. Son of a Tuk-Tuk driver who never had any coaching as a kid. He was found by an IPL team and has made the transition to Test.

I am assuming @fundy wont argue if Eng is offered lights and they run off ?

Not at all, but we'll wait to be offered rather than trying to leave the field first (not that its happening tonight, theyll play all the overs)

6.30, get em off
Would love it if Jimmy held them off
Kohli as unbearable as the likes of Smith

Nope - the 9th wicket partnership they had was the game changer as well as getting involved in all the stuff with Bumrah. Let’s hope there is some grace in victory now

Excellent result in terms of keeping the series wide open for a neutral. Not that I’m even slightly neutral here. #ABE

Kohli is worse than Smith and Warner combined......

Great test match. Eng were favourites today but had an awful day. The fragile batting was highlighted again today.
Credit to India, they fought back superbly. Love a bit of needle on the field.

What a great exhibition of a test cricket. Had everything in it
Too many highlights Rahul for his masterclass century. Shami for his morning blast and 4 wickets. Rahane for a class rear guard. Siraj for his 8 wicket .Root for shouldering batting responsibility of entire team. Jimmy yet again.
Also the big names not firing .. Kohli, pant, Burns, Butler, bairstow.

He’s not a Test match cricketer. He’s just not.

Unfortunately he's not alone in this England team.
Can't really blame a bowling all rounder for the team's batting failure.
