The Indian batsmen do like playing their strokes. Some sublime instances today.

Apparently the last 6 tests at Headingley have been won by the team bowling first.

Yes I read that but it’s been 30 degrees today and it’s going to be hotter tomorrow then it’s going to cool down a bit. Can’t understand what Stokes was thinking fielding first.

Loving Pant having a swipe here. Awesome to watch

Overhead conditions are key this summer. Sunny makes batting easy. Cloudy brings the bowlers into the game. Was exactly the same at Lords last week

Bit of a fightback from England
But Pant is such a great player to watch

“A bit”? - 6 for 40 in 10 overs.

Such a shame that there was already 400 plus on the board
And Crawley gone now as well
Going to lose this test and will boil down to a poor choice at the toss

fairly well balaned at the mo.... India would be moaning about the dropped catches. Tomorrow morning with a fresh Bhoom, it will be interesting. But other than him, India lacks the abilty to take 20 wickets ..... Eng would be banking the 2 wins they can guarantee in the matches that Bhumra is not likely to play

Used to play under a captain who thought like this. He was an opening bat too, so if he ever chose to field, you knew it was a wrong 'un!
Ps. Nice going Popey!

And it’s the player that they were trying to drop Pope who had helped them claw back a bit
Tomorrow will be key as you say

Not saying this is going to be wrong but it seems a bit of an early definitive statement now.

Tomorrow morning will be key - especially with it forecast to be overcast
Sad to read this morning of the passing of Syd Lawrence from MND. An all action cricketer taken far too young at 61.

Looks like Eng is set for a lead…. And the ball is shooting up from a strange length. Looks like we will have Day 5 in this match

Awful news about Syd. A smashing bloke and gone far too soon.

Jofra Archer playing his first red ball game in over 4 years, will be good to see him in the wickets today. The current England attack is a bit powder puff at the moment so needs somone with a bit extra to put the hurry on the batsmen.

India would be looking to play the day today... or put whatever it can on the board beyond 400 with 10-12 overs to go
The challenge with Bazball Eng is that it can chase down a 400+ total on a dead pitch on Day 5
The challenge with Bazball Eng is that it will struggle to chase down a 150+ total on a dead pitch on Day 5

Having had the cricket on this afternoon whilst working, I know exactly where I want to stick that bloke's trumpet.
