That looked ok ... 286-8 less so!

Can't see us winning this, but it's been a good match, all the more exciting for having seen some of it in the flesh. N barely missed a minute over the weekend

Yes, been a good contest this one, might see if I can nab a Headingley ticket, agree its better to see a day or two there.

England now playing for a draw, I guess.

I would think so, England will think a draw a result, and India will see it as a missed opportunity.

 

[Bonefish Blues]

Whatever the result, a cracking Test.

They might get it, if "Extras" keeps this up: 14 off just 10 overs so far

 

[jowwy]

they need nearly 5 an over to get the win.....lets see were they are come tea

... wish Stokes was in with Root.

We should put Extra in as an opener.

Apparently the first time ever in a home test that both England openers have been dismissed for 0.

And another Andy Z one:

This is the third time this year England's top three have been dismissed for less than 10. Before this year it had not happened since 2008.

Aren't we on for some sort of record for the most noughts in a summer or something like that? I'm sure I heard them wittering on about that on the radio a while ago.

Already passed that mark of shame...

Oh dear.

Well, I suppose we could try to be positive and look at it that we have a record breaking England team at the moment..
