The one time you want a no ball to be called…

heihachimishima · 2021-08-14T17:39:47.103Z

another maximum
is that four or five this year?

I’m pretending that 180 is a score people care about

JohnM · 2021-08-14T18:00:26.160Z

JohnM:

Ooof, the ball’s zipping about all over the place today. I reckon England will be rolled for about 120 when they bat

BobRickerton:

We’ve got a real chance of overhauling this Indian total over two innings I reckon

HobbesWhenHeWasNew:

This is the point where a country with a batting line up that wasn’t tissue paper would be thinking about when the lead would be wiped out.

For this England I’m still wary about assuming we’ll get within 100

Good work everyone

Dom Sibley ultra.

First single off the new Half Man Half Biscuit album vibes here, ngl.

Aggpass · 2021-08-15T11:02:09.016Z

Obviously these two will put on 200, but this has been a very good fightback from the end of day 1

Jimmy and Kohli chirping at each other

Acorn · 2021-08-15T11:41:30.907Z

you’ve got to think Kohli will get going sooner or later

…am I doing this right?

maggieloveshopey · 2021-08-15T11:43:16.688Z

He’s definitely due a big score AND the Indian tail is going to wag sooner or later

Acorn · 2021-08-15T11:44:36.696Z

I mean, I’m sure you’d be right if Pujara wasn’t going to bat all day

well, they can always wag tomorrow!

Aggpass · 2021-08-15T11:51:33.546Z

Pujara will get single figures or a century.

Aggpass · 2021-08-15T11:53:06.029Z

Excellent work mate

The_Excession · 2021-08-15T11:55:01.536Z

Big wicket. Kohli really does seems to have a weakness nicking balls he could leave at the moment, long may it continue.

Acorn · 2021-08-15T11:55:29.824Z

Sam Curran just ran to congratulate me

GrandMoffTarkin · 2021-08-15T12:02:43.942Z

Bumble saying that Robinson lbw appeal was an EXCELLENT DECISION. It was clipping leg stump mate. Fair decision, maybe.

JohnM · 2021-08-15T12:04:16.415Z

Proper Test batting from Pujara this

HobbesWhenHeWasNew · 2021-08-15T13:18:50.120Z

Got to have a look at Mo sooner or later.

Scagden · 2021-08-15T13:56:59.104Z

JohnM:

Proper Sibley batting from Pujara this

Ftfy

Scagden · 2021-08-15T13:59:59.963Z

Anyone think bairstow wants to remind us all he’s a keeper? He’s got a helmet on at second slip.

Avery · 2021-08-15T14:12:49.352Z

They were saying he was standing in front of the keeper the other day, rather than level with him. Wouldn’t jave surprised me if he just went and stood directly in front of Butters, tbh.

wikihock · 2021-08-15T14:49:25.878Z

Bairstow strikes me as someone who would be quite happy sitting at home staring at a wall, for some reason. Just staring at it.
