England v. India Test Series

[Donny]

England still trails by 21 runs.

[Donny]

8/357. 7 behind - not that that means a lot, as no first innings points are earned.

However, if Curran and/or Robinson had hung around - both have decent first class stats - and supported Root, India could've been facing a significant deficit.

[Donny]

8/358. Root 160*.

[K]

Run outs should be very rare in Test cricket.

They are incompetent.

[K]

Why so many no balls from Bumrah?

It's not deliberate, is it??

Fantastic cricket.

Wood, bowling in the mid 90s (MPH), drops one short. Rohit hooks it for 6. Wonderful shot.

Wood tries again. Rohit winds up to hook again. Too quick.

Tries again. Rohit hooks. Superb catch by Moeen, at deep backward square.
