I never like Kris Boyd , mido or Kevin Thompson but the reason for that are pretty logical. I never liked Jonathan greening and there is no logical reason why.

Will they take the new ball ?

At the beginning of the innings I got 11/2 on England to win :-) Wish I had more than a fiver on it now.

This is a difficult pitch. Sideways movement and variable bounce. As a batsmen you know eventually you are going to get a ball you can do nothing about.

This is not going to be easy for the Indians.

The way the pitch is playing now, that bumrah ball nearly rolled along the ground. I think 250 would have been more than enough.

India in the box seat now. A couple of bonus wickets from nothing balls, root and smiths, have given them the edge. As long as they keep England down to less than 275 they should win.

I think smith was unlucky there. The bowler bowled a convention off spinner which didn't turn at all on the pitch then kept low.

You are generally right been not many matches recently at Lords plus the hot weather, but the pitch looks pretty quick and the ball is jagging about a bit. You would think with archer's extra 10k of pace he would be even more of a challenge. I thought the rough might come into it on day 5 but...

You should have a bet on it if you think that. Bookies have 353 as India's par score so 500 plus will be massive odds

Wood would have loved to bowl on this pitch.

England still in front but good comeback by india

Delibrate too so they can get KL to open. Umpires letting it happen

Wow that ball kept low.

The pitch is a lot drier than a month ago. I think the rough will play a part possibly from day 4 but probably on day 5.
