India v England - 3rd Test

[On The Bob]

Couldn’t see the usual Test match thread.

India have made 4 changes.

England replace Bashir with Wood.

India 34-3 after the first hour. Wood 2 / Hartley 1.

Great start!

 

[Mwelolo]

Yes, excellent start.

India finding their feet a bit now.

Time for another wicket.

 

[On The Bob]

Root dropped Rohit on 27 too. That could have been killer. Lots of inexperience to come after these two.

Just need to break the partnership after lunch. Decent morning.

 

[Mwelolo]

Really need a wicket.

 

[Zoophonic]

England will start their innings when they eventually get in at 5-0 as India have been penalised for repeatedly running down the middle of the wicket.

5 is a meagre penalty. Should be at least 25.

 

[Norman_Conquest]

445 is not a bad score to post after being 33 - 3.

 

[Abel Tasman]

India all out for 445 - a lead of 440 is probably a winning one

 

[Norman_Conquest]

This is a big session and we need to bat sensibly.

 

[Pak_Doo_Ik]

6-0 and not a ball faced

 

[Norman_Conquest]

Duckett scoring freely and reached 50 from 39 balls with 11 boundaries.

63 - 0

 

[Marvanelli]

Amazing how Ashwin has only bowled 1 over so far.

What are India doing.

 

[Marvanelli]

And poof....by magic we're 1 down already

 

[Norman_Conquest]

Amazing how Ashwin has only bowled 1 over so far.

What are India doing.

Keep your mouth shut you.

 

[Marvanelli]

We're lucky India have been idiots so far to be fair.

Only got the text commentary on but looks like a cracking start with the bat. Giving ourselves a good chance

Duckett was batting well whilst I was watching.

 

[Pak_Doo_Ik]

I’ve been following text, are the TMS team in a box somewhere watching it? It’s like Soccer Saturday with no sound or picture just comments every now and again???

 

[Norman_Conquest]

There was a time when it would have taken England a full session to score 100 runs in a Test Innings. Duckett's reached his 100 in 88 balls.

It's amazing fastest English century ever against India

 

[Abel Tasman]

Watching Root bat is really painful these days. I think it’s only a matter of time before he departs.
