Yes Alfie, Rashid is bowling with some confidence and is making the batsmen think, the ability to turn the ball both ways is a real advantage. Patience is the byword for the England bowlers.

Wonder what the recent record is for the number of centurions in a test match, this one looks to promise quite a few.

Oh blimey ...going over the top. Fair enough. There is some bounce here ; looked out live but when I saw the slowmo I feared the worst...

wow surprised england are 13.00, india 6.00 and draw 1.22.
Tempting to back England here.
india look short at the moment, would only price them 6.00 when they actually reach 350-400 etc, still trailing by 300 runs and 100 runs to avoid follow on.

India look like they could get a lead on the first innings. England are going to be in the field for at least 2 days at this rate.

Could be a tough last day batting for England..........

Yes that is the way it looks right at the moment. But although these two have played really well , they have had one or two moments of good fortune : it is not impossible that one wicket might bring three or four - and then we have a whole different game. And of course we do not know how this surface is going to change over the next day or two : if anything I'd have said it has played a bit easier (slower , mainly) today. Will it become a minefield on day five ? We are guessing , really.

I think it is still too early to make any strong predictions.

Having 6 bowling options is necessary if the team do spend a long time in the field with so much cricket in so short a time. It's one thing to talk of rotation but that's only an option if every bowler is playing well.

What a nonsense review, so they had a free one but it looks ridiculous to review a delivery hitting the middle of the bat.

Renewed in two balls...

Suppose Bairstow imagined it might have hit his foot first ...or maybe he just wanted to upset Vijay's concentration ?
