1st Test (Leeds) - 20th June

[Burgey]

Been crazy dry and hot for the last 3 months, very little rain since March. Gardens and golf courses are brown, talk of hosepipe bans.

Few things better than a dry fairway to give the false impression you’re long off the tee

Sounds like a normal summer of where I grew up.

if infia get 250-300 i'd say that is enough on this deck

with their bowling, unless Bumrah summons a storm, that would be very easy

 

[Molehill]

India could easily have lost 3 or 4 in that half hour, that they haven't means they're probably getting past the danger point.

 

[OverratedSanity]

These two are extracting plenty from this deck, doesn't look like easy going atm

Not sure why anyone would be hoping for rain at this point. A fresh Bumrah vs the English attack looking a bit undercooked (at least in the first innings) has set this game up fairly well for them. Seems more likely that England will be able to improve their side from here than India will.

Pant is about as much an artist as Charles Manson was

Reckon a 250 lead is probably matchwinning.

Fortunately there is a Durham CCC thread here on cricketweb.net/forums which will provide ball by ball commentary

@Molehill yous are getting it in here instead

All out for 361 so could be seeing Robinson/Archer opening the bowling very shortly. Unless NSW born Sandhu takes instead.

Pant saying to himself on the mic that he doesn't need to take a chance every ball... Calm down
