You want your number 8 to be able to hold a bat, but realistically, none of 8-11 are in the team for their batting

You wouldn’t dock points in the Premier League for red cards, make the punishments matter to the game at hand

We're not getting that extra Bumrah over

don’t know nor care about what happens in the premier league. But here, they should find what hurts the most. In many match situations where you’re time wasting, five run penalty is pointless.

Why are we ending at 18:30 it's a ****ing joke how regimented it is in England.
Could have started at 10:30 and play until after 7 to make up lost overs from yesterday and a full 90 today.

With England pulling a few tricks to avoid another over of Bumrah, I wouldn’t have complained had the umpires called their bluff!

Nah I don't want them to face Bumrah anymore

Can’t wait for you to crow when England draw 9 down in a heavily rain-affected 5th day!

The summer solstice just happened at weekend.
Light is absolutely fine they should be still playing already 45 overs down on our full compliment of over in the test.
Shouldn't have called stumps yesterday either. Stopped raining pretty much immediately.
I'd say India are just ahead at the moment, but the door is slightly ajar for England due to the lead being less than 400 at the start of ENG's 2nd innings. A lot will depend on how conditions play out on Day 5. Bumrah will need more support from Siraj, Prasidh, and to some extent Thakur. Would like to see Jadeja get more overs too. It seemed to spin a bit for Bashir earlier.

They’re going to look very silly if there’s any rain delay tomorrow

There was absolutely zero reason not to start at 10:30 today to make up time.
Just bloody red tape and tradition instead of common sense and playing cricket.
Deprives fans of more action, game would be further along if we'd had them extra 45 overs.
Instead of cricket we're all gonna be watching the weather forecast tomorrow.

Whatever it takes!!!
Great day 5 set up here.

Bumrah has now bowled 28 overs in the match, if England can see him off it’s hard to see where the other threats are. I also expect it to finish before there’s any chance of a 2nd new ball. Fascinatingly set up, let’s hope the weather plays ball…
