what's wrong with the pitch? not enough subcontinental turn for your liking? india can't open the bowling with spin is that the issue?

Damn, triggered

Balls not moving. I like it when balls move

You must have loved cricket in Aus then pre 4 years ago.

This is annoying, there's so much rain around it's going keep putting down light showers which are gonna stop us getting back on. Could be in for a lengthy, frustrating delay here

They're gonna come back and go apeshit. Don't need many more than 25 overs to get these runs. Does the weather allow for those many at least?

You say this as if it wouldn't be a massive improvement.

 

[Johan]

pitch is overall fine, batting friendly yes, if people could take catches both teams would be bowled out fairly quickly. You guys have just grown accustomed to 3 day lottery pitches

 

[Adders]

Im failing to see how a day 5 wicket in the 2nd session with all 3 results on the the table can be considered bad?

 

[RightArmMystery]

Bloody hell, the umpires using common sense and we're just gonna get on with the game

Surely India winning from here (or from lunch) is of the table?

Cheating umpires

Plenty of big chases start off strong but don't get there. I mean I'm totally backing England here but its still 190 runs on day 5.........this isnt a done deal just yet.

if any team can win chasing 371 on day 5 against Bumrah and Jadeja, it's England

If any team can lose with less than 190 runs left on day 5 with 10 wickets at hand and batting until 9, it's England.

love it when Test matches end in 3 days and 1 session

you're acting like we all haven't had a clue who is going to win for the entirety of this test. if anything, surely this is a pitch to be commended for offering such equilibrium throughout

 

[RightArmMystery]

Starting after the break with Krishna is quite a choice

 

[Johan]

Smh Crawley

 

[GIMH]

ffs

 

[RightArmMystery]

Starting after the break with Krishna is quite a choice

And the correct one. Amazing

 

[slowfinger]

that's all they had to bowl to him the whole time haha

It's done anyway. The only positive is we're not losing this by 10 wickets
