Whatever it takes!!!
Seems Duckett was also caught on camera telling Akashdeep he cant get him out. I kinda understand the send off now but still think it could have been done better coz it just looked bad.

Good from Pope. No cause for gifting charity runs bowling spin just to stay out there for a while longer.

Ouch, Dire Straits, and images from that tribute to Thorpe, what a class way to end the day's coverage by Sky

Well one down would be advantage India but 50/2 means game exactly even. It'll depend on how the pitch is acting tomorrow.

Weather seems set fair for tomorrow, but as Broad mentioned on comms, day 3 has been the trickiest day for batting, that third innings is always awkward too

Looks like you were right.
I don't really know why they put the graphic on tv if it's not actually the timer the umpire is using mind.

TBF the implied context was "You can't get me out unless I reverse ramp an outswinger straight to the keeper for some reason."
Which proved to be true.

1-2 seconds here or there doesn't really matter. It's not an exact thing. The start of the countdown is a subjective matter. Umpires start at their convenience. It is important to remember, the timer was only brought in, so that teams didn't have time to get external help (eg from dressing room).
Ultimately the most important thing is to get a correct decision in the end.

The last bit your logic ain't really sound. As then why only have 3 reviews if it's as you say.
It's not an issue anyway as it was reviewed within the 10 secs.

We finally get a traditional Bazball innings from England:
- blast out of the gate
- momentum held for a while
- collapse and barely scrape past the opposition's score.
*Amended for accuracy - further point added*
- English fans then try to gaslight* us by insisting this pattern is all in our heads, and we've never really actually seen it before.
* By gaslight I actually mean they say something that is probably true because they said 'rarely happens' and not 'doesn't happen'.
It truly is a thing of beauty.
