Yeah, they were about 50 behind gong into tea with 6 down, so I was assuming 25-30 deficit if they got Pant early.

Sure. But the question is would you still have put England as the favorites?

Whatever it takes!!!
If it is possible to look clueless against someone after smashing them for six, Pope is doing that against Ash.

I'm guessing that the contents of said nappy were more attractive than England's latest batting display.

No I wouldn't, but neither did Tufnell in that particular quote.

If England had secured a 50 run lead and then cobbled together 200-ish in their second I think they'd be favourites, yeah.

We know what Tuffers is saying. But if you remove two men who made nearly 200 runs earlier in any innings there’s a fair chance you “might” be in a better position.

Morning all. Nice to see Pope battling hard.
Oh.
Oh.

Can't blame him for that one. I think we all want this to be over as quickly as possible, and he's probably got better things to do than watch England trying to bat.

Why does every new young England batsman look like the same gangly doofus. Even the names all blur into one.

It's a really shame we found those extra six runs in the first innings. Seven consecutive scores under 200 would have been something to treasure.
For some reason, I've found this series more annoying than the 4-0 outcome last time we were here. Maybe it's the hope after winning the first test. But I think it's more the incessant hopelessness of our batting in every single innings in the last three tests. iirc at least we managed to post some sort of score in the first innings four years ago.
