    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    This whole innings, well other than the crap start, has been as textbook an example of batting to save a game as I can remember. They haven't just stonewalled everything. The RR is still close to 3. Perfect mix of caution and activity.

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    He's not boring though, that's just newbie fan frustration. He seems to always come in at these tricky times but he has more than a few strokes in his bag. Good hooking and cutting, elegant driver lofted or along the ground. And the most important bit, his temperament. He needs to be a permanent...

    Economical (no Pant to deal with, mind) but not much more.

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    Has to play else that, and you'd imagine there will be more such in the future, will be a huge asterisk next to his overall reckoning in the ATG stakes.

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    Jadeja generally has switched to a slightly more attacking gear this series (ignoring the strange batting in the second innings at Edgbaston and Lord's, both dictated by team orders and match situation). For a few years prior to this he seemed a little stuck tempo-wise but he seems to have...

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    Been off all Test really. He's a very vibey bowler. Has to ride a crest else can seem a bit flat.

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    Raza's been brilliant. Not just with his decision-making but has also intercepted at right times to nip gamesmanship in the bud. That's very rare from newer SC umps who seem overawed on the big stage.

    I hope both stay in for an hour and then actively go for their hundreds. Don't accept the handshakes.

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    Early days but Jaiswal shows Boycott-Mongia levels of promise as selfishness and entitlement go. I suspect we'll see him in a very different light ten years from now.

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    Eng can chase down 100 in less than 15 overs if need be. They won't mind this shotmaking.

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    First time in a while we can hold the bowlers roundly responsible for the situation we're in. It's usually been the batsmen who've been guilty of a lack of application but they've fought well enough in the last three innings.

    Carse looks likely against Sundar right now

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    Jadeja runs so effortlessly, whether between wickets or covering big yards in the outfield. Such a natural athlete, all liquid grace.
