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

**** me that was a beauty

I can see England making almost 600 at the moment. I had a feeling there would be one test where India will be outplayed completely. IND are only good on paper. In practice, they're bang average

If Root gets 100 then definitely. Has 1 x 100 and 7 x 50 at OT

Not one over to the guy who picked up 4 wickets in the last Test.

Kamboj gets good bounce so I can kinda see what he’s about, but I can’t remember seeing a less accurate spell from a test medium pacer.

He's been pretty accurate in his second spell tbf

IPL guns are so rigged. Kamboj bowls late 130s in those games. He's slower than Jimmy Anderson here lol

 

[slowfinger]

does Pope have to fall over every time he plays a shot?

He reminds me of past Indian seamers ie medium pace trundlers

 

[slowfinger]

77 overs bowled today? is that it?

 

[Ju7]

England's day no doubt after the first session.

 

[SkyBlue]

Very one-sided test match

Looks like the next few days is going to be extremely boring viewing unless you're an England fan

 

[Johan]

India still firm favourites, England need atleast 600 runs to be in the game since they are batting last and they have good spinners, I say it's about 90-10 in favour of India.

Bowlers bowl a lot quicker in t20 than in Tests

Man, the worst day of the series so far and such a bad time to have it. Our bowling sucked and we paid the price. Can only hope for some cloudy conditions tomorrow and a far better bowling performance.

Looked cloudy today but it didn't make any difference until late on

I'd still like a big lead, we're a way off that yet tbf

Spinners so good that they're hiding them from us!

If only NK Reddy was fit for India...

I presume this is very much tongue in cheek? Can’t imagine the pitch deteriorating sufficiently to worry England too much about batting last, but who knows.

Really good day for England, hope Root can get himself in tomorrow and bat long and put us in a commanding position by the close but still a lot of work to be done. India attack were wasteful and helped get us off to a flyer, can imagine Bumrah and Siraj will be firing on all cylinders tomorrow especially with an early wicket or two.

Pleased to see Crawley bat as well as he did and hopefully Pope will do the same tomorrow to secure their spots a little longer and give the top 7 a really familiar look.
