Looking at how the pitch is playing Rohit's gonna make 300 on his own.

Time for Jimmy to step up and finally get that maiden Test century

Leach has just denied him the chance. Damn.

If he gets past the first 1/2 hour, he'll probably still be batting on Sunday.

Time for England's late developing all-rounder batting at no. 4
to outfox this Indian batting line up.

Jimmy will be pretty phlegmatic abut it.
He knows he's got another 30 or 40 chances.

Good start...

India must be hoping they can avoid the follow on.

Stokesy you fucking stud

Well that was a pleasant surprise to wake up to. Rohit's still there though...

Last test when the ball wasn’t swinging - three seamers plus Stokes.

This test with the ball doing a bit - one seamer plus Stokes.

Trying to build some pressure on their batsmen. Bess - full toss.

Not good enough at this level. He’s a finger spinner. It’s not rocket science.

Yeah that's a peach

Root really showed him how it's done by going for 9 off his first over.

An entirely fair comparison ;)

Cracking last over from Bess, hope he can carry that on to the next session.

This is why we love Test cricket!

It seems the standard Boycott comment still applies here.

Boycott

God it's annoying when he's right...

Cracking last over from Bess, hope he can carry that on to the next session.

Guess not.

Stokes looks totally blown.

I can't imagine even having a brisk walk in that heat, let alone seam bowling.

And I'm not a massive ginger.

This is a proper marathon Test. Could go to day 3.

Ha

Pant is a great player to watch. Proving he can do the hard yards.

Pant crushing the Australian hopes again
