Starc's pink ball mastery. Am sure Bumrah is a better captain than Rohit.

I am disappointed but lets wait for 4th day pitch

Gus!!!111!!one!

Atkinson you beauty!

Hat trick was lovely. Shame the review halted the celebration from a tv coverage point of view, even if the team knew it was a done deal.

Got to say, even im enjoing the Crawley - Henry mismatch.

Bethell looks the real deal though.

Gutted for Bethel.

Ah good one black bats. Weirdly crush India and then embarrass yourselves by batting like you're playing in a kids v parents end of season game.

Wonder if they'll be tempted to try Bethel at opener. He's basically done that this tour and it's gone pretty well. The Crawley method of drive hard whatevers going on is pretty easy to prepare for as an opening bowler.

Don't see them dropping Crawley - backed him for fuck knows how long

Pope's kept alright but he'll move back up once the summer comes round

Enjoyed this.

Met Tuffers today. He was turning on the lights for the Children's Trust Festive Fete in Tadworth. Good on him as the weather was sodding terrible with the storm!

When would you declare?

Tea on day 2.

Rooty you absolute madlad

How about now!?

Probably not the worst time... It could be over by day 3 tea still.

Fuck me what a catch

And another England hat trick.

This half hour has been painful to watch

Nice one Santner, top scoring at 8, but jesus another top order failure. Hopefully we can hold onto a few catches...

Crawley is already enjoying himself.

We are back

Just like the old days for Joe Root,
walking in to bat at 33/2.
Doesn't like batting at No.3,
but is routinely an opener.

Here we go again
