    It needs to be over before the Brazilian variant strikes.

    I thought Jimmy Anderson's nickname was the Burnley Express :)

    You learn sumat new every day. I'd heard of the Rawalpindi Express.

    I thought you were meant to start sessions with your best bowlers? Yet we started with Root and Bess. Let these two get in now.

    We know how to let teams off the hook. We'll make these two look like Don Bradman and Brian Lara.

    There's how to get a 50! Winning the battle against Leach at the moment

    Nailed on they'll get a lead with Root and Bess chucking down pies. We had our foot on their necks and have well and truly taken it off. Masters of our own demise this series. Even in the two lost tests we had good opportunities but squandered them.

    Bess is broken isn't he? Don't think Root can persevere with Leach vs Pant until the new ball either. In danger of seeing Lawrence or Sibley bowling here.

    Yeah broken by the system. It's a shame because he was buzzing with bat and ball before they messed him about.

    Pushing the singles nicely, this 50 partnership is just what India were needing.

    I know mental health comes into the equation but in hindsight it was a bad move dropping Bess for Ali for one test.

    Jesus Stokes.

    Needs to be taken out of the attack here.

    He's not been well and it certainly looks like the heat is getting to him.

    We got ourselves back in the game only to let them put on this current partnership and waste a bad review.

    The team selection starting to catch up with them. Stokes should never be second seamer, unless it is a pitch like 2nd and 3rd test, or you have quality spinners like Swann and Panesar in the side.

    They'll get 300, skittle us out for 150 and knock them off again.

    Nailed it. Let them off the hook big time and now we’re paying the price. Really poor captaincy from Root I’m afraid.

    This is painful to watch. Taking the game away from us.
