    Each to their own. I prefer Laura Tobin.

    Didn’t you forecast a 2-2 series result ?

    some thoughts as to the magnitude of the effort involved here from the BBC......

    If they pull it off, it will be the second highest successful chase in their history and will break a 123-year-old record for the best chase by any team on this ground.

    They would do it with Ben Stokes not in the team and Chris Woakes absent for most of the match. England's two best all-rounders of the past 10 years have only two working shoulders between them.

    England have a patched up pace attack that is missing Jofra Archer, Brydon Carse and Mark Wood. Their first-choice spinner is injured. Jacob Bethell has been a part-time cricketer for the past two months and batted like it.

    England dropped six catches in the India second innings and gave away 38 runs in extras in their first – how important they look now

    I was brought up watching ( and enjoying ) the likes of Boycott, Barrington and Edrich who were dour to say the least.
    Nowadays, it’s like watching a different sport with numerous records being beaten regularly.
    Luv it either way

    Fingers crossed smith continues his positive approach from previous tests. New ball due in 3 overs!
    Overton? Remember how to bat.

    Yikes.

    That last wicket stand for India might turn out to make all the difference.

    27 runs please...
