    Hmm..... can see play again... just as Bumrah wallops a 6!

    A lead of 80+. That's going to be a really big ask, though at least the pitch will still be fairly fresh after such little cricket on it after 2 innings.

    We’re likely to have lost 3 wickets before reaching India’s first innings score. Really messed this last hour up

    The draw is marginally the favourite outcome so bad weather must be forecast

    The forecast over the weekend looks pretty horrible.

    How do you bat in this situation? If you are too careful/ defensive leave alot like it's the 1st morning, eventually you'll get a good ball.
    Fine balance required, score what's available and see the shine off imho.

    Yes, that looks pretty much how to do it. Balls not swinging though and they're looking comfortable.

    He does it on purpose. It's his gimmick :).

    No problem with blocking the first 10 overs but once the shine goes and you’re in a bit you need to get on with it a bit.

    Good decision to get tickets for the first day at Headingley, should see some cricket. Wouldn’t bet on day 3.
