Impressed with the highlights on All4, no "experts" talking ballox, no in-deapth analysis, no adverts, just the highlights. Brilliant, well done Channel 4.
Christ, those Indian batting averages are a worry! All batsmen down to No.7 averaging over 40, and most of them look true averages, rather than false ones after playing just a couple of tests! Just shows you how much we rely on Root to score the big totals...
Draw looking the most likely result on this batting track. Archer need to rectify his poor show with the bat with a good bowling performance.
Another great day for England, 555 for 8. Try and get to 600 in the morning and see what happens. Draw very much the favourite now
Should have declared with 30 minutes left to bat, India wouldn't have wanted that; 2 goes at the openers with the bowlers fully rested and raring to go.
If you subtract his top score for England of 30 he has scored 109 runs in 16 innings. Giving him an average of 6.8
