    Reckon he'd bowl faster if he didn't have 5kg of gold around his neck.

    He was quite unlucky with umpire calls in the last test, but he needs to get 4-5 in an innings soon.

    Hope they only use him in 4 or 5 over spells. Root and the England management destroyed him 4 years ago.

    This is the key bit. Can Carse or Woakes bowl and hit the wickets like India did.

    They've bowled pretty well, apart from the first over. But just lacking that threat of the Indian seamers. No real movement, but at least we've been accurate.

    Yes, agree. Thing is they weren't always threatening - Carse/Smith partnership was pretty easy going for 60/70 runs but the ball needs to be bowled in the right place. Also noticed Woakes last ball zipped more when he put his back into it.

    Better than I was expecting I would say but a lack of wickets.

    Cracking catch by Root. This is a big partnership to break.
    Assume Pant can't bat yet as he was off for ages? Oh maybe if it's a physical injury?

    Brighouse and surrounding areas at a standstill again due to accident on M62.

    This was my sat nav 10 minutes ago. IMG_6626.jpeg Red is not good.

    50% FCF attendance.

    Very red meat-centric.
