Blimey I’ve just seen the pitch, it’s green! I’ll revise my initial concerns about our attack, they’ll get plenty of help here.

Irritating - a wet day - some loose bowling from tongue but terrific from Atkinson.

Shame he wasn't backed up, thought bowling was poor, that was my reason for not putting them in I didn't fancy our attack.

Everyone (the wider not on here) seemingly have less patience for the game and sport, I didn't see any of yesterday but kept reading online how poor we were and now we are in a totally dominant position day 2, seems a theme all series, one bad day and the daggers have come out for us in a series we look likely to win against a very very good side.

I have enjoyed this series TBH

That's one of great things about the game, advantage can swing to either team throughout the match and a wicket can fall from every ball. Conditions did favour the bowlers and we should have bowled them out for under 200, giving them 28 runs was criminal and the lack of control relieved a lot of pressure on their team. That written England have done well against a very good side as you have indicated, hope the openers continue to put pressure on them.

Brilliant this morning and now the batters, hahaha unreal
Duckett just scopped Siraj over the keepers head for 6

55/0 off 6 overs

 

[markysimmo]

This is sensational batting from Duckett & Crawley

I really hope they do this in Australia this Ashes and it comes off

 

[markysimmo]

Shame from Duckett but a brilliant start from England

 

[Gazza Dazzla]

Bang out of order that from the bowler, Duckett should have pushed him away. That’s got to be another fine for the Indian player.

They really haven't covered themselves in glory this series
I have no problem with proper tough nuggly test cricket but India have crossed the line many times
I honestly thought with Kohli retiring it would be a good natured series, maybe Gill wants this

 

[markysimmo]

109/1 off 16, ridiculous against a team as good as India

@markysimmo what's 'nuggly'?

@markysimmo what's 'nuggly'?

I mean't niggly

Just wanted to highlight Atkinson’s bowling stats: 5/33 at 1.52 runs an over.

He’s the real deal isn’t he?

If we can keep Archer and Wood (yeah right!) fit as well then it’s a bowling line up that could cause problems in Australia finally.
