i would like to see us go into 20/20 mode a bit like thakur did for india, but there is a chance that Ali and Pope could put on another 50 or so and get us past india and build a lead. its always a tough decision to make at the tail end of an innings.....india had nothing to lose as they were 120ish for 7 at the time

I think Ali and Pope need to concentrate on staying there and shouldn't do any thing rash yet.

Is anybody else getting a bit annoyed with the bowling teams constantly querying the state of the ball?

Commentators on R5Live are asking about Ali holing out: ''Where did that come from?'' Haven't they ever seen him bat?

I think he's a great cricketer but his batting has always been reflexive. Beautiful when it works but it can (and does) go horribly wrong.

Now we need to get the indian top order out before they catch englands lead…….

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Lead of 99, Anderson is on his 99th not out in test cricket. They deserve an ice cream.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Squandered! Lead of 100, 100 not outs.

Wrong again. Lead of 99, 99 not outs. TMS had it all wrong.
