Gill was superb. Reminded me of Azharuddin, very elegant player.

3rd Test.

Stokes wins the toss and decides to . . . . . . . . . bat!

Perfect best time to bat at Lords is days 2 & 3

I hope is faith in cArse is repaid, he was woeful in Birmingham. Overton and Cook must be wondering what they have to do to get a game.

missing Wood and Atkinson badly.

looking forward to seeing Crawley get settled with 15-30 runs and then nicking off...

FFFS I hate being right!
to be fair he got a good delivery but he was dropped in slips / gully a ball or two before of something he had no need to play at!
Duckett got a rank bad ball but played it terribly.

There's a swarm of ladybirds, just arrived with the new ball. Very odd.

Root on 99 overnight!

I have no clue as to what he needs to do to get dropped.
It’s almost like England have a 10 man team.

Im not a Crawley fan either. But who instead? Lees, Sisley, Burns, Jennings have all had a go. I’m not close enough to the CC to know what young opening bats we have. I always felt Adam Lyth could have done a job for England but was dropped after a hard series against the Australians.

Stokes out, Smith dropped, all inside the first 20 minutes.
England wobbling as the Indian seamers find some movement.

Bumrah bish bosh bash

Listening on TMS, it sounds like the pitch is less ''stoppy'' and is coming onto the bat. As though it's now a good batting track.

India managed to get the ball changed after about 10 overs, and now they've got one that looks like it's lived a life.

It's Lords, it always is.

If this goes the distance (which I reckon it will), it's gonna be a tight game.

And yet another ball. As TMS commented, the original was doing plenty, so why change? India seem to have a fetish about their balls needing changing all the time.
