Shame he couldn't have done that last Thursday evening.

Covered End

Root hit on the pads by Bumrah & given not out.
India appeal and it was given no ball
Replay shows it was hitting middle & leg

Covered End

India bowling really well here.

Root lbw Sharma 4

Commentators are all making out like Jennings got Ball of the Century, but looking at Hawkeye, it really didn't swing THAT much! It was horrendously played

Covered End

Bairstow c Pant b Bumrah 6
28-3
India bowling beautifully and the ball is swinging all over the place.

We won the toss and chose to bat.
I wonder who decided that was a good decision.

jennings not up to it
root not a number 3
bairstow not a number 4

Totally agree with you.
Root looks far more comfortable batting at four.
He also wants to bat at four so making him bat at three is just wrong imo.

stokes not a 5

Stokes isn't a number 5 either.

Stokes being injured has rather distorted things, hence we have 3 all rounders plus 3 bowlers playing, a keeper batsman and an injured keeper batsman!

Current commentator: Karthik Krishnaswamy

That might have something to do with it!

Alan Gardner covered the first hour's play.
