    Justice served.
  • I haven't look to see what bookies are offering but I am going to pitch our 1st innings score at 280. Who is happy to buy at that price?
    Not surprised there aren't any buyers. India might not get 280 now!

    Can England's review be reinstated?

    Umpiring has been very dodgy today. Brilliant ball by moeen, he’s turning it a mile today

    Good point!
  • Rohit wasn’t given out stumped, then was caught soon after

    Rahane should have been out caught, then is bowled soon after 

    Karma
  • Why didn’t they understand what we were appealing for? 
    I think because the 3rd Umpire is expected to check for everything - catch/LBW etc etc whenever there is an appeal and he plainly didn't. 
  • Pant could smash his way to a quick 50 - or be out for a duck!

    Just realised that there are no neutral umpires for this series 🤔.

    Third umpire having a mere .. clear stumping not given now basically refusing to show the full reply which was proven to have hit the glove

    There wasn’t for Sri Lanka either but they arguably were more favourable towards England.

    I thought the umpires were very fair in the first Test here too

    What a bad time for me to jump in the shower as shopping is due to be delivered soon. 

    Missed all of that excitement

    That is two of the worst bits of TV umpiring I have ever seen.  

    It's so bad it's got to be deliberate? 
  • This is the 6th occasion that the 3rd Umpire has been the TV Umpire. He has never stood in the middle in a Test match but has done so for 47 ODIs and T20Is

    He won’t stand in a Test at this rate!

    Foakes’ keeping has been a joy. Great to see an Englishman look so natural and relaxed behind the stumps. 

    Pant vs the spinners is quite the battle this series. Great to watch

  • Foakes makes keeping look so easy. It's not reactive but pro active, Has the modern way of the hands go first and then the feet.

    Now, at the risk of upsetting Canters, Blackpool et al, I would really love to see Buttler at 6 and Foakes keeping the gloves at 7. And they know what that means for Messrs Pope and Burns!!!!
  • Who was it that said that Root should bowl more?
  • Yes! Getting into them now.

    England now trying to get them out twice at the same time just to make sure

    You never know your luck. There's no chance of dating these days after all

    There has to be no excuse for this if you have the video evidence.
  • If root is getting this much turn, imagine what Ashwin will do!!!
