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

    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

    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.

    Filthy comment by Bumble.

    A good snatch is that.

    Followed by Holding saying he has to go down.

    Curran survives an lbw appeal, which was given not out & stayed with umpires call. It was hitting the outside of leg stump.
