    What a magnificent first day for England! That's cheered me up no end, fantastic morning session. Heading into the last half hour with England having a first innings lead on the first day...

    Well done Soap Dodgers ... a great start, however, as the old adage says ...

    Don't judge a pitch until both side have played on it.

    Former England cricket captain 'Lord Ted' Dexter dies

    Cricket scores around the world-tedd-jpg

    Former England captain Ted Dexter, "one of England's greatest ever cricketers", has died aged 86, the Marylebone Cricket Club announced on Thursday.
    Dexter skippered England in 30 of his 62 Tests with the MCC commenting he had played "the game with the same sense of adventure and fun that captures much of the story of his remarkable life".

    An attacking batsman, Dexter scored 4,502 runs at an average of 47.89 for England, including nine hundreds, and took 66 wickets at 34.9.

    India are digging in. Another wicket or two before close would be nice.

    England win by an Innings and 76 runs.

    That's cheered me up a bit.

    Jimmy is a genius in English conditions.

    It's funny knowing Kohli knows he's up against it.

    Certain appears close to top of his game this series. Bodes well for Summer... except for the bit about not being in England and all that.

    Root out and that may mean the rest of the Pom team may struggle to reach India's first innings score.

    Is that "probably going to get killed" vs "possibly going to get killed"?
