    The best hope now looks like being that the Indian wiring might plunge the whole place into darkness.

    Exactly as I predicted.

    It is a shocker, if a batman farts standing near it it'll blow 5 inch deep hole. You'd think we we're playing the oz with their shenanigans

    ^ well at least its not as one sided as it looked on day one. Its a bit ridiculous though. I think the only thing Eng can do is go aggressive in their 2nd inning - if they try to defend and play watchfully Ashwin and Axar will be all over them. It is now an exciting contest.

    Root could be on for a five for; 5 overs, 3 maidens 4 wickets for 6 runs

    There will now be an interlude with a 50 run stand for the 10th wicket.

    Root deserves to get the final wicket and a 5-wicket haul.

    Totally agree. If they scratch around and try to bat defensively they'll be all out for 50. Got to be aggresive even though wickets will still fall, just as the Injun tail are doing now.

    First England captain to get a 5 wicket haul since Bob Willis.

    145 all out, a lead of 33.

    Game on.

    England has an interesting start.

    First ball

    1/0 ... or 0/1 if you are a soap dodger.

    Haven't seen a hat-trick in Test Cricket for a while.

    I didn't think Headworx was an Aussie

    As an aside, I thought Australia were destined not to finish first after the SA tour was cancelled?

    I usually don't watch a lot of Cricket played on the Indian sub-Continent but ...

    I can't ever recall a Test Match starting with 2 spin bowlers?

    Probably were but they still had a chance if this series finished Ind 1-2 Eng.
