Thread: Cricket scores around the world

T - 2h 15m. Lookign set fair for the most part but could be some weather around PM saturday and most of Monday, which may not be relevant if Bumrah gets a 10 for

And today I learned that England have never lost a test with Chris Woakes in the starting 11.

Eng put India in

Test Match Special - Gods radio programme, where me G&T?

It's going to be a long hot summer

easiest hundred quid ever

The Aussies looking at this will be putting 5-0 bets on

91/1

India's session - after losing the toss.

What a great late reward for persistence, though. .

Stokes!

92/2

That's evened it up.

Great take from the keeper.

Lunch.

^ Indeed, they were cruising.

Tendulka and Jimmy interview on TMS lunch break, love it

Two Gents.

Sachin debuted at 14.

His dad signed the contract.

It's swinging quite a bit, but England's bowlers haven't totally worked it out yet.

Carse looks most likely, woakes should be making it talking atm as sensior

Pujara on TMS, he's a nice chap

when are Engs 1st team bowlers coming on?

Could this actually go 5 days?

Berluddy sun is out.

Typical.

I've had some time to consider a word to summarise today from an England perspective and Ordinary seems to fit the bill. I confess the i have not watched it all as my attention deficit disorder led me to variously extracting naval fluff, popping to the shops twice, spending at least half an hour fighting the urge for a hot dog (not sure where that came from), placing some online orders, answering a load of work emails on a day off and checking out what films are coming up on top of a host of other stuff

5 overs short and i'm not sure i'll miss those but Eng starting the new round of WTC as they did the last one. ho hum.

Could be some weather interuption over the next few days but it feels like Eng are going to have to bat to save the match. I can see india getting 550 to 600+ and then comes Bumrah

England bowlers need to have sorted out yesterday's weaknesses.

Christ that dachshund is annoying.

That'll destroy any chances we might have had...

Gil just hit a Woakes pie for four.

And another.

Hussain describes his bowling as 'too floaty'.
