Brilliant stuff Woakesy.

[tomd2103]

Great stuff from Chris Woakes and really pleased for him, as I feel he has come in for some pretty unfair criticism during his test career.

[LeeB]

It’s very weird Moeen and Woakes are excellent at home, but not great at all away.

Like pretty much everyone in the world in test cricket it seems.

[Villan For Life]

A lead of 250 with a dodgy weather forecast, why haven’t we declared?

I'd be interested to see a breakdown of win percentages of home tests versus away for teams such as England, Australia and India over the last 5 years.  I bet it's hugely one sided.

[dave shelley]

India 0 for 1.  Jimmy Anderson with his 100th test wicket at Lord's.  Phenomenal bowler.

[Risso]

Broad on a hattrick.

[Holte132]

I'm following this on cricinfo and they definitely said that the Indians reviewed a couple of decisions but in both cases the decision stood and their batsman was given out. How come they still have one review remaining?

They were England reviews I think.

Proper thrashing that.

Cricinfo must have got their commentary wrong then. They definitely said the batsman was given out and that he went to review it. Misleading lot! Not that it matters now anyway.

Yep - this is the bit of play that I was talking about. In fact, a few minutes later at 3.50pm, when the rain comes back, there is a link (for viewers in India only) to watch Karthik depart for a duck 'as India lose both their reviews'.

Broad to Karthik, OUT, now Karthik reviews! Three in a row. Karthik is rapped in front of off stump and looks out, plumb. Consults with Pandya and goes for it, but it doesn't look good. Yep, he's gone. Big inswinger again, gets Dinesh Karthik. He's got another screamer and his horror return lengthens. Forward stride coming in late and at an angle. Broad hoops it in a long way and that's hitting middle and off

Broad to Kohli, OUT, another review for caught. This time from Kohli, and he's gone up as soon as Dar has given him. Looks like Ollie Pope at short leg who has lunged forward to take on that's come off his hip. Was there glove before though? Yes there was! It has brushed the knuckle before catching him on the hip. Kohli looked amused when he reviewed, suggesting he might not have felt that at all. Doesn't matter. It's 100% for the umpires. Kohli is gone, fending awkwardly again at big incoming delivery from Broad that was dug in back of a length.

Broad to Kohli, no run, England have reviewed a caught-behind decision down leg side. Kohli jumping into the off side to glance a short ball at his hips. Bairstow has taken it one-handed with a big dive. Aleem Dar says not out....and there's nothing on Ultra Edge as the ball passes glove and bat. That was off his shirt. Not out, review lost, and a good decision. Been a perfect Test for the umpires.

[tomd2103]

Finished that off quickly and won in three days really.  Indians are looking clueless against the swinging ball and looking a beaten side at the moment.

Kartik LBW was Umpires Call for where it pitched so review is retained. Incidentally, TMS confirmed that period of play is the first time ever there have been reviews in 3 consecutive balls

Ah, thanks for clearing that up for me! Much obliged.
