Pitch looking a bit more suited to us today.  Bairstow looked a bit shaky so far but just hit a nice boundary off the spinner.

There’s some slightly uneven bounce.

A big opening partnership will test India's resolve today. They are assured qualification and I am not sure if they will have the stomach for a  fight today?

Roy just hits a hideous cross batted slog from wide of off stump into cow corner. It may be effective, but god, it so ugly it would make many Village cricketers cringe.

I thought that was a fine shot.

Lots of dots, which we need to watch.

Now a missed wa- hoo hoick which is amazingly praised by the commentator for putting pressure on Shami. Not sure my skipper in Exhall and Wixford 2nds would have said that when I tried it. Come to think of it, he didn’t.
Still I suppose it’s cricket, Jim, but not as we know it ...

Hopefully we’ll set a big total, but I want to see our seam bowlers bowl as well as Bumrah and Shami.

Great skiddy bowler, like Brett Lee

In fairness, now an exquisite straight drive from Roy which Ted Dexter* would have been proud of.

Although I never saw Dexter bat but having read a lot about him I would never associate Roy's batting with his. Nevertheless a great compliment.
