Would have been nice if they'd have announved it over the PA system. Dhoni deserves the plaudits from the crowd.

Hopefully when the players come of at the close of play, Dhoni and the team will get a nice ovation

Dhoni will no doubt win the TMS Champagne moment. A nothing award but he deserves it.

Dhoni has done very well to let Bell bat on, as he was out due to his own incompetence,
All this spirit of the game is all well and good but if the opposition miscalculate then they will and should be punished.
In my view Bell should not be batting

Agreed.  I think the reason they didn't is because it wasn't sorted out until right at the last minute.  Perhaps they should have delayed the restart by a few minutes to make an announcement.

apparently, a few of the Indian squad had big money on Bell making 150 :P

Blimey, they've just shown the Collingwood incident from 08.

That was really bad.

Meant to be a cloudy day tomorrow, and as we saw on the first day, that makes a huge difference to the conditions.

This England side nothing if not resilient. This is the hall mark of all great teams.

Trott gone. We need to get over 300 lead here.
