And by the way I am glad Barmy Army have dropped the Bairstow song with that "I will let you shag my wife" line in it. About time.
Great overall performance and almost perfect morning. Both batsman played superably and did their job however there was total lack of tension in the match due to India's attitude. They were not at all bothered to break a sweat and introduce some jeopardy in the play and rattle the batters. The visit to Edgbaston was, for me, totally spoiled by a team that almost forfeited the mornings play despite having 119 rund to defend. Maybe they did what their Board should have done in the first place last year and conceded the match. Anyway well done England.

As mentioned several times before, the Barmy Army really get on my nerves.I don't mind the odd Root chant or a chorus of 'Oh Jimmy Jimmy' but most of the time they're singing about themselves or that trumpet is blaring.It puts me off attending international matches in person
