1 last comment on the pitch, it seems to play differently under lights, Leech was getting a lot more turn this morning than last night.

Hope we play some positive shots because they won't bat for long if they just try to survive.

Bairstow did well again, consistent with his scoring in this game.

3 balls 2 wickets, no runs and a not out review. Wow.

What odds India winning by an innings?

Braindead from Bairstow, what the fuck was he trying to do?

Well we’re blowing this again. What a return from Bairstow.

I have certainly seen worse opening overs.

So Sibley plays a stupid shot and then decides to waste a review. Reaching 100 would be an achievement here.

I don't know what to make of Axar Patel, he's been superb for them but I'm not sure how his style would translate to conditions outside the sub-continent, he's very quick and flat for a spinner, he'd be more like a medium pacer in English conditions. I think part of the reason we've struggled so much with him is that you rarely see bowlers like this.

Frustrating way for Sibley to go just as we were starting to get a bit of control.

More frustrating is I think we could put runs on the board in the 3rd session if we can survive to it with any batting left.
