Joe Root is finally delivering on his unbelievable potential. What a player.

[Rory]

How the fuck does Bumrah get the pace and accuracy he does from that run-up? He looks like a hungover trundler, then he's suddenly at 85mph top of off.

Great morning session for England. It’s always good to see Kohli fail!

Joe Root is finally delivering on his unbelievable potential. What a player.

Hard to believe he is 2 years younger than Kohli with nearly 2000 more test runs

Yep, his proper run up can’t be more than ten yards

[UK Redsox]

Wood gets Pujara with one that lifts more than expected.

Game now probably hinges on the approach that Pant takes.

England will probably be happy for him to score 30/40 as long as he doesn’t hang around for long.

[UK Redsox]

Uh oh……Wood has hurt his shoulder diving to save a boundary

[UK Redsox]

Rahane has already had to have a word with Pant. It must be like controlling a hyped up puppy.

[UK Redsox]

………or maybe Mo will just keep knocking over whomever’s at the other end to Pant

What a brilliant Test Match at Sabina Park between WI & Pakistan.
I refuse to watch 100 so at close of play at Lords been switching over for this game, not Saturday as at Watford, but a classic
few hours yesterday, WI wanting 168 to win were eventually down to about 148/9. I wrongly assumed Pakistan would win
but a steadfast partnership by Roach and teenager Seales somehow managed to see the game out. The wicket was doing things all day with majority of wkts either ct in slips or behind.
So it was a surprise they were able to see it through.
Shame it's only a 2 game series, second starting Friday 16:00

Jayden Seales went onto get the MOTM due to him being the youngest ever West Indian to get a 5fer, only 19.

I love a low scoring test match

England have lost it a bit here. Far too interested in getting stuck into Bumrah than actually trying to take these last 2 wickets

[PaulWinch again]

Yeah cracking game.

England need to be careful here. Don’t get carried away with short ball, these aren’t good batters.

[Monty]

What ever happened to the basics? We've been bouncing tailenders for years now, and we constantly struggle to finish teams off. Bumrah's out the swinging an old mean reaping corn, fast full and straight will do.

[PaulWinch again]

Aim at the bloody stumps! Bumrah averages less than 4 for fucks sake.

[taylorsworkrate]

This is easy for Bumrah and Shami at the moment.
