Not sure if there are match tickets left but it will be too late in terms of extra time/money to get there given I wasn't expecting to go. This is the problem with living in exile!

Excellent morning of test cricket that.

[KNVillan]

Yes, excellent morning, topped off with a fantastic catch by Bairstow to leave India 34-1 at Lunch.

[KNVillan]

Excellent days cricket…India’s day today.

This game is very much in the balance after today.

In the balance is going too far. A target of 100 or less would still be englands game to throw away so they're looking for 240 runs before they'll be thinking of giving it a go, that means batting out most of the day again. That's a big ask to do back-to-back.

Agreed we are still very much the favourites but that was a bad day. At least I will have some cricket to watch tomorrow on the bright side.

So pleased for Hameed. Nice hair too!

[KNVillan]

Good morning for England so far. 3 Wickets India now 239-5, still trailing by 115

Hope you’re enjoying. Not much better than England’s bowlers on a roll.

What a morning and win for England.  New ball was pivotal and our bowlers were excellent.

Meanwood Villa, I think you get your money back?

Half I think. And a great win too. The collapse everyone was expecting yesterday.

India should have let Jarvo bat

Really been impressed with Ollie Robinson so far this summer.  Has bowled really well and seems to have that bit of edge that all good fast bowlers do.  Had his troubles earlier in the summer, but has come back from it well and looks like he will be useful in Australian conditions in the upcoming Ashes.
