It's just bollocked it down in the foothills of Clent so I can see an early Lunch.

And here's my annual reminder that it's the City End.

"KP" on commentary. 'Sake.

I'm glad it's not just me he annoys the fuck out of.

I think all tests in England should start at 10:30, the light is great by then and it gives a little more 'wiggle-room' to get extra overs in if there are delays.

Not for me, less of a lie-in and means you're closer to rush hour traffic if it finishes on time.

Butcher (who is great btw) has just called it the Birmingham City End. Good God Almighty, see how it ends?

[LeeB]

"The end of Birmingham City" would be more appropriate.

Glad that Butch is getting more airtime on Tests

I thought the middle order would be the problem and so it's proving, we could really do with a breakthrough soon.

[Villa Lew]

That's a great ton from Pant

Pant’s on fire

On T20 and 100 commentary, KP is right down there with Danny Morrison in terms of being unlistenable.

However, the much more restrained KP on Test commentary is ok

[PaulWinch again]

Looking grim.

Two late wickets has swung this from India’s day to just about honours even.

There’s time for us to take a few more too.

It was great knock from Pant, but blimey this year’s batch of balls is rough.

The stadium announcer calls it Birmingham end which is bollocks. It should be City End.

Despite England letting it slip away after that ever so nice Mr Kohli demolished his stumps I enjoyed Pants and Jadeja’s batting. A decent day even allowing for the deluge around lunch time.
