About 12 yesterday most people were talking about a score of 600 and, at that time, the idea of us matching them in the first innings was unthinkable. Since then we've been on top for, effectively, 4 sessions.

It’s ironic that as soon as the conditions became more “English” the cracks started to appear.

Harry Brook can be a delight to watch but he is equally as frustrating!

Felt for him there. Oh well, it saved the inevitable “Yorkshire, Yorkshire” chant.

He really needs to get that out of his game, not sure if it's nerves or impatience but it's a bad habit that lets him down.

Psychologically it's tough going on 99 but great knock from Brook.

I really can’t see our attack taking 10 Indian wickets for a reasonably low score.

Yep, brilliant knock from him here, got us to basically level and with conditions that our seam attack will be excited by.
