£180 for one day???

I thought Chris Heck had moved to LIV rather than the MCC.

Probably a sizeable one. This bowling offers nothing

Seems that it does. Looks like it’ll essentially be a one innings game.

Scores level and 2 ish overs to face. This is a really tricky third innings for England.

That was feisty at the end. I get it from India’s pov but both teams are constantly taking time out the game so neither can moan.

Agreed. What needs to desperately happen is for the umpires to get a grip of it. 32 overs now in 3 days just completely lost for absolutely no reason.

Its utterly pathetic.

Gill complaining about Crawley calling the trainer on after getting hit on the glove is a disgrace. Where's his wicket keeper who managed to bat but called the trainer on every 20 minutes but can't field ?

Its a huge problem in general. All teams are guilty of taking the piss. I remember on here a couple of years ago when during the last Ashes test on day 4 when Australia deliberately bowled their overs at a snails pace, that it was acceptable as the cricket was entertaining....

Fans are part of the problem.

I’m sure that was what was explained to him.

Bit of a finish in the women's T20 then.

I worry for England today. My attitude at this point, given the position of the series, this game on this pitch is must not lose. I think setting a total on this would be incredibly hard. I fear the win at pretty much all costs could be a real danger here. Hope I’m wrong.

Indian quickies are going to rely on bouncers today just as other teams have successfully done so at aging Lord’s pitch in the past. Indian spinners will look for batters footwork damaged patches that will make it a nightmare for lefthanders like Stokes. If England get to about 250 plus that would be a great achievement and possibly a win tomorrow as a result.
