Oh well. That'll be that then. Pity.

Root and Prior attacking the short ball after lunch... positive cricket... exciting to watch...

Last ball before lunch :nono: Sharma bangs it in... Moeen Ali ducks away and pops it up to short leg off the glove. WOW what a session - and just what India needed from the last ball. England 173-5 (146 needed) Root 52*

Joe Root 52* and Moeen Ali 39* 100 partnership :clap2: 172-4

35 runs in the first hour - no wickets. First mini-session goes to England. 140-4 Slight drizzle... I hope that isn't going to rob England :nono:

Ali, Stokes and Prior have all had 4th innings 100's in the last 18 months.

Crucial 4th day morning session starts with India on 169-4... and Broad's first over goes for 12 :facepalm: 181-4 (lead 157) all four results are possible... and hard to pick which is most likely!

Close of play - Day 1 India 290-9 (90 overs) after being inserted by Captain Cook. A pretty decent day for England I would say - not having seen a ball bowled all day!

:thumbsup: 275-9

Kevin Pietersen, though, has this to say: "Must bat if toss is won...Lords will be flat when ball is 20overs old!"
