It will be a good day if we have sufficient play to remove the 2 who are batting at the moment.

The forecast is very depressing. Be pleasantly surprised if we get any more play today unfortunately.

Plenty of gaps in the showers, optimistically hoping for half an hour now, then off for an hour, early tea and then dry to close....

Cricket is an odd game, when in many instances the result is strongly influenced by the toss of a coin.

You still have to perform, agreed, but Lady Luck has a major impact.

I don't think there should be a toss- except in the last match of an uneven rubber. Need to try and fine a way of evening up the choice.

Knowing who bats first before team selection does not work either. Maybe have a set toss, such as heads England first, tails India.

India playing 2 spinners may even this toss out come Monday...and it might not, of course.

The current view:

Astonishing cock up on the run up and the apocalypse happening overhead.

Halfway through day 2 and we've only taken 3 wickets. Poor from England

Maybe they shat their pants when they saw that thing coming?

It's not an old problem he was pants on the last tour. Great batter but not invisible as proved by Stokes in the last test.
