There's another test match going on at the moment, one that's worth a mention. Pakistan were bowled out for 133 with the splendidly named debutant, Colin De Grandhomme taking 6-41. It's all going to be downhill for him after that

Just checked the score for the first time this morning and saw we were 21/1 and my first thought was that I almost hoped it was Cook that was out. Not that I feel any malevolence towards Cap'n Cook, I just really really want Hameed to do well and get an established, working, opening partnership together at last.

Agnew played against his father Laurence De Grandhomme. Imagine being at school being a Grandhomme.

Bairstow 16 not 14 in rankings as I erroneously state above.

Damn run out.

Moeen Ali LBW appeal... not out... reviewed... pad first... and it's hitting enough of leg stump.

80-5 (34.2 overs)

Good use of DRS by India. Shambolic effort from England.

No doubt, India have had the best of conditions here but England have to work out a method on these bunsens or it's going to be a miserable tour.
