Joe Root vs India, ridiculous :lolol:

It’s a good job we have lots of back up in that area… oh, wait….

At this point Joe Root must literally have had enough of this shit

:lolol: England finding a way to lose this now :lolol:

Personally think Wood bowling is a mistake here, obviously he has express pace but tailenders can score runs pretty quick against him sometimes. Better off going for someone like Curran. Making a pigs ear of this now, lead about to exceed 200.

If we are chasing over 200, will we send Burns and Sibley out? They’ll be out there till next week trying to score that.

England are favourites here but if Root doesn’t get these runs I’m genuinely concerned about who will, pretty poor state of affairs. Thank god India didn't select Ashwin.

Kohli is hilarious, floodlights on and spinners bowling, he wants the players off, desperately remonstrating from the balcony to get the batsman out there to complain :facepalm: Absolutely embarrassing, players going off. Test cricket shoots itself in the foot, once again.

175-6 Jadeja bowled by a snorter from Ali, Sharma now in new ball next over - need to get them out under 200, anything near that worries me with England’s batting. Thank god Ashwin isn’t playing against us, looks like it’s turning into a Bunsen.

Really excellent umpiring in this game.

Feels like a day 4 batting paradise on the sub continent somewhere, not Lords. Very slow, sticky wicket, very un English.

I’m honestly trying to remember the last time I heard Kohli on the stump mic and it wasn’t a swear word, potty mouth.

Lords is always a bat first pitch isn’t it? I can remember a lot of big scoring first innings totals at lords over the years. I feel sorry for Moeen to be honest, he’s a good player but he’s always brought into this England side out of desperation more than anything because our batting is so...

Normally I’d agree, Lords though often starts off flat and ends with uneven bounce and turn, I just can’t see how we survive if India put a big score on the board the pressure that puts on our already scared shitless batting line up…

Fancy facing Bumrah, Shami, Siraj and Ishant on a green wicket? India are better than us in all conditions, it’s really that simple. Look at their top 5 compared to ours, spin options, bowling reserves…

Big total coming here from India with Englands fragile batting line up a big first innings score from the opponents is basically game set and match.
