To bowl India out for 152 in 46.4 overs and 161 in 43 overs and WIN by an innings and 54 runs, at Old Trafford... in 7 sessions, is simply amazing. 2-1 England :clap2:

Ridiculous running.. UNBELIEVABLE from India. It's that man Ali again! 8 down.. just incredible.

8 down.. er no... that was a Jordan no ball :nono: Pity

Dhoni poor shot... fine catch by Gary Ballance... Moeen again! 105-7 AMAZING

Jadeja falls to the unbelievable Moeen Ali... good catch by Chris Jordan. What is happening to India?? 66-6 just WOW

Anderson strikes... good low catch by Bell at second slip. Kohli disappoints again... India shell-shocked. Jadeja BOOed to the crease again - and Jimmy bowling :) 61-5

Moeen Ali defying the 'part-time spinner' tag again... gets Rahane caught and bowled :clap2: 61-4 WOW What a great spell for England since tea, just what we needed.

Pujara does not look impressed. And fair enough, it was a big stride. Must have been some doubt. Hawkeye shows it was missing leg AND going over. You just have to laugh, don't you? :laugh:

And next ball Moeen Ali gets Pujara, trapped in front... brilliant spell for England 53-3

Jimmy Anderson bounces out Gambhir... nick off the glove down the leg side to Buttler. 53-2, trailing by 162 (40 overs remaining today)

Not wrong, but I fear Finn is the next cab on the rank.

Tea on day 3 33-1 trailing by 182. Poor weather forecast for tomorrow... need a few wickets in the remaining 46 overs, to make any sort of a fist of winning this one.

Woakes strikes - Vijay LBW 26-1 trailing by 189

England 367 all out (or 9 declared depending on whether you count 'Broad retired hurt' as a wicket??)... first innings lead of 215. Joe Root 77, Jos Buttler 70, Chris Woakes 26* Now for the bowlers to force the pace of the game and take some early wickets!

100 partnership for Joe Root and Jos Buttler :clap2: 271-6 lead 119

Varun Aaron takes the new ball... 248-6 (80 overs), leading by 96

Joe Root 52* (103 balls, 5 fours) :clap2:

Weather looking OK for now, surprisingly for such a grim northern venue. Important session ahead for England... bat well and we can press on into a match winning position - weather permitting, of course. Going in to day 3 (having lost most of day 2 to the rain and subsequent sogginess) England...

Weatherist or not, it is absolutely persisting down at Old Trafford... any prospect of play today already looks slim and is receding rapidly. 497744809176875008

and they come off for rain. In Lancashire, rain? really?? well I never! England 237-6 (71 overs), leading by 85 runs. Root 48 (94) Buttler 22 (53) 54 overs remaining in the day at this stage.
