I take no pleasure in saying that Pant is taking the game away from us at an alarming rate... Let's hope his concentration goes now he has hit three figures

This has been some innings on a tricky patch. He's a hell of a player this guy

Got a very lucky reprieve before tea did Pant. Amazing how such tight margins win test matches.

As I posted he has a very good eye but technique will see him fail more often than not away from India. If he wafted the bat the way he has today in our conditions he wouldn't last long.

A good T20 player as he hits it all over the place, difficult to set a field as I'm not sure he knows where it's going.

He's won them the game

Pant has been excellent on the flat decks of Australia and now on the turning pitches of India. Big challenge for him with his technique against the ball moving through the air in England.

Absurdly biased coverage - just consistently irritating.

Why is Stokes bowling - he looks dead on his feet?

Yeah, he'll be found out a bit in England but he's young and can learn.

Steve Smith has poor technique too but he's made a decent amount of runs in different conditions.

These Indian commentators are f**king knobheads aren’t they, never heard such bias in my life.

Unfortunately this partnership looks like taking the game away from England.

Have you ever watched Australian tests (apart from the Ashes I mean)?

It's like watching cricket in a lobotomy recovery ward.

I say that, actually I think Channel 9 lost the rights since I last had a chance to watch any so maybe it's improved slightly.

He flicks his bat at the ball. If you watched closely he hardly played with the full face of the blade showing and mostly the bat at a 45 degree angle. I know modern day cricketers don't play the straight bat like we were taught, but on a stopping wicket with a swinging ball the only way he'd survive is the ball moving too much.

What a superb century. England's spin bowler are, quite literally, Pants.

Don't actually know if I want to bounce this thread!

Clearly the game has gone already, I suppose an improved batting performance second dig is best that can be hoped for...

Just put the TV on.

First ball is Jack Leach being effortlessly whacked for six by Sundar.

TV back off.

I must have some hoovering or something to do...
