205/5 at tea. Decent session for England.
Bairstow 66
Butler 38.
Bairstow has had a really good year in 2016. Added to his runs, his keeping has improved lots too.

Nice little stat from CricInfo:
10 times Bairstow has scored 50+ at No. 5 or lower in 2016. Only 2 others have managed this in a year - Mathews ('14), Chanderpaul ('02)

Just checked his stats for 2016. Runs 1323 H/S 167* Average 69.63. Lets hope he can add a few more this innings.

Simply put, the top order need to start scoring runs. The way they are playing we'll be winning zip.
India showing us what we should have done yesterday. Very disappointing. TMS saying that there was an air of victory when we won the toss. Fans and players alike forgetting there was the small matter of getting 500 runs on the board.
No need to let this thread get to page 3 though.

The most curious thing..
Were loose
Does anyone know what the England batting averages are for this tour (including in Bangladesh). Even Cook's place must be dubious if he wasn't captain and there was anyone else there who can bat (which there isn't).

It is looking like a small India 1st innings lead unless we can break this partnership.

If they keep scoring like they are against the new ball, I'd suggest it may be more than a small lead.

Break this partnership before the close of play and we will be ok?

Well that didnt happen but on the plus side batsmen rarely start the next day as they finished the previous so an early wicket or two and all will be ok.

No its not.
Another air of inevitability about it. 100+ lead coming up and England under pressure again.
