I've got a work call at 11am for an hour and I'm slightly worried Jofra's going to be batting when I walk back into the front room.

Yes, if something this pitch has shown is one play aggressive cricket. Rohit played right brand of cricket and got rewarded. Crawley also played some aggressive shots and the imtent was always there. Hanging around is not a solution.
yeah not a prodding around wicket, try and hit what you can specially if it’s off the stumps, put bat through it

Yes india have ashwin and axar but this is England's chance to score at least 200 and ask India to chase 150 plus total. If England wins this match, it's a massive achievement and they deserve all the credit.

Yeah, maybe England can hit 250 to make it a little bit harder for India?

That has literally nothing to do with the pitch. Bairstow sweeping on his first ball. feck off.

I’d honestly drop him just for that.

Edit. Hahahahahahah

He was so low when sweeping I thought that must have been out. Surprised it was missing.

Edit - Bairstow :lol:

Just feck off Bairstow. So done with him at this level.

*But then again, everyone deserves another chance.

**Nope right first time.

THE BALL ISN'T FECKING TURNING YOU PIECE OF SHITE! :lol:

Red Card for Casemiro!
Yeah, this pitch is terrible. Wouldn't be surprised if India got fined.

Wtf am I watching? This is Day 2 and we've seen 22 wickets fall - 5 of them to Joe Root!

This is well up there with the most pathetic opening I’ve seen to an innings by England.

I’m still struggling to get over Bairstow sweeping on his first ball.

The worst thing is that Burns batted pretty well in the second innings last test on an equally tricky pitch and we drop him for that.

Bairstow can't play Test Cricket.

He had a great year in 2016.

He's since been worked out, he's fecking shite at test cricket.
