Don't know why they bother reviewing nowadays, umpires are ridiculously good.

That was a fifty fifty for noball. Actually it was a no ball. What a fecking joke.
Ridiculous. Holding has been going on about the benefit of doubt must always go to the batsman, yet, here it hasn't.
Great to see Pujara back in some decent nick, proper player.
Big wicket before tea.
What a trash knock.
Poor poor innings by pant. Why not play your natural innings. Hate when batsmen try too hard to show then can be test specialist. Just fecking play your natural innings.
ESPN cricinfo commentary said it was a fair delivery as spikes were behind the line. Havent seen it myself. Apparently it doesnt matter if your foot is.grounded or not.
Probably struggling to play his natural innings.
You'd think a 60 run lead or thereabouts would be more than handy for India, I have no confidence in England getting much over 250. Hopefully we get a nice Day 4 run chase.
Equals the longest duck in balls faced by an Indian Batsmen.
Another one gone. Shaping up to be a good game.
Ali again!
That's a shocking shot from Ashwin.
Ali is wrecking india's hopes and dreams.
Bottled it again.
Ashwan competing with Jennings for the worst dismissal award.
also, why is pujara not farming the strike?
Just shows how important that Curran innings was.
I love Ali so much, you never know what you’re gonna get from him but sometimes he’s so important.
Damn. 89-6 to this. We're going to struggle now, unless we're chasing under 150.
Oh look, tail ender problems for England again. Who'd have thought it!
Good to see Moeen back in the fold and, presumably, with his head in the right place again. If we go on to win this, it will be down to these 5 wickets.
Really top class cricketer who temporarily lost his way.

Hard to argue that Mooen isn't currently the best spinner in the country anymore I think, in spite of England mucking him around.

It's all psychological with him, struggles with the expectation when he's the main spinner.
Well batted by Pujara, but that's a fecking wank decision from the umpires there on 99; he's very blatantly hiding the bat behind his pad and kicking it away. Wasn't out anyway, but you can't have batsmen just kicking it away.
Rubbish over-rate yet again.
Get him out!
This is really poor from England.
Surely get Rashid on to the tail ender.
Surely get Rashid on to the tail ender.
Or Anderson.
Have to admit it's pretty funny to observe both sets of fans malign how useless their sides are within hours of each other.
Ali apart the England attack has looked very unthreatening, India will rue the little middle order collapse.
Why is Curran now bowling with the new ball?
Because Jimmy has been our worst bowler today.
He's looked better than Anderson.
Thought India were bad yesterday, but England have been even worse by a margin
Cheeky declaration to try and nip a few out before the close or maximise everything the England bowlers are giving them?
Keep going. Plenty of time left in the test and these runs could be very valuable.
Last two overs have yielded 1, two overs at Jennings, Cook and Root etc. would yield? But then again it doesn't matter when then those two overs are at the moment
.Yep, appalling.
