I completely agree. Low scoring test matches are often the best. With the first innings scores tied this was effectively a low scoring one innings match. It just shows that you don't need batsmen tonking it over the ropes every over for it to be a thriller.

I'm not sure we had any more luck than India did. Yes, Siraj's wicket looked a tad fortunate but Jadeja was arguably lucky to escape being LBW to Woakes on review. We won because we bowled well and Stokes offered tremendous leadership and worked his socks off. I really think we deserved it.

It may sound like it but it absolutely wasn't. It was a tense, nailbiting thriller. It was proper test cricket. The best match I can recall since Edgbaston in 2005 against the Aussies. 👍

I think it will be over before we get the opportunity to take the new ball.

Although I'm still keeping the faith for an England victory, I reckon WinViz is optimistic in giving us a 92% chance. I'd say 75-80 %.

England will win this now 👍 I think Bumrah will be well advised to keep out of Jadeja’s way when the innings ends 😆

Eek, this is tense!

We are going to have to bowl and field extremely well if we are going to win this match. I can’t see it myself but it might just be possible if we take early wickets.

It was, as the article I quoted made clear, always going to take time to get a new stadium built. I would doubt, even if things are going well, that they are yet in a position to submit a planning application. I read that, as part of their desire to be in the second tier from next season, they...

They are both good players but as they are rather different it is difficult to compare them. Sheaf is the better player in a holding role but Torp can shoot which Sheaf definitely can’t.

It's our home and I love it. 👍

We already do that with Binks. 😆

I'd be happy on a pay as you play basis but I really can't see it happening.

Any defender who is chasing him will never catch up because he will be in the “dirty air” turbulence behind Haji’s hairdo. I’m hoping they don’t allow DRS in the Championship 🙂

I'm very pleased for you and of course for your wife and daughter 👍

The London Standard reported about twenty minutes ago that Vik has agreed personal terms with Arsenal for a five year contract.

We need to substitute Carter.

Sadly not ☹️ While we have Tongue and Bashir we have hope 👍

Tongue and Bashir to bat for over three hours tomorrow to see us through to safety. 👍

As I said in my post, I only think it’s worth a try if we have no options other than Simms, BTA and Bassette as none of them seem to have the knack of putting it in the net at the moment. We will never know unless we try it. Hopefully we will get another striker in and Haji and/or at least one...
