I just can't see past a 5-0 embarrassment in Australia, this India side is very raw and expectations on their side weren't that high coming into this series.

all about whether they can get Wood, Archer Atkinson & Stokes fit for the majority of the series. Most of our batsmen like the ball coming onto the bat it's just how well they handle the short ball.

Rain might yet prevent this from reaching a conclusion.

Bethell just got to show a little maturity here - 20/25 not out and the game is done.

Lovely touch by rooty with Thorpe headband ! Great innings. Would be fitting if he could see us over the line

Brainless by Bethell, they need to learn that going to the ipl is only good financially their game is being held back.

ridiculous. All the time in the world and he runs down the wicket. He needs more red ball and less white ball

Just couldn’t get the ball away though. 5 off 31 balls, young lad, pressure etc. I’d have been tempted to have had smith coming in ahead of him to be honest but got to see what players are made of I guess

Oops interesting now it’s why it’s so hard to get 370 in the 4th innings to win a game

All this came about because Bethell tossed his wicket away!
You could see the bowlers pick themselves up, and now they're right back in it.

Neither he, nor root could get the ball away after tea. Just build up of pressure and very good bowling. It’s easy for all us sat at home

There's zero pressure when there's another day left.
We've created pressure out of nothing, there's zero need to win the game today.
They just needed to sit in and wait for the bad ball.
This is where we shoot ourselves in the foot everytime.

They are allowed to bowl well, you just have to bat through it, thats what test match cricket is all about, what you 100% dont do is lose your head and go charging down the wicket like a twat and gifting your wicket away. You have to be able to assess every passage of play. There's a time for Bazball and a time to dig in.

Someone needs to take Bethell's bat off him and smack him round the head with it.
If you get out to a brilliant ball then so be it, but he's dropped his team mates right in the shit now

I'd love to hear what Boycott would have to say.

think we may well have just got away with one there. Would be a very bizarre way to get out but there seems to be a second spike after the ball has hit the ground.

Got to trust the experts on this one and you can't conclusively say it was out.

Going to go off here aren't they and need 35 in the morning.

Can only have been the seam flicking off something on the pitch.

This is why Cricket is bollocks, should have had the game done by 4pm and if it pisses down tomorrow, the match is a draw for 35 runs needed
