This quarter's been a good watch so far, explosive start to both innings for the bowlers. Nice to see the bat not winning every now and then

Still think Lancs will sneak this, hoping for Kent though.
Pope dropped
Woakes injured
Ali & Curran back in
Bairstow plays but doesn’t keep with a fractured finger.
Harsh on Pope throwing him in at 4 when he only bats at 6 for his county.Harsh on pope they have given Jennings many chances and he gets one go

Should put Bairstow at 3 , Root 4 (he's better here than 3) then Pope /Stokes/Buttler
The Indians have said they are going to target Bairstow's finger. They must have very accurate bowling.
Not sure I like this. One thing to target a batsman because he's not good against bouncers etc. But to target an injured body part seems wrong.The Indians have said they are going to target Bairstow's finger. They must have very accurate bowling.

Appalling start as usual, Cook not turning up again and disappointing knock by JB. Have to rely on Stokes and Buttler to get some runs to save some face here.
Be very lucky if we make 200. This partnership is crucial I think. One more wicket and we'll fold I'm sure.Appalling start as usual, Cook not turning up again and disappointing knock by JB. Have to rely on Stokes and Buttler to get some runs to save some face here.
Nah! He can Cook off.Somebody needs to be brave and put cook out of his misery

agree, if these two don't settle in we are in big trouble. Didn't see the logic of bringing in two spinners into the side either, we wont beat them that way!!Be very lucky if we make 200. This partnership is crucial I think. One more wicket and we'll fold I'm sure.
India will get 450+ as well.
Joke how fragile the batting is, on a positive note batting coach Mark Rampraskash is favourite for the Middlesex head coach job so hopefully he’ll get that and someone new will have to come in.
Yep. Time for the king is dead, long live the king.it needs some fresh legs at the open. We rarely get 100+ from our front two but we seem to switch Cook's partner to try and find that solution all of the time, lets switch Cook with someone else and look elsewhere as it hasn't worked for a while now. Big fan of cook but he hasn't performed for a long while and needs to be dropped.
just because he can dance doesn't mean he can coach.India will get 450+ as well.

Am I being harsh, or did Root have a point with his review?Waste reviews on the plumb LBWs so you can’t review the ones that’d be reversed!

I has only just switched on the TV and saw the slow mo and it looked plum to me.
221-8.
In the grand scheme of things that's not too bad. We looked like we would be well short of the double ton at one point.
