This also shows the stupidity of starting on a Wednesday it will be all over by the weekend and they wonder why crowds are down

5th day should be on the Monday if possible. Never understood why they put the best days on before the weekend.

They have had years of selling out so have pushed it and it’s failed

Scheduling next test starts Thursday and they have to have a 3 day gap

ECB fault for putting 5 tests in 6 weeks it’ll ruin Anderson and broad

Still got to pinpoint Kohli drops as key for this game and possibly the series.

Another drop by Malan.

England really don’t deserve to win this test.

Think we will give it a good go, but I don't think 194 is going to be enough. 220-230 might have made all the difference.

I think we need 4 down tonight to give us a chance.

Need more than 4
Attacking fields another 25 overs in the day they’ll be 110+ by the close

Agree as long as one of them is Kohli. If they're 6 down at the close but he's still in, I'd give them a chance

Hard not to fancy India for the win whilst Kohli is there even with 100 needed 5 down

So character building statement win for which side today? All about Kohli or will someone else stand up?
Desperately need an early wicket or else India will just tickle along to win.

That's a terrific test match.
Do like a low scoring Test.
2 quality attacks, mixed Batting, fielding brilliance & dross mixed in, not a bad wicket adding up to a great Test.
Thought they'd thrown it away with 2nd innings but pulled it out the bag.
Now to Lords and how do they cover Stokes absence. Will that pitch suit Curran? Keep Malan one more game on his home pitch? All adding up to an exciting series.

It will be Ali or Woakes for stokes, malan must be on his last chance but who for will probably end up being ballance but it needs somebody who can bat a long time like Trotty

Well did any of us see that coming when Kohli was flying and we didn't out enough runs on the board?

I was convinced India would win, but I think Curran's knock made all the difference.

Edgbaston delivers again!

I think it’ll be Ali or Woakes for Stokes depending on the wicket & Ollie Pope will get a left field call for Malan....

What a shock Pope of Surrey called up has Ed Smith not got a company vehicle and relies on the Oyster card he only picks players south of Watford, first bowling injury and he will be seeking out Steve Finns fitness

Just not cricket!

Player on 98. 2 runs and it is his maiden century. 2 more runs to win. Bowler then seemingly bowls extras directly to the boundary on purpose, rather than bowl a playable ball, thus losing the game for his team, but denying the batsman his century.

Hmmm....

Just not cricket! Club bowler's actions stop batsman making maiden ton

Unsporting and a bit pathetic but not against the laws.

Yup. It's the childishness of it I think isn't it.

If that were me I'd be trying to get him out.

So Pope for Malan. is in form in CC so it's how progression to Test side should work. Just 15 CC games is still making it a big step-up. But these kids seem fearless atm.Batting order to be shuffled as he tends to bat at 6?
Can't help thinking India will bring in Pujara to bring in a slow-scoring batsman for others to bat around. Don't think we have a similar player.
