[slogen51]

Stokes gone to what sounds like a sweep

England 50-6

The talk sport commentator is really getting on my t1ts

[slogen51]

England 50-7 after 25 overs

Fair to say this is a sub par performance

[slogen51]

England 82-8

Foakes out to Jadeja

Not looking too good but England might be able to get back to Dubai early for some Golf

[slogen51]

Hartley out to Ashwin going for a big one

91-9

Jimmy in with Wood and a smile on his face!

[Gary]

Woods goes down swinging. India win by 434

[slogen51]

India win by 434 runs to go 2-1 up in the series

England thrashed all out for 122

India won the toss batted first and batted well to get a good score - at one point India were 33-3 and England in reply were 207-2 !

[captain scarlet]

Absolutely pathetic effort,

supposed to be a test match and getting out playing T20 rubbish. All this talk of bazball, may as well call it jolly boys rounders!!!

Wonder how this pitch will stand up after Stokes' comment about he's 'never seen anything like it'...

Yes, both teams have to bat on it but I recall along time ago a test being abandoned in the WIndies after Walsh & Ambrose opened on a pitch that was disintegrating and deemed unfit by the umpires.

[Gary]

England have won the toss and will bat first. Let the fun and games begin

[Gary]

Crawley just had his off wicket smash but Deep luckily over stepped. The pitch is looking very tricky. The later innings could be carnage. 9 without loss

[Gary]

Duckett survived an LBW shout on review. England not learnt from the 3rd test trying sweeping when facing spin.

[Gary]

Reprieve didn’t last long for Duckett, caught behind for 11. 47 for 1

[Gary]

Pope gone for 0 LBW after a review. 47 for 2

Roll on 06.30 I can go to bed and not watch the train wreck. Guessing when I get up, the innings will be over for about 250

[Gary]

India have just review another IBW shout Root first ball. Luckily not out.

[Gary]

Deep gets Crawley this time. Gone for 42, the carnage is continuing 57 for 3

Can see England questioning the pitch more officially

[Gary]

Bairstow gone for 38 LBW. 109 for 4

[Gary]

Horror show getting worse, Stokes gone for 3 another LBW. 112 for 5

[Gary]

No way should that pitch have been allowed at test level. Off to bed, can’t wait to see what the pundits make of day one when I wake up
