England bowled poorly today after a decent enough start, coupled with poor bowling on day two. Definitely a rethink needed as not only does the current attack look toothless, they also struggle to give the captain any control. I imagine at least one of Tongue or Woakes will be replaced with...

Am expecting to go to Old Trafford 2-1 down as England have a poor record against India at Lords. India are also a much better side in all departments.

Crawley needs dropping

Still no declaration….I hope there’s some rain tomorrow!

Bash has got Gill cheaply….less than 200

Maybe they’ll declare when Gary Gill gets his second 200!

Famous for once taking a set off Matts Willander…..got a job in the media through connections in Surrey!

Not the best, but that’s politics

Great game of tennis. Sabalenka’s a big girl like!

Look forward to The Gazette reviving their Fuchs Off headline when Fruk gets his first red!

Surprise surprise smoking and vaping is legislated to make it harder to do legally so they go underground and organised crime thrives. Nothing learnt from years of the so called war on drugs, more effort needs to go into tackling why people turn to drugs, drink, smoking etc.

A very strange day for England….usually with a three hundred partnership would be happy. However, India very much in control. Apparently rain expected on Sunday.

These two getting frustrated. Someone needs to remind them we are 300 behind not ahead!

Just to clarify I wasn’t suggesting him as a frontline spinner, just looking for a way to get him in the side. At the moment we don’t have a test standard spinner. Obvious position is instead of Pope, but he’s vice captain. Perhaps if Stokes could bowl more overs….it’s a conundrum!

Smith definitely should move up the order, perhaps at the expense of Stokes. I think we need to find a way to get Bethel in. I personally don’t rate our spinner at the moment, there’s potential there but as no county wants to give him overs he’s having to develop in the Test side.
