353 all out could be decent on this track. Good knocks by Foakes & Robinson to back Root up.
We don't score many unbeaten tons in India, so fair play to JR.

Get Jaiswal out soon and we're looking at a reasonable lead.

Anderson on 696 test wickets.Ā 

New ball early in the morning- will he get to 700 this match?

Or is it 697?

Just been studying the stats; although he has played more tests that the two above him in the rankings, he has bowled fewer balls. A better strike rate that Warne!

That Root DRS decision was dodgy as....

Over half the ball was outside leg stump and was umpires call in Roots favour, yet went red and he was given out.

I don't think umpires' call applies to where the ball pitches.

Alistair Cook explained that the ā€œgraphicā€ shown on screen for us is just that, a graphic. Itā€™s not meant to be accurate. So the technology must have deemed that more than 51% of the ball was inline.

Yesterday was as depressing as it gets. I missed the early Robinson drop catch. This would have given us a possibly 80-90 run lead. And our batting at times yesterday was woeful. Bairstow straight after tea, shocker. Really felt he only needed to hang about for another 20 runs and we could have made a game of it. Also felt Robinson just threw his wicket away, like he couldnā€™t be arsed.

Proper gutted.
