England cricket

I thought so. Im sure Stokes had his reasons. Not sure what they were though.

Have we really not got a better bowling attack

If we havent, Ashes is gone

In Leeds the atmosphere is heavy as fuck. 
 

If they can play round the rain ball might well be moving like mad. All like the forecast said yesterday. 

 

People saying should have batted but Indian Captain said he would have bowled first too, so maybe not the strangest shout ever.

Zak Crawley should thank his lucky stars that his Dad is Rob Key's golfing buddy

Bumrah is a hell of a bowler.

Theres hardly a queue of candidates to replace him

Fwiw, if he goes to australia, i reckon he scores more than duckett

[BobyBrno]

Bugger!

Good knock Mr. Cherrington Brook.

[Lt. Aldo Raine]

I really think they'll struggle to bowl us out when Bumrah isn't playing

Kinell, it's a bit of a road, against a decent team.

Does that mean the Indian bowlers are also a bit pants?

TMS were talking about how many Games Archer would have to play before he would be considered for England selection later in the Summer.

If fit, there is another bowler for us, and one with super pace.

Duckett 100*  less than 200 required now.

 

Hope the rain stays away

Been raining on and off all day over here.

Worrying now they have gone off of they need to wait for a clear patch rather than playing through the showers.

Still looking very good.

Only a brief hold up for rain.

Tremendous test match, and it would be yet another fantastic chase if they get there.

hes certainly come on leaps and bounds

still fear for him against pace and bounce, but who knows

[Sweep]

it's a bit edgier now...

[Casino]

aye, one more and i'd take the draw

but thats not the england way

[Ani]

Every time you think we are getting there a wicket (or 2) go. 
 

Very twitchy if/when they get new ball

[Ani]

Never in doubt

[Winchester White]

Superb performance that.

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Brilliant. 

Well done.

[jmjhb]

Cracking chase.

India's tail collapse in both innings meant we were always in with a chance.

[Lt. Aldo Raine]

A great end to a good test match

Judging by the fact only about 2000 people watched it in the ground yesterday, you're probably correct
