    Thought the cricket was going to get me through the morning but looks like I'll have to concentrate on my work. More overseas shipping today, deep joy post Brexit;)

    He’s already increased his average!

    His high score is 10*, let’s see if he can improve on that!

    Great Test Match.

    I don’t think the Channel 4 coverage was great, but it was very last minute put together so it can be excused I suppose.

    It’s nice for it to be back on Terrestrial TV though and it seems like it’s captured the imagination of the public!

    4-76 off 26 overs.

    For both Bess in the first innings and Leach in the second!

    Probably means something!

    Brilliant win, perfect performance. Big runs first up in the sub continent is so vital, you can see how the scores drop off in the second and third innings.

    Joe Root is now level with Michael Vaughan with 26 wins as England captain.

    I guess it’s just a lift from Indian TV. It’s just different that’s all.

    It is, I meant more in regards to the studio setup, interval content etc. Not a patch on sky. They missed a few balls while playing adverts too.

    In the last 55 years only Brian Close and Mike Brearley have higher win percentages as England test captain.

    I think coverage has been good considering they didn't know they were having it until a week or so beforehand. I loved the first session with no adverts at all. Hope the viewing figures are such that they get more test series in the future.
