    Test cricket at its finest again. All day it felt like India were on top and then it all changes so quickly.
    Which way will it swing through tomorrow?
    The beauty of test cricket is when it feels like an epic tale.

    or given the score, they could have started tomorrow and just played the last 2 days and avoided all that sweating in the heatwave! :D

    I get your point! However age of the pitch, fatigue of the players, thats why its a "test"

    Zak Crawley has gone up in my estimations. Get him on the plane to Perth. What a bloke.

    Hope he makes a score today. He stood strong under some pressure for that over and ran the 2 when he could have stayed at the non-strikers end.

    That Bumrah delivery would have been at Duckett's throat.

    This pitch is starting to play tricks, good news for England if we can get a score. Be interesting to see how it plays when ball softens.

    Love to see him do that in club cricket he’d have been sucking the wide end of the bat :D

    Poor start so far.

    Big partnership needed.

    Zak Crawley out to a wafty ill advised drive?

    Never in a million years…

    What he and Pope have to do to be dropped I will never know.

    It is getting embarrassing how poor he is and yet he is continually selected.

    Crawley averaging 21 in this series with 1 score over 50.

    I'd take them both out for Dom Sibley and Jacob Bethell along with the ineffective Bashir for Jack Leach.
