    The really frustrating thing is that it's not like England have been massively out of these contests but their failure to do some of the basics is really alarming and what will ultimately cost them a series win.

    Yeah. Lots of good moments in the series but some seriously brain dead cricket too.

    Well, and I appreciate it doesn't suit everyone, but that was yet another cracking day of Test cricket.

    I'd give anything to play in an Ashes series. I wouldn't be flouncing off injured like Pope and Robinson. No back bone or fight.

    1 off 19. A beautiful Pujara style knock. Just what the situation needed.

    Looking at the weather forecast for the weekend, those dropped catches could prove costly to any chance of winning this game.

    Should’ve been finishing today with a lead already

    Skybet as a boost have England at 11/10 to reach 300 runs. It really should be happening because it looks a very good pitch to bat on.

    On this wicket with those batsman and us looking to try force the issue because of the incoming bad weather, that bet doesn't look as good on paper as it should.

    weather forecast is rain from Tomorrow morning all the way through Monday , so England need to get move on today if they want to give themselves a chance to take advantage of any breaks in the forecast rain
