    Shame they couldn't quite reach the 50 partnership before lunch!

    Highest first innings score by the break since 2017 apparently

    Great delivery, bye bye Bairstow! Still, we're doing OK.

    Stokes needs to try and get us to 250 min.

    Decent total this, if we could push to 250 it would be a good total. Rehan and Hartley really provided some impetus after we lost our way after lunch.

    They said the current wicket is in similar condition to 3 or 4 day wicket so 250/260 could be a match winner

    Shame about half the team got a start, but only Stokes pushed on.

    People saying this is a decent ish total. How do they know? Let's wait until India have completed their first innings and then we will know. If they rack up 400 plus then it's obviously not a respectable total.

    Tom Hartley's first ball in Test cricket is hit for a 6. I wonder how many times this has happened? Not many I would say

    I'm afraid England's bowlers have been taken to the cleaners so far.

    But how would they pay for it like I asked? Sky have made the right choice not overpaying for the series. For 2-3 days of each test, most people will only be able to watch an hour at breakfast at the most due to time difference.

    It isn't worth it for what should be 5-0 to India. We couldn't beat Australia at home, so will be lucky to beat India away even once. They have played Bazball against us so far.

    Having 2 very inexperienced spinners up against excellent players of spin was always going to have that danger. Particularly when at least one of them hasn't established themselves as a red ball bowler yet.

    What a superb innings by Pope. Let's hope he's still around tomorrow, but the Pope is usually busy on a Sunday.

    When Root is the best spinner we have things aren’t well !

    The team looks a batter light too

    Don’t think we’re a batter light. 6 specialist batters with Foakes at 7 and Ahmed at 8 doesn’t look too bad.

    Would be a much better team if you swapped Ahmed and Hartley for Dawson and Anderson though

    Anyone watching ?
    It’s turned out to be a good Test match after all and we’ve still a chance of winning … perhaps !
    If we can leave a target of 200+ it would be very nice thankyou.

    Leyth, I think and hope that Ahmed will be our regular test player of the future .
    He’s a potential proven all rounder and shows confidence and maturity for his tender age.
