Choking?

Is this Lord's or Mumbai?

Pressure is on! Can Root bail them out again?!?

Most definitely. The man is in the form of his life.

Root to carry his bat, England all out for 180! Confirmed!

Bairstow or Buttler should be given a license to see if a quick fire 70 or 80 could get them close. Otherwise I can't see this being anything but a draw.

ENG 67/4

EDIT: Of course, this is taking into account that the England batsmen can actually hold a bat...

 

[Agent_Smith]

Oh lol, now they are done. 67/5

 

[Neoprod]

The weather / light might bail them out but they've been outplayed today.

Makes me sad to think about how easily this England team bossed us at home last summer (excluding the first test where they all had food poisoning).

I think we've grown since then but you are right, this england team is very average at the moment.

 

[Speedster]

India is really humiliating England now

FTFY

They will most likely still beat Australia or even Bangladesh if they are lucky

England 120 all out ... what a turnover from this morning

 

[Neoprod]

Hammered! On a dead pitch!

Hammered! On a dead pitch!

Let's face it. India won it under one day.

 

[Neoprod]

As well as India played today, England getting bowled out in under 2 sessions on a pitch that was doing nothing for seam or spin is disgraceful. That top order needs a rethink and Stokes is being missed badly.

Great couple of test matches though with the WI game.

 

[3WA]

That was awesome! Well played India!
