England vs India, third test from Lords

England has won the toss and will bat

India (Playing XI): Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Karun Nair, Shubman Gill(c), Rishabh Pant(w), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Akash Deep, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj

England (Playing XI): Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes(c), Jamie Smith(w), Chris Woakes, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Shoaib Bashir
 
Nitish Kumar Reddy took 2 wickets in his first over of the match - nice to see somebody other then Bumrah in the highlights.

Additional item i saw, message from the MCC: "Due to the extremely hot weather forecast throughout this week, we are dispensing with the requirement for Members to wear jackets in the Pavilion on any day of this Test match. All other elements of the Pavilion dress code will remain in place (including the requirement for gentlemen to wear a tie"

Got to love Lords, I want to sit in that pavilion one day, very unlikely to happen, but would be cool
 
I have to say this. The slow and deliberate slow play in the 3rd England India test has been disgusting. They have deliberately robbed everyone of so many overs of joy. For the stadium and crowd who paid mega to be there, these guys should be penalised heavily. One over in the last 10 minutes of play was despicable.

Umpires have been weak as piss. Allowed both sides to get away with murder.
Then walking as slow as they can and taking their sweet time when changing balls.

It's enough to piss off the pope. They've got zero control over the match. Not even a single run penalty.

Both teams are guilty of this, and I don't really see the point. Also, wtf is it with all the ball changes? Never used to have that.
