The rain means that enforcing the follow on is the sensible thing to do. I'll provide enough rest time for our bowlers.

That's very generous of you there old bean.

Bookmarked for the next time England batting squad definitely need a play rained off to rescue a draw scenario.

They are back on, 1 wicket down & Wood is looking a little lively .

It's been great to see the stumps flying today, not just in the context of the match, but for it being a rare and unusual sight for four out of five wickets to go that way in the modern game.

2 down

Now 22-2. Trail by 268.

Considering the amount of "Delhi Belly" for this tour the performances are good with the new guard standing up to the mark with bowling and batting.

I wonder if Anderson will call it quits soon? He's done great service over the years but when the bell tolls?

Interestingly, Broad was written off before James, but still going strong !

The England Bowling line-up looks fine going forward.

Same for the batters who seem to be be melding well at the top end.

Happy optimism ....

He hit that. Ridiculous decision by the Turd Umpire.

[Black can man]

Cannot understand why Root doesn't have more men around the bat.

Maybe i'm being a little impatient .

[Black can man]

4 down

Root is bowling grenades here

I hope he doesn't come to regret the two wasted reviews.

[spikeyhead]

Five down

[Black can man]

Could be 6

What a st review !

Root has 4 ! unbelievable Geoff .

[thegreenhell]

There's no way that Root is going to take himself out of the attack now with a 5-for in the offing.

One of the worst reviews I’ve ever seen ! Let’s hope it’s not costly.

This England team really feels like it has an exciting future.

Given the amount of breakdowns (physically) Wood has had, it is madness to think he will regularly play a five match series for England. M When fit though he is excellent.

Quiz question. Who is the England captain to take 5 wickets???

No cheating...

[FiF]

Well you said no cheating so my guess is Beefy.

Interested to know the answer.
