Still no TV announcement, unless I've missed it. It would be a shame if it ended up on some Mickey Mouse subscription channel that nobody watches.

I hope it's right, but that still contains lots of speculative phrases, and no official announcement from C4.

Crawley a doubt because of injury

Waiting to see who C4 have employed very quickly to commentate

Play starts at 4am GMT, so lunch at 6am, tea at 8.40? Coverage finishes at 11.30am

I dont know the timings, just a guess...

3rd test is 9am GMT start so much better, day/night in India

Unless i fall asleep on the sofa this evening there's no chance of me getting up at 4am (esp as i have the day off tomorrow) so maybe i'll aim for 6.30 laugh
Cheers for that

Decent start for once by England. Think the Sri Lanka matches were a genius idea as preparation.

Is this why I cannot find TMS to listen to on the wireless?

Yes.

I've not listened this morning but in the past it's not been too horrendous, but it's not great.

It’s ok - not had an advert yet so I’m guessing only at significant breaks in play. I had the horror of every over in my head.

Never mind the rights look at the cricket!

So happy for Sibley, we really need a reliabel opener and he is looking good. Not sure about Lawerence at 3, I think it might be too soon for him. Used to be that new Test batsman were given time at five or six to open their careers.

Lawerence is a real talent so I hope England don't burn him too quick.

Root is just in a propoer purple patch, fantastic to watch him. I really hope the India bowlers become sick of the sight of him walking out every session !

Concerns that it’s a bit flat, England will score 400 and feel good. India then post 550 and spin them out in the second innings.

Also, just seen a picture of the ball. eek
