Poor batting coupled with fine bowling. I think we should follow on now to get it over ASAP.
Are you watching the replay?

That was unlucky for Pope, but it's nice to see some attempts at positive play. The pitch seems a bit more true today compared to the shocker of last week.

England getting out to the variation again, especially Stokes. Thank god we choose a long tail. Bairstow redeemed himself. England just aren't that good at playing spin. Still perhaps India will struggle against the triumvirate of Bess, Leach and Root.

Decent knock from Lawrence but it's fading quickly now

With the ball already going through the top maybe 200 or so isn't that bad, if we bowl anything like ok.

Not managed to see anything yet - how's the pitch looking? 2-Day, 3-Day?

Damn, forgot this was on today. In my mind the series was already finished. Hopefully it lasts more than two days this time.

Better pitch, plenty of bounce, India getting spin bowlers in very early on. England will want Anderson and hopefully Stokes (who has the sts) to start our defence.

It's not like the last pitch but it's not a road either.

200 seems a bit short but I suppose we'll know for sure before the end of the day.

13 overs or so for us to bowl I think.

Michael Vaughan has it down as the a 250 for 4 or 5 and we were awful.
Shows what I know.

Poor Jimmy left stranded as the not-out batsman once again, having already beaten the scores of both openers and the captain.

Not bad from England on day 2 so far.

Making a much better fist of it. Need to keep the pressure on though.

Kohli's having a bit of a mare.

I will preface my comments by saying I haven’t seen any play yet as I have been busy. However I would say I am amazed at how well Jimmy looks like he is bowling just from the stats. What a champion bowler this guy is.

I wish I understood the umpire's call rule. That Bess lbw shout ball was hitting the stumps. confused
