This is crazy... 1st 3 balls of England's 2nd innings: wicket, very close Drs, wicket

And Joe Root ended up with 5-8. He might regret not bowling until the 42nd over.

Wicket 1st ball, Bairstow given out LBW but overturned on the 2nd ball amd then bowled on the 3rd ball.

I can hear Bill Lawry shouting "It's all happening here"

4th ball misses the stumps by a bees dick.

There's a fair chance this game will be done within 2 days.

These pitches in India need a massive overhaul. Disgraceful for the game. Test over in two days...

India are untouchable- they do as they want.
They’re going to be what the all blacks are to rugby - unstoppable

England selection panel should get a bollocking. Three quicks plus Stokes on that pitch?

Yes they got in wrong in that respect, but the fact remains that the pitches dished up are indefensible. Two bloody days for a result. Not what we want to see

Bit of everything there.

Great coverage at the shield game - looking at the back of the umpires head is great stuff

Ffs amateur hour

Bit of an old story, but still an interesting insight into the demise of Zimbabwean cricket.

Tatenda Taibu: ‘I should have been Zimbabwe’s poster boy but I was on the run’

The youngest captain in Test history tells Donald McRae how standing up to Robert Mugabe’s enforcers forced he and his family to flee the country after a kidnap attempt and death threats

5 days should be the absolute maximum a test should go for, I hate cricket on roads.

It’s a Test, it’s not essay cricket or group presentation cricket - it’s a Test and it’s not for everyone.

Just switched on the T20 in NZ, Finch on 55 (9x4's, 3x6's), mustn't feel like running too much.

edit, i think 4's and 6's are for team not him alone.

Is it played on the last Indian pitch?

A green top in Abu Dhabi. The bowl has spun more than it has seamed or swung, which makes it even weirder.

Gotta feel for Afghani debutant Abdul Malik

Bowled for a golden duck in the first innings. Lasted three balls in the second for another duck

 

[Flawed Genius]

Just having a look at the highlights from Day 1. Look at the bloody size of the Zimbabwean opener!
