I thought leach was unlucky as if it hadn't have got his toe and popped up he would have had it covered

Surely they can't have a repeat of Bangladesh. Bet kohli's going to regret not declaring earlier at some point.

Pretty amateur stuff from the ECB - should've done what all international sides do, play him till he gets caught. Ajmal made a career from chucking

Alot of players now days don't make a career out of it now its being pointed out more often

Ali's been looking to get out all innings. Been lucky to survive as long as he did.
What india would do for another 15 overs at england - should have declared earlier

course we can.


Is it a prettty flat wicket. Err yes. But it doesn't matter how flat the wicket is, if you start with men on the boundary have very little catching positions and bowl fodder, your not gonna take wickets.

And by allowing India to just cruise along to 7million runs, we put pressure on ourselves.

Kohli has just done a better job of maintaining that pressure.

Do people not know how to block or value their wicket anymore

I get play natural game but as a test batsmen you must be able to grind for a few overs and save a game

I do agree but also i would say that it is far easier to captain with the spin attack that Kohli has at his disposal and 700 runs on the board  ;)

And I thought some of Kohli's captaincy was very odd in the 1st session this morning.

We have gifted our wickets again and showed no bottle.... series lost already.... they really just want to be at home.
