Under-par of course, but it's hardly like India have played spin better than us either...

As Strauss says the non-turning spin ball does the damage again.

Never a 205 all out track - even with 8 batsman they’ve been poor again

Don't disagree but very pleased for Lawrence showing a bit of what he can do.

Pujura looking ominously untroubled.

TBH the thing that has most pissed me off about this series, is not our batting, or the pitches, or selection rotation thing...... It's the commentators!!!

They are spoiling very enjoyable and watchable test cricket with the most biased and ridiculous tripe I have ever heard in any sports commentary. I really do find it hard to believe how someone of the ability and experience of Gavaskar can talk so much (No Swearing Please)!

Rant over.

Remember when Michael Vaughan was a shrewd, winning national hero of a leader?

He accuses everyone. In Australia , he accused of crowd of racism (later given clean chit after investigation). Now, stokes . in the future some other accusations.
Accuser no. 1. Lollipop boy, shouldn't be playing cricket if is not tough.

One of our own is equally as bad...Swann. It's sound off for me straight away.

I grew up listening to Benaud and it's hard to top that, but some of them are awful.

Lucky that I'm in school (work) today so can't have sound on!!

Having seen the majority from half 5 I have to say there are some positives to take out of another crap day!

Pope and Lawrence look like they've really worked on their games and found a better method, admittedly were not playing on a ploughed field this week!
Were not actually out of it but need Bess and leach to turn up tomorrow with Jimmy, we have to keep parity at worst
Stokes seemed back to himself after a quiet series

Swann’s an absolute prat and The Indian commentators are no better.

The likes of cook and Strauss are a borefest. The best of the lot so far has been Ebony Rainford
