Unfortunate dismissal for Pope. Was certain he'd hit triple figures.

Hope The Met give him a pasting.

Woakes showing how much he was missed with bat and ball, lovely knock from him, edging towards a lead of 100

[Guest Chocolate Teapot]

Virat spent most of that innings shouting about how England hate runs on the board....🤣

[Jimmy]

lead of 99 then, decent bowling conditions for Anderson and co and a good recovery from the middle order

[EastAnglianFox]

Everytime I see Woakes bat he looks more like a proper all-rounder, why does he seem to come in at 9 or 10 no matter who's picked

[RowlattsFox]

How good could Woakes be if he was even half decent away from home. Really likeable guy. 

[Super_horns]

Woakes really showing his worth to the team with bat and ball.

[Stinkenzo]

How hard is it for security to have got his ticket details from Lords and alerted them here to check if he had a ticket and void it? It is beyond cringe, anyone who is good at being funny knows not to overkill the same thing Whats more annoying is seeing his twitter and even him commenting on shite thats not even cricket related on facebook basically with "its me!! im the guy whos running on cricket pitches for attention!!!1"

Met him 2 years ago at Villa's training ground. We were there to interview Jack Grealish (he was doing it for Football Focus, he's a big Villa fan).

Really nice guy, gave me his number, sent some photos of him doing the interview.

Quality cricketer too.

Could be a long day in the field for England.

 

 

[RonnieTodger]

The calmness of these two compared to our lads at the top

[coolhandfox]

Crazy not to have a 3rd slip in, when you have the other team at minus run.

[deejdeej]

How can Rahul deny he's hit that?! 

[StanSP]

Been out all morning. Solid foundations being made by top order, Pujara turned up again. Still Kohli to come to add a big score hopefully. 

[StanSP]

Just seen the Pujara ankle-roll. Ouch! 

[LVFox]

Situations like this is where you realise we really lack a quality spinner and miss the pace/bounce of a Stokes or Wood

[StanSP]

What the actual hell was that review 

 

Think that's worse than any one Kohli has done

 

[StanSP]

So glad for Sharma to FINALLY get a ton outside of India. Lovely innings. 

[StanSP]

This match is very finely poised. 

Only day 3 as well which adds to why.

Yep, shaped up to be a cracking end. I'd still put you guys as favourites right now.

Depends if we can hold out til the end of today. Too tough to call for how even the morning will go tomorrow, let alone the rest of tomorrow! 

 

I think it's just purely in the balance. The last 45-60mins goes to show just how finely and quickly a game can turn. We were comfortable, new ball comes in and we lose two wickets. Then for the rest of that time the momentum and crowd was fully in England's favour.

Classic test match cricket love it.

Jack Leach has always bowled well in England, this is where not having Stokes hurts as you need the extra batsman to allow Overton in
