Potts has got Vihari out LBW. Looked plumb

Potts has just bowled Kohli!!!

Kohli tried leaving it but it caught the toe end of the bat and dragged it on.

Potts has now taken the wickets of Williamson and Kohli in the same summer. Not a bad start to his Test career.

Pant and Iyer don't look like they wanna hang around and rebuild here, they're playing their own version of "Baz Ball". There's a fifth (and possibly even sixth) wicket up for grabs here.

Iyer has gone!

Great catch from Billings (who is in for Foakes) off the bowling of Anderson. 654 Test wickets now.

Balls moving around a bit here, two lefties are the crease. I think if we're taking Potts out of the attack, it should be Broad coming on.

Stokes has chosen Leach to try some spin though. I understand because both Pant and Jadeja are very attacking against spin. So there's a possibility of a poor shot choice and getting a wicket that way.

Pope has got a camera on his helmet at short leg, interesting views.

Stokes has brought Broad on to replace Jimmy at the other end.

Now Jimmy has come back on to replace Leach. So I'm guessing the over of spin was just to change Jimmy round.

Rishabh Pant is a bit of a player isn't he!

Two records for Broad in the India innings.

He went for the most runs ever in a Test match over, 35 in total.

But in better news, he did pick up his 550th Test match wicket when he dismissed Shami. And is only the 6th person in history to achieve that feat, which is F***ing remarkable. To have both him and Jimmy in the same team is a real joy to behold and we need to appreciate the pair of them while we have them. He's now 13 wickets behind McGrath, which will be just as good an achievement as it was when Anderson went past the Aussie who was the greatest pace bowler I've ever seen (though I'm putting Jimmy ahead of him now).

Was just coming in here to see if this is legit and you just confirmed it!!! 




What the actual F**k? 

Stokes gave India 3 easy chances to get him out sadly they kept hold of the third one.
England still on the front foot trail by 260 4 wickets in hand go down fighting seems to be the new mantra

What the actual F**k? 

What do you F***ing Aussies know about cricket anyway?

Poor batting performance up and down the card, Bairstow aside. Back with the ball in hand and Anderson has taken the first wicket of the Indian second innings, taking his total to 657. Just 51 wickets behind Shane Warne now.

To do what he's doing at his age is ridiculous. Nearly 40 years of age and still the best in the world.

What do you f**king Aussies know about cricket anyway?

 

Yeah not much 

The Broad dismissal of Pujara looked like a no ball. They didn't check it looked as if Broad overstepped.

378n the target 99 -0 lees 54 Crawley 45 this would be a hell of a run chase but they have all day tomorrow to do it.

Crawley's wicket was a poor leave. Best he's looked all summer though.

Final session of day 4 just about to begin with England needing 271 more runs to win. And first ball of the session, Pope has edged behind to Pant.

India now need 8 wickets to win.

It's gonna be a good one, that's for sure.

Lees run out now for 56.

Embarrassing.

I can never remember an England side with a target of 378 to chase in the second innings getting anywhere near it we had a monopoly on collapses. Now most people see this as a good opportunity and we are close to 5 run an over and some big hitters to come in crazy how quick the attitude has changed

Yet another Test match 50 for Joe Root.

Best batsman in the world.

Really happy for Joe and he seems really happy now too the England Captaincy weighs heavy on some shoulders. Come on England keep it tight for the rest of the day

And now Jonny Bairstow has reached his half century.

What form this man is in.

India are now trying the New Zealand tactic of bouncing out Bairstow. It didn't work for the Kiwis and judging by that first hook for six from Jonny, it's not gonna work for the Indians either.

can't believe I am watching England chase down a big score again and look so comfortable wonderful stuff
