England v India cricket.

For once, England genuinely batting like their 50 over side.
On another day we could well have lost another two or three wickets here. Either the pitch isn't as benign as suggested or India are bowling very well indeed.
Mike Atherton just mentioned there were 28 dot balls in a row earlier. Pretty far from Bazball but still interesting to watch in a different way.
 
England on course for 450 if the tail supports the batters.
 
How does Root go to 90 without you hardly noticing it, accumulation is the name of the game.

A fine innings every run had to be worked for, 250-4 is not bad considering the opposition.

With Stokes injured the balance swings to India but the pitch looks interesting and they bat last.

Stokes being injured is bad news for England. Can't see him bowling. Plus Archer may be dodgy too. Even Woakes was injured recently enough.
What do we pay the damn Physio for! Grrr.
 
301 for 7 still a good chance of 400+
