Did anyone do that quiz BBC had on their page of trying to name 25 of the Test players that have played for England in the last year? I got 23 ffs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
25 is a lot of players to play in the last year. I got 24 in about a minute then I almost ran out of time before getting the last one.

England win the toss and Root elects to bat. A bit of grass on the pitch means it will be a tricky morning. Just what Cook will have wanted in his final game.

Thought this had just been played for the last 2 months? Still no winner?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
England won the series after the last test Baz
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So, why bother playing this?

Who would you suggest as an alternative?

If you go by county form, he's pretty good there for Worcs

James.

Fυcking.

Hildreth.

Or, in this test to ease the transition...

Rory.

Fυcking.

Burns.

Because we don't like cricket, oh no! We love it

Moeen is like our best test spinner if he plays i'd have him at 7 personally. It is difficult.

Cook

we can all agree the top 3 needs sorting

Burns is an opener, he'll come in for Cook after this series.

Don't think they've even considered Hildreth

Nice ovation there for Keaton Jennings in hopefully his final game for England

I've been having this same conversation with anyone who'll listen for the past year

And a bunch of people who don't want to listen too

Strike rate of 150, England's answer to Warner

I don't like what Cooks done here, he's made this test match all about him (especially as the series is won). He should have played the game then retired, I want to enjoy the coverage without people constantly feeling the need to pay homage to him.

The whole thing has a bit of a Phil Taylor feel about it which can't be a good thing.

S/R down to 60 now. Facking loser.

Indian pace bowlers not used to long series. Pace down for both at 80-82mph. Early in the series they were hitting 90mph.

Even Bumrah? Stuck at work, can't watch

Wow, 10 overs and England haven't lost a wicket

Calling it early, this match is going to be a draw even if we get 5 full days.

I actually hope that happens, because it necessarily means that at least one of the two teams will have knuckled down and batted properly.
