36 overs should be enough

Totally thrown this test away, poor from England and captain Root
White ball cricket seems to have prevailed again

Oh fack fack fack

Run a ball centuries for Moeen and Jos here and we win the game.

Met office saying rain at 5, we just have to somehow survive until then

You can cut Root some slack. We’d have lost this on day four without his 180

35 overs to survive

Eh? This hasn't been lost due a greater focus on white ball cricket! In fact if there was more of a focus on it, we may not have decided to go for a short pitch barrage to Bumrah which has arguably cost us the test.

Phew. Game over if Kohil caught that.

Sitter dropped by Kohli!

Was a poor shot from Jos to be fair. VK was running off celebrating in his mind before he caught it. Like his did earlier didn't even acknowledge the bowler. Biggest cant in cricket.

Said captain Root, his captaincy is abysmal, schoolboyish

There used to be a time long ago when bowlers aimed at tailenders stumps, they don't seem to do that now, and not set fields to enable the bowlers to do this

32 over to go but bad light will knock a load off. 20 overs will be sufficient.

Bizarre time to attack Root, along with Anderson, he's the only thing great about this test team at the moment.

Any sign of any rain?

How is that different because of white ball cricket? The best ball in the shorter form is the yorker, full and straight, at the stumps.

Could do with an Ashwin here to mop up the lefties

its getting dark Kohli can see the ball anymore

I'm surprised BOTR hasn't shown up yet, been invisible since Burns and Root got England's first innings going but now we've blown it, he can come on here and let off some steam.

He’s probably fapped himself into a mild coma

I'm straining my eyes watching this on tv it's that dark out there.

I don't mind people having a moan, it just tickles me when people only come on here to moan but disappear when the team is doing well.

Moeen should just get his pad out to the ball and hide his bat behind to pretend he's playing a shot.
