What a morning. So that's it! 278 all out!
All over before lunch! An innings and 76 run triumph! What a comeback after Lords.

I may have to eat my words if we continue like this...India: 239 for 5...the Jimmy has struck. 
Make that 239 for 6. Robinson looking for Michelle here!
Moen now in on the act with his 193rd wicket (level with Jim Laker!). India now 254 for 7. Feel sorry for those with day 5 tickets.
Olly's got his five! Wonderful stuff 257 for 8. Boy! am I glad I switched on TMS this morning.

I can see India piling on the runs, taking a lead, then bowling us out for peanuts!

It was nice to see the batsman rotate the strike to keep the score ticking over which is something Root does and makes it look so easy. Hameed took the pressure off Burns by scoring at a decent rate and Malan looked good. Bairstow got a decent ball but looked good up till then. Agree with Buttler doesn't look comfortable at all. Moeen threw his wicket away again which is a shame as he is much better than that but Roots knock was magnificent and with the others scoring now means we are in a postion to win. Oh dear we were in that position last test lol.
On a sadder note i see Chris Cairns had a stroke whilst in surgey and at present is paralysed.
Hope and pray he can make a full recovery.

I just watched the days highlights, mostly positive apart from joss, that's a man who needs a break 
Hameeds technique against short stuff looks worrying, the way he ducks and turns away, especially when I noticed he doesn't have the neck protectors on his lid. The one that caught him bought back memories of Phil hughes

Now THAT'S more like it! Make 'em suffer today, boys...this wicket is made for Joe and if they try that silly stuff against Jimmy again, I reckon he'll knock the cover off!

I reckon Mahmood might get the nod for his pace just can't see us scoring enough runs the Indian pace attack is firing on all cylinders and look at home in our conditions.
Good article by Rob Key.

Yeah got a few bowlers out now but it's our batting that's letting us down.
