Although you can hardly call one of these a top order batsman!

They are top order batsman because they bat at the top of the order

Shame on me I didn’t read the attachment and just assumed he was referring to the current game.

Think that was his highest score in tests.

Yes sorry meant the attached game.

Hopefully we will wrap this up tomorrow.

Probably will but india are making a fist of it

I did say yesterday that there is time for India to get 500-odd or more on this flat pitch and give us an awkward 4th inns run chase.

Not saying that will happen, but there has been some funny stuff at Headingley over the years.

Need some early wickets tomorrow to try and put that threat to bed.

New ball is vital - need to get Kohli out ASAP.

 

[Jim_AFCB]

Well there's two early wickets we so badly needed.

Pant in. Can he do a Botham?? A not dissimilar position to the Test match on this ground 40 years ago......

Edit: 3 early wickets. England bowlers getting the rewards they didnt get yesterday. One more wicket and we're into their bowlers.

 

[Ivyhouse]

All over by lunch ?

 

[retro red]

Great bowling this morning.

 

[Jim_AFCB]

India lost 8-63 this morning.

Didn't really expect that this morning, though to be fair England bowled excellently with the new ball yesterday without getting the rewards they deserved.

Sets up the series nicely.

Could go either way, the weather could play a big part though.

4th Test starts next Thurs... weather likely at this stage looks to be set fair.

 

[Mark WFC]

Root out cheaply for once.

Need someone else to step up ..

This test won’t last more than 3 days either .

 

[Mark WFC]

Woakes really showing his worth to the team with bat and ball.
