Wasn't his brother a boxer or something? I agree people doing that to him are out of order.

Aye the spinners definitely weren't as good as in Rajkot. It was starting to turn a bit and reverse by the end though so hopefully we can make use of it in the morning. I doubt this one is going to end in a draw.

He's never struck me as the nicest of blokes mind so, whilst I hope he hasn't done it (both for the team and for him), it wouldn't surprise me if he had.

I think one of the papers are suggesting that today. Not a great defence that like. The Chronicle are suggesting that he's saying he didn't say what was alleged though.

Aye I assumed he was from Wallsend, he's always kicking about round here.

Very much India's day and in particularly Kholi's. That third Wicket for Anderson lifts us a bit. I think we should have took the new ball a bit earlier though. Desperately need a quick breakthrough against these two in the morning.

I think it will get harder and harder to score and not lose wickets on this pitch. I don't think it will hold up like Rajkot. I think you're right about the alternative Alex.

And he's got a couple of Wickets now so it doesn't look like a bad decision. Really needed that.

Aye they said he was struggling. I think they were also thinking Anderson wouldn't have to bowl that much on this pitch so it's not a bad way to ease him in.

I think I'm surprised it's got the reception it has. I did enjoy it for the most part but I doubt it will be something I will watch again.

Happy birthday young un.

Not a great deal.

Arival. Not sure about it. Hollywood keeps trying to do intelligent sci fi and very rarely seem to get it right.

If this pitch goes the way they think we're going to struggle to get anywhere near them this match. It was a big moment Rashid dropping Kholi. Think Cook has made a couple of iffy decisions starting Ansari with the spin and not having a better fielder in Rashid's position.

Apparently he has a witness. I hope he's not claiming that he wasn't there at the time. I don't want to be called as a witness for the prosecution.

Kids made of paper isn't he. Can't see him ever being anything other than massively injury prone throughout his career now.

The latest episode of Westworld is quality. Easily the best yet for me.

Think we had the measure of him the last few times we played against him. Wasn't he always out LBW against us? He was certainly a hell of a lot better than the players they have playing now.

Well yes he wasn't great but he was a genuine all rounder for them with a decent test average batting and bowling over a decade and he was a player who had a bit of fight. Their players now look more timid than I've ever seen them.

Over the last couple of years they've probably had more collapses than us. Their batting line up looks really shaky. Smith and Warner are clearly quality players but there's question marks over Khawaja (although he's looked a good player of the last year or so when I've seen him in various formats) and likes of the two Marsh's, Voges, Nevil and Burns don't look good enough to me. They gave a debut to a 31 year old in this last match too and he averaged 2 I think. They've lost a lot of good players in the last few years (Clarke, Rogers, Johnson, Harris, Haddin, Watson etc) and they seem like they're struggling to replace them and it doesn't look like a great sign that they're bringing in players in their 30's as their replacements. Think they might bring a few younger players in for the third test.

He was fit last week wasn't he? Leeds are pretty irrelevant to me. It's only their relative geographical proximity to us and the fact they have one of the larger supports in this division (when they bother to turn up) that makes me care more than any other game. That said, I'm going on Sunday and really looking forward to it. But probably no more than I was Barnsley or Preston.

Another piss poor performance from Australia I see. Their batsmen look terrified. It'd be nice to see them continue in that fashion for another year or so. SA'a bowlers look superb mind. And that's without Steyn or Morkel.

It's got to be Diame for me but I wouldn't be surprised if it was Colback or Anita should it come to it.

Has he ever played there? I don't like playing players out of position.
