If they had named it West Midlands Something and played the odd game in Worcester then fair enough. There are a couple of counties not represented: the smaller ones of course. Somerset have nothing I believe.

England's tactics to the tailenders awful. Crowd the bat and bounce them out.

Working well isn't it At lunch on the final day tailender Mohammed Shami who averages a touch over 11 with the bat is 52 not out and his partner in crime Jasprit Bumrah who averages a massive 3.5 is 30 not out. Both batsmen are currently on their highest scores. Dismal

Line and length bowling just on off-stump, and be patient. It's disappointing that England's bowlers, including Anderson do not understand the basics, just because its the late order. Add the TMS hysterical commentary, and I am taking a break. Why does that woman raise her voice 3 decibels, for a leg-bye?

The first time in 531 Tests that England have lost both openers for nought. Edited by Stirlingsays (16 Aug 2021 2.31pm)

India are the better side and that's playing on our pitches.....and their best batsman Kohli hasn't even scored a fifty in four attempts.

Can we survive with Joe gone? It doesn't look good, Buttler dropped twice already. Rain? Don't think so, but light won't be great.

Thrilling watch, need Buttler and Ali to hang in there - I’m backing them to get us close to the finish line. What a great Test match; India dominating the start and end, England winning in the middle. I think a draw would be a fair result but we need to dig in to get there. Real shame we could kick on after the Pant wicket. Sibley looks out of his depth, I expect Crawley to come back but he’s out of form too. Wood flinging himself to stop a boundary yesterday has proved costly - can’t fault the effort but it’s not worth the risk to save a run.
