England v India (2nd test) Lords

Hope he's hit this or missing stumps

Sorry

Poor umpiring that for me

We had a much better selection of batsman in the 90s. Atherton, Stewart, Thorpe, Hussain, Smith all averaged around the 40 mark at that time (Atherton and Hussain’s career average finished a bit lower). The system was a mess which completely hindered players like Hick and Ramprakash but it was a better batting side than this one.

The problem with all those batsmen, they lacked consistency, so could easily end up getting skittled for low scores, but I agree there was more quality in the batting line up then and we weren't reliant on one man.

FFS! Just when we were looking a bit more comfortable.

Nice little stroll with the hound, had to drop something into the accountants.

Have I missed much.........?

Footwork absolutely all over the shop.

I dunno. I thought out straightaway and drs shows it to be out albeit closer than I thought.

I'm following the day on BBC's live feed. Never noticed they had a count for how many people are viewing the page live. Almost 152,000 on the cricket live update feed and they say test cricket is dying

Excellent umpiring again.

if the ball is adjudged to be hitting the top of leg stump absolutely flush by Hawkeye I think it’s good umpiring that he’d been given out!

It just looked out.

Once again DRS had the ball dipping after contact. An 85mph ball from a bloke 6 foot 5 was dipping. Really?

See above.

Apologies in advance but Hameed looking solid

Just reported this

What was that? Fielder stopped the ball, then oddly lifted the back of his sweater and shirt up, rubbed his hand on the small of his back, then then immediately started rubbing the ball with the same fingers????

I gave it out first time as well. Just looked out to me. Hameed trapped on the crease.
