Eng vs India - First Test - 20th-24th June

Mental how the cloud has come in and the floodlights are on just in time for our lot to have to face Bumrah.

Nice 470 on the board for the tourists too.

Reckon we’re cooked.

Not bowled more than 10 overs I'm a day for about 4 years, not a chance

Yes I'm surprised he's not involved, even Luke Wright more or less said he'd play tomorrow. No mention of why he isn't in the Sussex squad announcement.

Because Headingley has stayed flat in recent years. England chase well and the record at Headingley supports batting second. If we had bowled them out for 400 they would have felt OK about that.
