^^ Thought that might have been a record - joint - tied with the likes of Zimbabwe.

This is going to test the "no draws" rule....

I could certainly envisage it not being a draw!

In fairness, if they weren't them, India declare two hours earlier. Now they have to prove their full test match stones. Basically no-one out til the next new ball. Probably lose, but it's different..

Certainly not a draw. What we were doing first innings with that array of ducks is beyond me. Lots of records this game, one of the more interesting ones maybe is Zak has the lowest average of any opener to pass 2,500 runs.

Gill, I think I read is the only batter to get a 250+ and a 150+ in the same test.

6 ducks was the lowest number of balls faced to get them...

Pitch was not that easy to bat on against the new ball. Except against our worthless bowling attack.

We scored almost 700 runs in the test and lost by over 300.

You don’t need to be a genius to know our bowling was atrocious. As it was the week before, covered up by a record breaking chase.

But hey it’s fine we are beginning back lads who haven’t played any proper cricket for years….be reet.

I don't think our bowling is great, mate. I'm not sure how we magic some better bowlers up.

The first test, our 1st innings was nearly a match - 6 runs between the teams - which suggests they were par scores for reasonable batting, which considering they have Bumrah who is probably the class quickie between the two teams, isn't too shoddy.

Surrey scored 800 runs in one innings just 7 days earlier - we're not seeing a lot of "150 all out" wickets at the moment.

I do think we have too many problems with consistency in the bowling, but we were way below par in first innings, batting, too - best part of 200 short - which should have been in range with 2 scores of 150+ in the locker. 342 from 2 batsmen out of 407? Then we manage 271 in the fourth - but from 85-5.

England struggling again. In fairness India have bowled exceptionally well. It’s just we can’t match their bowling - not a chance and I fear on this wicket there is a reasonable chance India could score big.

*taps the sign*

It's all pointless until both sides have batted on it.

Customary England collapse. Of course Bumrah is unplayable but that’s the difference between the two sides - their seam attack is way better than ours.

Yeah a brilliant bowler. We can’t be blamed for not having a brilliant one but we don’t even have a good one.

We sorta have what we have, I think ideally you'd want a fit Wood and Jofra for Oz, with maybe Robinson, but they're all injurylawyers4u breakdown specialists.

And Atkinson.

Even if they are all fit 100% (which won’t happen) they still aren’t good enough collectively.

You can't magic up a bowling attack. :-)
