There's another duck! 155-8.
England have lost 5-17.

first England innings could be all over before close of play today .... terrible batting display
Has there ever been such a gulf in form/success between the test and short-form England cricket teams as there is right now?!
agree 100% ^^India will post a good first innings total, which makes our performance with that bat look even worse. We are at home, and should be able to play accordingly in these conditions.
Michael Vaughan echoed my exact thoughts. Dominic Sibley is not at test standard, and he’s right about Dan Lawrence too.
India 45/0 after 26 overs. We are just not good enough. The bowling department is fine, along with the fielding. The batting needs to be changed dramatically, and we need a new head coach.
I don't agree that the bowling department is OK.India 45/0 after 26 overs. We are just not good enough. The bowling department is fine, along with the fielding. The batting needs to be changed dramatically, and we need a new head cocoach.

Anderson and Broad are near the end. We have no top spinner. Abroad we will rarely take 20 wickets in a match. Even in English conditions India totally out bowl us.
Still better than the batting though.
Jofra Archer been ruled out of the T20 world cup and the Ashes. Got a horrible feeling his career is gonna be a 'what might have been'.
I think he was over bowled in that first year he qualified for England - apart from the one day games, he was also bowling really spells in his first tests. I remember thinking at the time the spells were far too long for a strike bowler. He seems to have suffered a series of niggling injuries since then, culminating in a serious elbow injury.He does seem to spend a lot of time on the treatment table. No doubt he’s incredibly talented, just a shame he can’t stay fit.
Just saw the highlights - Kohli really doesn't want to walk, even when it is absolutely clear cut!4 India wickets taken .... afternoon session looking much better than these mornings...and much better than yesterday
proper pantomime villain is KohliJust saw the highlights - Kohli really doesn't want to walk, even when it is absolutely clear cut!
To be fair, he was never going to walk for that. Remember he didn't walk when he was Bowled by Moeen earlier in the year...Just saw the highlights - Kohli really doesn't want to walk, even when it is absolutely clear cut!
