India continue to dominate on the second day.
No surprise really.

Our young spinners have done a brilliant job compared to expectations, but India still have the best quick in the world and three world class spinners. |

My ratings for the England players in the series.
Crawley 7 averaged over 40 for the series
Duckett 6 decent century and a few 20 to 30 scores
Pope 5 one brilliant century in first test then garbage rest of the series
Root 6 2 decent knocks and a few wickets but not the Joe root we are used to seeing
Stokes 4 used his spinners well but his batting was terrible
Bairstow 5 no score above 50 shouldn't be in the team
Foakes 5 good glove work as expected but no score above 50 probably will be dropped for the summer tests.
Ahmed 6 took some good wickets but batting wasn't great for somebody that's meant be handy batter.
Hartley 7 took over 20 wickets in series plus made a few handy 20 or 30 scores with bat.
Wood 5 no threat with the ball and had one good batting innings where we hit a quick fire 30 odd
Robinson 5 got a useful 50 with the bat but bowling was poor and no threat
Bashir 7 played 3 tests and took plenty of wickets so looks a really good find by England.
Anderson 5 didn't take many wickets but was good to see him reach the 700 test wickets mark.
Leach 5 left tour due to injury didn't do much in first test really anyway
Lawrence and Atkinson didn't play

I don’t foresee us being able to compete with India in Tests, cricket has become a minority participation sport in this country whereas it’s played by millions in India.
How many State schools offer cricket on their sports curriculum? I’d guess it’s a minority.

One milestone from this test series though, Jimmy Anderson has become the first pace bowler to take 700 Test wickets.
An amazing achievement.

Ollie Pope making the number 3 spot his own. Not really watched any of these so far, but shows how different test cricket is than it used to be. 416 runs from one innings from a day one! |

Due to personal reason now can't attend the Saturday, 27th, at Edgbaston next week. 4 tickets just listed for Resale West Upper Block 242 Row S - Ticketing WebsiteThere not showing up at the moment so I'm assuming they will at some point later today? Edit: just checked their offices don't open until 10am so nothing will probably happen until then? |

I blame the demise of the forward defensive stroke. Nobody uses it anymore,just want to swat the baly thing to the boundary 😳...bring back Boycott😁...make cricket boring again😄 |

West Indies a different proposition in this test match, could be on for a first innings lead at this rate.

S Joseph WI #11 just taken 16 off an Atkinson over (2x6 1x4) to take WI from -6 to +10 (426-9)
The 1st 6 landed on a tiled roof and some tiles slid down on the spectators below - hopefully no serious injuries
