Hameed with no immediate impact, knocked over for a golden duck.
England 3/119 at stumps day two, trail by 245.
Burns 49
Root 48* (Now has the second most runs for England in test match cricket, moving ahead Graham Gooch).

WIndies at stumps 8/251

Brathwaite 97
Holder 58

Abbas 3/42

England v India, lunch day three
England 3/216, trail by 148.
Root 89*
Bairstow 51*

India briefly had an extra fielder after the lunch break; some 'extra' from the crowd kitted up in India gear, with JARVO 69 on the back, took the field. He was pointing to the insignia saying he was an Indian player as he was caught!

Funny stuff aha, the look of disdain he gave the official telling him to get off the ground after he pointed at the insignia on his shift was gold.

England 4/256
Root 115*, his 22nd test match century and his seventh against India. Sobers, Richards, Ponting and Smith have eight.

It's his fifth hundred this year, the last Englishman to score five hundreds in a calendar year was Ian Bell in 2011. He now has 9000 test runs too, he's the second youngest to the mark behind Alastair Cook.

India v England, stumps day 3 and England are on top. They have a lead of 27 after making 391, Root 180* and his average is back to just above 50. Siraj took 4/94.

Poms on top, Rohit just fell for the trap, couldn't resist

Real pity we won't have all of Wood, Archer and Stone for the Ashes. We actually had some decent quick bowlers now it's just wood left and he's only good for 2 tests a series.

Compulsive hooker!

India effectively 2/15.
Pujara still on 0 after facing 31 deliveries and really finding it tough to hit the ball off the square. Alot has been made of his form (along with the form of Kohli and Rahane) and his place in the side and you can see why right now.

This Pujara/Kohli v the England bowlers is a great battle to watch.

Off the mark after 35 balls.

Kohli gone

India in all sorts now

Strange seeing Pujara struggle

Not that its overly important given the circumstances but does the goings on in Afghanistan at the moment potentially effect their cricket status or even development of the sport.

This graphic (the Jimmy Anderson 5-fas at lords) really annoys me.

What order are they listed in?

It's not alphabetical by country.
It's not chronological.
It's not sorted by bowling figures.

If someone could please find some logic to it I might be able to get to sleep tonight...

I think that one against NZ might be 2013, not 2003

India 6/181 at stumps day four, lead by 154.
Rahane 61 (146)
Pujara 45 (206)
Wood 3/40

Overnight the West Indies won their test match against Pakistan by 1 wicket, chasing down 168 for victory.
