I'm amazed they've got 4 wickets TBH - decent effort

Anyone read Pietersen's article in the Telegraph this week? Said that new drainage has ruined pitches in England. Interesting point that, pitch looks suited to India.

Heard the Sky pundits talking about this. They said that is was rubbish. The reason that the pitches are dead is because the Test grounds want to make sure that they get 5 days worth of play and income. They therefore instruct the groundsman to make a strip that will accommodate.
I think I believe them as money is the driver for everything.

Good perseverance from the England bowlers = Indian tail end collapse

New ball due in about 20 overs, Kumar and Shami, should have eclipsed Agar and Hughes world record last wicket partnership, from last year at Trent Bridge by then. |

And Cook bowled for 5 against the least threatening opening bowlers around. Think it might be time for him to take a sabbatical, the signs are that he's not exactly thriving on the pressure and we need his batting back more than we need his captaincy.

My main concern is that Kerrigan has been hanging about....obviously Moores would like to get him a game, but the Indians will just dismantle the poor fella. I'm now of the opinion that if we have to pick a steady eddy spinner for Lords, then you've got to look at someone like Dean Cosker of Glamorgan  |

Unfortunately Monty can't even get a game for Essex atm, apparently his off field problems have caused some sort of meltdown, and his bowling has suffered accordingly. |

Brilliant innings from Root. Fair play to Jimmy too, looks like India lead could be minimal - great effort after being 202-7
