I really, really want Ollie Pope to come good. Such a talented batsman in there.

We need him to be this generations Ian Bell, or Robin Smith.

About time a magistrate locked up that fat dickhead pitch invader for a couple of nights, so he can reflect on how unfunny he now is.

How is he even allowed in? If football, if you did that you'd be banned from attending for a long time.

Presumably each ground works individually, whereas if someone did it at the Amex and Selhurst (for example) they'd get a PL-wide ban (and likely EFL-wide ban too), so Lord's don't pass on the details to the Oval etc.

Just watching the lunchtime documentary on black players.

Utterly shocked by home DeFreitas was treated by the National Front. A real eye opener.

Same here. So sad to hear how these England International cricketers were treated.

 

[London Irish]

Yes it was a shocker, those were tough times back in the day in Brent. I was a contemporary of de Freitas and Chris Lewis, facing them in the nets as a youngster. Phil was a confident bloke despite what was chucked at him, Chris much quieter lad

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Advantage India.

Will need Pope and Moeen to build a partnership to get back into this.

Ollie Pope 51* (92 balls, 6 fours)

England take first innings lead

Eng 192/6 lead by 1 run

Paridy, as our favourite Aussie commentator would say...

Looks like a small lead on the cards.

Yes, I can't see the lead being more than 50, sadly.

Woakes is a decent bat , is he not ?

 

[MJsGhost]

Double Nelson does for Moeen

Batted nicely Mooen, but that's a pretty ugly way to give your wicket away, given the current match situation.

He tried to cream it, when he should have just milked a few

Nelson....

Not his fault.

 

[jakarta]

Easing ahead, need 70 plus lead for it to be significant. Woakes and Robinson can both hold a bat so not impossible.

 

[jakarta]

Dozy field positions, don't think Kohli will be seen on Mastermind any time soon. 50 lead up...
