Start the car. Beauty from Stokes.
It did keep rather low though, horrible ball to get but.. Its a 5th day wicket in India so it happens.. That old Off stump has had a busy day.

Certainly did. Day 5 pitch in Chennai playing remarkably like a chalk surfaced council wicket in Sussex after a bit of rain in the week :lol:

Phenomenal performance and Root proven correct again with his declaration.

Great performance from the whole team, but particularly captain Root. Backed his bowlers and proved correct :thumbsup:



(oh, and a double hundred)

I love Joe��
"Having spent more time on that wicket than anyone else, I felt I was the best judge on how to play our second innings".

What an excellent test match that was. I thoroughly enjoyed watching everyday of it.

The mind boggles how anyone can think that the hundred can compete with that. Also the perfect answer to the ECB when they were looking to attract new fans. Don't rewrite the game with some horrific new competition, just show a test match between two great teams on terrestrial tv.

This shows the value of a proper warm up (although it's harsh to refer to the Sri Lanka series as that), as England have hit the ground running. Please someone take a note of this for Australia.

not sure why they didn't go for the follow on ....

Because they didn’t want to bat last, on this:
