[hart's shirt]

I'm in the Hollies stand today and can report LIVE on all the beer snakes and fights in the post tea session.

Some photos to accompany the LIVE reports would be warmly received on here.

 

[Iggle Piggle]

Play about to restart. Everyone noticeably more pissed

 

[crodonilson]

This is a proper test of the red ball reset, encouraging morning.

70-3. Anderson vs his good mate Kohli...

 

[Iggle Piggle]

Meanwhile in the Hollies, a lad with a cone on his head has downed a pint. Banana splits 6/4 favourites to be ejected first. Beach Ball and rubber rings started in the stand.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Cheerio

 

[jakarta]

Potts does seem to have a useful knack of getting rid of top batsmen. Another bowler for Kohli to have a strop with... 81-4

 

[Machiavelli]

Anderson. Five down. Iyer gone, 98 for 5.

Don't you love reading the comments of the Indian Wankers on Cricinfo's Live commentary?

Literally ONE ball before the wicket Snehil: "Iyer and Pant giving a taste of Bazball to England. "

98-5

 

[Mellotron]

So odd seeing us finishing this test series as an entirely different side.

Good start.

 

[Questions]

Can we talk about Leach ?

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Can we talk about Leach ?

Think NZ made him look good. India make him look like a village bowler

 

[jakarta]

Already 50 plus runs to the good, can't see them being bowled out for less than 400.

 

[JJ McClure]

Shocking over from Broad, 28 off it so far with still 2 balls left

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Broad may be a great bowler but he must be thick.

 

[The Wizard]

WTF Broad

 

[LamieRobertson]

WTF Broad

Is Stokes still smiling?

 

[Bodian]

Already 50 plus runs to the good, can't see them being bowled out for less than 400.

400 up - mainly because of this ridiculous over! 35 runs - the most in Test Cricket.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

The last ball was the only one worthy of test cricket.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Bowl at the stumps FFS. Tail enders miss straight balls
