England V India Series 2018

I think it is harsh on leaving Curran out for Stokes as he performed so well I think in terms of the trial it should have been done and dusted a lot sooner (if it had meant missed the Ashes last winter) and Stokes if the same verdict that had been reached this week last winter Stoke would have been free for selection this summer. However there is still the disciplinary procedure of the ECB to go through and although I feel Stokes has been punished enough I do think the disciplinary hearing will probably impose some small fine on him and warn him of his future conduct.

England just about edged the morning session after taking a wicket on the last bowl before lunch. Woakes was the star performer with his 3 wickets.
India 82-3

India close the first day of the 3rd test on 307/6 - their best score of the series.

1st test: 274 & 162
2nd test: 107 & 130

India lost a wicket on the last ball of the morning and last ball of the day.

Good bowling by Anderson and Broad managed to finish of the Indian tail and restrict India to 329 all out.

But the ball was swinging and seaming all over the place.

I'm off to hide behind the sofa while England bat .
Let me know when it's safe to emerge won't you

Oh look another England collapse

England lose all 10 wickets in a single session and are 161 all out.

India are 280-4, a lead of 449.
Kohli is just out for 103, and we are just waiting for India to declare.

Shame that rain isn't forecast for the next two days

India declared with a 521 run lead.
England batted out a difficult last half hour and end up at 23-0
