Sad to see Geoffrey not in the commentary box. Saw an interview with him on GB news and he looked really well.😊 He's been through alot recently health-wise. Looks like hes tea-total too as only Nigel had a pint in his hand. |

He’s been making controversial remarks as usual  ..... he says female cricket ‘presenters’ are ok, but they shouldn’t be allowed to comment on men’s teams as they don’t have experience of playing with or against men He doesn’t say anything about male commentators on women’s matches Quite a few people rather annoyed, but I don’t think what they’ve said will keep Geoffrey awake at night..... |

Test match on a knife-edge. Could go either way. A rare thing. A 5 day test.

Root is a very good batsman, but would it be time to try a different captain?? Anyone here remember the days when Mike Brearley was brought in because although he was only an ordinary bat, he was a very astute leader? Wouldn’t work these days, times have changed  |

First time ever English opening batsmen are out for a duck in the same innings in England. Astonished by that stat.

I thought I was hearing all the wrong names when I was watching the highlights.! Maybe we shouldn’t speak too soon, can they keep it up, could all go India’s way tomorrow!

The TMS gang were debating whether this was the most hirsute opening England pair ever. |

Sad to hear the passing away of former England Test batsman Ted Dexter at the age of 86. RIP.
