  2 down. Their bowlers are putting ours to shame.

  Crawley must be one of the worst openers in history.

  Brook gone. All over before lunch and a loss of nearly 500 runs. Must be a record

  Stokes out in the last over before lunch. Not quite as bad as thornbury's last post, but a massive blow to lose Stokes.

  Stokes gone in last over before lunch. He just can’t play spin unlike Gill who can play any of our bowlers.
  It’s a waste of time going off for lunch as the last 4 wickets will go for about 6 runs in a couple of overs.

  Stokes is an all rounder, Gill a specialist batter.

  An all rounder should be able to do both. He hardly bowls these days so he needs to start contributing more.

  We’ve been humiliated in this test and India will be well up for Lords especially with Bumrah back.
  We need a complete bowling change but who is there.
  Doesn’t bode well for the Ashes as the Aussie bowling attack is even better than India’s. Luckily their batting line up isn’t as good as India’s so our inept attack may be able to cope.

  Could be something special going on in Zimbabwe who are in the field against South Africa whose captain, Wiaan Mulder, is 367 not out at lunch on day 2, closing in on Lara's record 400no.

  Or maybe not, he declared at lunch leaving himself stranded on 367no 😂🤣😂.

  I think he did himself a favour. Getting the top score against one of the weakest Test teams around would take the shine off it. Not decrying the feat itself just that it would be a bit hollow.
