Excellent contribution of 44 runs from Jamieson. Gutted he didn't make it to 50, but plenty more opportunities to come., if the selectors have half a brain cell.

Interesting to see who misses out next game. Kylo, Timmy or the spinner? The spinner is the easy option

[Mokey]

@canefan I feel like dropping the dude who is in super form with both ball and bat would be a huge mistake, so more between Boult, Southee, Patel.

[Damo]

I don't think Patel will last long. CDG has a license to have a slash now.

Wags and Kylo need to play. That's an amazing statement

[canefan]

We will miss Wags in the next innings when we need someone to make something out of nothing on a flat deck

[canefan]

What a meek end after a nice contribution from Colin

[canefan]

The commentators talked about the Basin test vs the Lankans in 2014/15? We were behind by over 150, went on to post 500 declared in the 3rd innings and bowl out the lankans in the 4th innings to win. Worrying

[Mokey]

@canefan JINXING BASTARDS.

[Damo]

Why does Boult always bat 11? He's a better batsman than Patel.

Boult protecting Patel from the strike 👍

[canefan]

Trent is being a great pest. Brilliant job done by Jamieson, CdG, Boult and Patel to put on 130+ to wrest the advantage back to us

[Mokey]

All out for 348, and lunch.

[Damo]

I didn't think so live. It might have brushed the gloves but hard to be sure.

Not out.

[Chris B.]

@Damo Yeah - fair decision.

On balance of probabilities it probably missed the glove, but different angles suggested different things.

[canefan]

Jamieson looking dangerous

[booboo]

Ah, bugger this. Time for an afternoon nap.

I. Am. Going. To. Bed.

[canefan]

Unbelievably, Pujara shoulders arms and is clean bowled on the last ball before tea. Nice morale booster

[Chris B.]

Big wicket!

I was thinking we'd want a minimum of three - and preferably four+ - wickets by the time India get past our lead. Now we're still 105 runs ahead and Agarwal and Kohli at the crease.

We just need a couple of Indian errors in the next session and we'll have our foot on the throat.

[Crucial]

Meanwhile at Millbrook, it’s a cracker arvo watching DMac, BB, Goldie and Izzy smash it around in a T10

[Chris B.]

Timmy picks up Agarwal caught down the legside. Fielder is plonked right in front of hotspot, so that's no help - but, RTS and the batsman's reaction both suggest a little nick.

Tim fires enough stuff down legside, that I've got to think he's legitimately bowling for the strangle.
