Superman stuff, looks like the operation worked.Not a bad run out that by Stokes.

She might be getting her wish In the next 15/20 minutes.What a day this has been. I’ve had it on in the background whilst in the gym and now glued (wife is desperate to head out for the day but I’m not budging )
We could indeed - England now 1/7 with the Bookies.I'm enjoying this, but we could still lose it
We had more than a few comments after the first couple of days saying Hartley was out of his depth playing in this his first test match.
Nice little cameo with the bat as well.
I wonder if he’s read this board and got fired up?
Yeah but this isn’t the norm is it…this is incredible.India have never lost a home Test after taking a first-innings lead of more than 100 runsPeople who are all doom and gloom in the first couple of days forget it’s over 5 days and two innings.

Classic post from the mushroom-in-chiefPointless selecting Hartley who hasn't proved anything other than average at County level.
We will do well to avoid a 5-0 thrashing.
I bet Aus are regretting the decision of declare, unless it was an injury.After a dismal 1st innings with bat and ball, for which I was critical, the turn around has been incredible. They've given themselves a great chance of pulling off one of the great overseas victories.
A special mention for West Indies also, what a win and test match that was. It highlights just how much we need to protect the best format of the game.
I wouldn’t class these two as a tail so to speak - as they can both bat.Hartley back on against the tail . . surely we need more fielders around the bat?
Probably because he's a leggy and be expensive if he doesn't get it right.Why is Rehan only bowling his second over?
Have I missed something is he injured?
His first went for 12 Jaffa so I guess it was just damage limitation.Why is Rehan only bowling his second over?

Like thatProbably because he's a leggy and be expensive if he doesn't get it right.
Yeah tail was the wrong word but just thought at the time with Hartley bowling they needed more pressure around the bat. They have scored a few more now and looking more comfortable.I wouldn’t class these two as a tail so to speak - as they can both bat.
After these two we have cannon fodder - famous last words!
Yep it’s theirs to lose now. Need to get one of these out asap.Old saying I know but we really need to break this partnership sooner rather than later.
Needing 112 to now 58 is getting rather worrying now.
To be fair to India they've done really well to get so many on a difficult wicket after England shelved the bazball in the second innings. Isn't test cricket just wonderful.It's an anti-bazball wicket that's going to explode in the 4th innings. That's if there is a 4th innings. I don't think chasing 150 on it would be fun.
Absolutely superb England, and especially Hartley.
Agreed but only just - a brilliant come back from Hartley.Pope MOM though
Nathan Lyon isn’t a bad replacement mindChuffed for Hartley
Figures of 7 for 62
To be selfish for a moment, the downside being that Lanky are likely to lose another player to England
Agreed but only just - a brilliant come back from Hartley.
I’m guessing the best figures for an England spinner for many years.
