It was fun while it lasted. Will they take it into a fifth day?
Only if we get a third innings

Irony :-
The two batsmen best suited to one day cricket, playing for England in this match, are the only ones able to bat responsibly in this test match.
I think it’s less to do with which form of cricket it is and more about the talent and character of the personal.
Some of our top order batsmen are just not good enough or good enough anymore
There is a first time for everything I suppose.Irony :-

I disagree with that entirely. More and more batsman are shaping their technique and how they play the game around T20 and 50 over cricket as it is the more popular (and therefore more financially rewarding) format of the game.

As for the test series as a whole.
Still seeing the same problems as there were during the whole of the winter. Doesn't matter who bats at three if they are in there before that shine of the new ball is gone. The last two matches have had the gaping fucking chasm that's existed in this line up since before last winter.
Thank fuck we were carrying two extra wicket keepers in this test match otherwise we would have been totally fucked, right?
it’s about mentality and talent all other countries have the same issues and they don’t have the same problems with their top order
Errm....Cough Cough....we may now!it’s about mentality and talent all other countries have the same issues and they don’t have the same problems with their top order
Well India did in the first two tests.
