Sounds like it may actually be a bad day to bat so early. Ball must be swinging all over.
A greentop. Guaranteed England will fuck it up.
England 78/0. Scores level but all 10 wickets still in hand for England.

England 280/2. Lead is over 200 now.
get the lead to 300 and declare
Root is in imperious form. Up there with Williamson and Smith now. Kohli’s 19 innings without a century.
333/3. Ton up (again) for Captain Root on his home ground.
378/5. Lead is up to 300. Captain Root still there on 116 not out.
root now 500 from 5 innings
root gone for 121. surely nearly time to declare?
No declaration, we’re only on Day 2 still. Pile on as many runs as they can before they’re bowled out.
Would a declaration at this stage make it more likely that India would throw a nightwatchman in to open the batting, thereby giving England a good chance of an early 2nd innings wicket?
fuck it crush them by an innings
