Great news that test cricket is finally back on terrestrial tv*. Granted it starts at 4am, but that's the good thing about a sport that's on for more than 7 hours! (and the third test is a day nighter so will start at 9)

Hopefully it'll be a decent series, will be interesting to see how England fare in Indian conditions against a side fresh from winning in Australia. Looking forward to it!





* the last time this happened we'd just won 1-0 at Peterborough with a Gary Jones goal.

As an 80s child I took live Test cricket being on terrestrial TV for granted. It was like a comfort blanket whereby you could sit at home with it on the background whilst you did your Geography homework. Or you could go out and play footy with your mates for a couple of hours, you’d come back to the TV and Lathwell or JER Gallian had added about 3 runs a piece.

Football will always be my haddock and chips but a bit of coddy cricket remains a dirty and missed pleasure

Done really well today apart from one rash shot from Burns. As I type, Sibley gets out LBW to last ball of the day but Root still there and looking very comfortable. Definitely England's day.

Still batting at the end of day 2 with Root making another double hundred. Finished on quintuple Nelson for the superstitious among you. Looks to be a very good score but India are fantastic with the bat and we have lost before with this sort of first innings lead in Asia, so will have to bowl well.

Can't ask for anything more than still batting at the end of day two.

The knock from Root was brilliant and has just carried on his form from Sri Lanka. To bat so long there and here takes an unbelievable amount of physical and mental fortitude.
This is coming from a pasty ginger but I struggle to do anything when the missus turns the radiators up high!! But what an innings nonetheless.

It was indeed. He's one hell of a batsman.

First to score a double hundred in his 100th test, and moved up to third in the all time England rankings. Think it's nailed on that he will end up as our leading test run scorer.
