I thought the same. He's really slimmed down as well. Obviously not been working as hard on the farm as he always tried to make out.

Why? That innings was damn fine unfortunately for us. 2.5 days still left. Lot more cricket.
Anyone else finding channel 4's live streaming capacity totally hopeless?
It was a joke about all people convinced we should've declared.
No. Been almost perfect for me, so far this match. Just checked now, for your benefit and it only took 10 seconds to get a solid connection.
feck sakes. @Utd heap was right.
England are bowling very well.
Ironically, Gill, Pujara and Pant (who all aren't guaranteed a place) look our best bats right. Kohli and Rahane (the 100 aside) don't look good. We are going to lose this one, but hope we can pick up in the remaining tests.
Still a long way to go in this match. But what a start by the England attack.
Too pessimistic. We can draw this.
I have 30 years worth of reasons to be pessimistic. Would love a draw. Kohli's been out of form for a while, which is a worry
What a catch.

This is brilliant bowling & fielding, what a catch by Root.
Is Jadeja out of the series?
India in a spot bother now, scoreboard pressure is going to weigh heavy
What the fck batting is this? Indian batsmen have disappointed once again.
Btw - has Pant put on a few kilos?

Must be all the laddus he must have been fed after his performance in Australia.
Just knock it around and get it in sixes..
Cricket 07
44 more sixes to avoid the follow on.
Pujara is so good in Asia. Such a good shot just now to Leach.
Okay that is two very good fifties for two very different reasons.
What a session of test cricket. First hour 14 runs & 2 wickets , 81 in the next hour . Good bowling and great counter attack
Good batting by these 2 so far and oh not a single no ball by England..
Just waking up. Looks like Archer bowled superbly.
Pujaras such a good player of spin
Time for a bit of Stokes?
Mad that Leach bowls left-handed and throws right. Wonder if that will ever cause a run-out... Opposing players must forget that all the time.
Jesus Bess is a streaky bowler!!!
Such a bullshit dismissal..
Only way to get Pujara out
Looks like if you get yourself in on this pitch, there are runs to be scored. Just a case of surviving earlier on.
Yeah he was on for a double hundred there wasn't he.Only way to get Pujara out
Bess looks like one of those bowlers who'll take a ton of wickets with pies. Let's hope so anyway!!
Definitely, thought he was never going to be out.Yeah been lucky with a couple of them has Bess but has bowled well.
Leach should go round the wicket here. Make him hit that to cow corner against the angle.
Follow on incoming
He won't be able to hit the rough with that line. Essentially defensive line.
They won't enforce it. Will make us bat on the last day
That's fine though. If it doesn't turn and Pant tries to hit with the spin, even more dangerous.
