Pitch is cutting up. India owe it to Virinder Shitwag for cashing in in the morning.
400+ looks a very good total and I think they'll get that. The likes of Bresnan are bureaucratic irrelevances here. Men of the day are Pujara and Swann.

I'm suprised cripps is missing the opportunity to post after a sehwag 100.
Sehwag's got a test batting average of 50, you can't say he's shit.
All fat jokes aside, agreed. He's played some brilliant innings, maybe the only one who could score multiple doubles and triples at more than a run a ball. Today he deserves his dues because most openers would have been content to play themselves in to cash in later, but he scored from the off. He's just annoying. Outside Asia he'll turn into Afridi and chuck his bat at everything costing India a good start.
He's also fat.
You need a different skillset to succeed in England, New Zealand, South Africa etc which he doesn't have. That's leveled out his average. Overall I'd still have him in an XI of the last ten years for his unique exploits.

I don't think we obeyed Cook and restricted India. 507-6, Pujara just got his double century.
India declared on 521-8.
England 29-2.
Compton and Anderson out.
Following on this time tomorrow...
And now Trott
31-3.
