205-1 now, Cook on 93. Taken 223 balls but well done to him for getting runs.

213-2, Cook goes for 95. Going down leg side, FFS.

Athers.

Say goodbye to your commentary career.

Ballance gets his century.

Good work by the top order. Ballance's 3rd century in 6 tests and much needed runs for Cook. Such a boring player to watch though. With KP not there, Vijay leaving every ball, Bell and Kohli off form this has been a dreadful series for style. Weather forecast clear for the next few days so good chance for England to win this.

Got tickets (very easy to get btw, still haven't sold out) for Tuesday. England to get another 300 runs tomorrow, and I might have timed it perfectly for the Indian innings

I won't get to see any more live play of this test. Starting on a Sunday is daft.

James Anderson's untrimmed beard thing he has going on suits him. Looks angrier. Important for a fast bowler.

England well on top.

Glad I couldnt turn up for this. Brainless batting to rival England's at Lord's.

England lead by 319 at lunch, 8 wickets in hand.

Also, this man retires from international cricket. Maybe the greatest allrounder of all time, certainly one of the best batsman of all time. Signature shot:

Actually looking at records, Sobers might be most peoples' first choice.
