Just saw the score: are they playing in a stadium on a pitch, or in someone's backyard?

Pitch and cloud cover look a little more like England in May, than a traditional pitch in India...

[Donsteppa]

Yuss. Thankfully someone can catch Rishabh Pant. Damage limited.

Looks like the groundskeeper is gonna get fired....

[No Quarter]

OK we are fucking rolling them, this is crazy. Only problem is we're going to bat too soon on this pitch so may not fare a lot better.

[No Quarter]

8/5 in the last 30 balls, awesome

[Donsteppa]

Getting past 26 might be an achievement. A few thick outside edges through vacant third man maybe.

[No Quarter]

It was really stupid not picking Henry against Sri Lanka, he's one of our best these days

Just sums up the Gary Stead regime over the last couple of years.

Wtf is going on. Last time I saw they were 3 down. Insane.

Seam and bounce... Bumrah will be looking forward to the new ball.

[Chris B.]

That was a great catch by Henry, as well.

Wrap these fuckers up - then, we're as good on seaming tracks as anyone.

Wish we had Little Kane, though!

Anybody else packing themselves we have to bat in these conditions?

Sounds like we have a better chance than on the usual spinning dust bowl. I'm too afraid to tune in now, don't want to jinx them

[Donsteppa]

O'Rourke seems determined for a leg side strangle.

[Donsteppa]

India all out for 46.

So we get to bat in ten minutes... can't find a hiding behind the couch emoji.

[No Quarter]

Absolutely incredible

[ARHS]

O'rourke looks like a real superstar already

bat twice

[bayimports]

Im not getting excited yet and @MN5 will ruin with his optimism, but that is a great bowling innings

[Chris]

We will be ok if we bat positive trying to survive will not work on this wkt.
If we are aggressive with out being reckless we can build a decent lead.
Play late.
