But then that one time he does connect.....
The tension in my living room has decreased rather a lot at that. 147/9, 46 still needed. |

It's probably still 60/40 in England's favour but it's not like we're whistling past the stumps a lot at the moment. |

Series context is less edgy here at least, then 2-0 Australia would have probably meant no Ashes.
It's going to be hard for either team to win this series from 2-1 down but not impossible.
The match is getting tense again, drinks may not be a bad thing for England here. |

More likeable without Kohli who somehow manages to be graceful in defeat but utterly graceless in victory.
Big partnership in the context of the game this one, India right back in it even with 81 needed. |

Yeah, the target is still quite small so one decent partnership gets India close enough to put England back under pressure.
The timing of the next wicket feels critical. |

But with Rahul gone too it's looking good. |

Still seems a low target and with Rahul in India can still get there but Jof getting Pant so early tilts things very much in England's favour.
The best thing may be there are still two more Tests to go. |

His first over yesterday was great to witness, it definitely woke everyone up from the torpor of the heat. Absolute delight all round at his wicket too.
Still a lot of his bowling is fast for the sake of it, needs to hone that a bit more and keep the more effective start. It might just be that he's best in small bursts and should just play limited overs stuff. [Post edited 12 Jul 17:40]

Lord's was roasting today, even in the shade there was so little air movement it felt cloyingly humid.
Been a good couple of days of cricket but looking forward to just being at home for the weekend. |

Quite. There was a real risk we were going to end up stuck in the third division with an occasional Championship season or two as the best we could hope for less than five years ago.
People claiming Evans was benign is up there with people thinking Paul Cook wasn't an utter failure here because we signed some good players he couldn't get anything out of. |

I think we'll only know at the end of the Summer when we have our full squad. As you imply, there's a fine line between success and failure here but, given the gap last season, it's right to be ambitious.
I would feel more comfortable with a midfielder in already though given we need at least two, maybe three, players there. |

Yes, it's not been able to cope with the passenger numbers at busy times for at least a decade and it's a really grim experience then. Like you say, some times it's really easy getting through but... |

Not forgetting that teams who start tournaments excellently, never ever fail to win them comfortably. |

Yeah, and I don't think the OP was suggesting only one midfield signing is enough, but we need at least two very capable signings in there and either Taylor/a third signing to make four options. |
