What a win.

Virat gone.  
England need 2 wickets 
Fantastic 

I think slip catches off fast bowlers are very rare in India. 
More catches in front of the wicket where the ball sticks in the surface. 
Amazing to think what a difference a coin flicked casually in the air can make to a five day game! 
So pleased we were able to bat big. 
400 would have lost us the game and at 60-odd for two we would probably have taken that. 
So many heroes for England. 

All wrapped up.
Terrific performance from England, won probably 12/14 sessions in the match.
Think India might have had a bit of a hangover from their Australia tour as they were off colour throughout. 
Potentially fans are allowed for the next test so maybe that will wake them up.
Magnificient win from England.

What a win.

Cook waxing  lyrical about it. 
Anderson sending stumps spin is such a sight. 
 

Stellar performance from the bowlers today. Thought Leach was excellent, Archer at his hostile best, but Jimmy Anderson take a bow son. Just brilliant. First blood to England and it seems we have a proper series on our hands. 

What a win.

What the deuce was that?
It was like when we were kids and we couldn't get the stumps to stay straight because they'd been knocked over so many times.

Brilliant from England. 
All doubts erased. 
Well done everyone! 

I think the pitch isn’t helping India.  There is a spot on the wicket being utilised.  Anderson has been fantastic at it 

Oh stop it now! 
 
 
 
* he had actually looked like he could bat all day long ?

Just a mention for  Jack Leach
Superb today 
9 down.  
One more for a fifer and a win for England 

Kohli will take most of the strike and has looked untroubled so far. 
Edit: Or Stokes will blow him away!
Even England can't stuff it up now.

What a goal by Foden 
What a Footballer 
1-4 to Man City 

Never thought (as a Ram) I’d say this, but Roy Keane.... love this guys honesty and his opinions. He never beats around the bush. “Liverpool are bad champions” ??????????

Shame to get out in the last over of the day, but still England's day.
Need another couple of partnerships tomorrow. Pitch has looked dead.

That must make you Jack Curtains..... ?

I’m fine with him beating Leicester.
Still remember our playoff defeat at Wembley and that Harkes miss haunts me .  

I really like Gary Neville in commentary.... that was pure class today.....
Re Shakiri ‘ He’s built like Maradonna’ 
Neville reply......‘I was thinking more John Moss’ ???

That drive home was horrendous. Not just because I had an MG Metro either 

Thanks all, it is a beautiful course. Played twice with my lad in the last few days of it being open, including into near darkness on New Years Eve. Didn’t think about anything else, didn’t even worry about my wayward shots-just enjoyed the beautiful course and being with my lad and thought about the many afternoons I had spent with my dad and his mates when I was growing up. 
 
Feel free to pass the details on to your friends. The more the merrier, it gives a faint glimmer of hope in these thoroughly miserable times. And I agree, these ‘mind spaces’ are going to be so so important going forwards. Doing all of this through COVID as well seems a little too convenient to me.
Anyway, thanks to all those who have signed. 

Me and the wife have signed it
