Shows just how good Hartley was in that second spell that Pope didn't get MOTM with what must go down as one of *the* great batting displays in modern times.
Brilliant finish to both games but neither available on free view and now sky have lost the rights to english cricket I cannot believe many people are watching this series. £18 a month for TNT sport, I couldn't find a pay just for the test matches in India option.
Even worse is it's on before the pubs open so you cannot even watch it there.
No wonder Test Match Cricket is dieing.
Such a shame that a huge amount of people are unable to enjoy one of our finest ever hours in test cricket.
US right-wingers claiming Taylor Swift is a deep state sleeper agent because she is likely to support Biden?
I realise in one way this is just old white men finding a young woman to bully online...but has politics really dropped so low?
I daresay if the Orange Revenger gets in again, there will be calls for Britain Trump to be reinstated and that Brexit banjo plucker from Mumford and Sons to be made Master of the Queen's music.
Have you seen the other sporting news today? Lewis Hamilton on the verge of moving to Ferrari F1 team? How awkward is that going to be in Ferrari and Mercedes this season?! 2 drivers knowing they won't be there next year, Lewis will prob end up letting Charles Leclerc through while Carlos Sainz will refuse to listen to any of the team orders / instructions.
There needs to be some governance from the ICC over the pitch quality. While I get and understand that the conditions will often favour the home team, creating poor wickets just spoils the spectacle of Test Match cricket! It's been clear that the quality has been sub-par over in India. The Indian Cricket Board can't point the finger at finances when they have the biggest T20 competition along with the stadiums and attendance, something needs to be looked into.

Anyhoo, to liven things up in the tearoom last week I suggested Steve Davis at his best could have beaten Ronnie.
I’m taking my tea breaks in the car until things settle down a bit.

Any NFL fans? Especially ones whose teams are still left in on Championship weekend (Go Niners).
Seahawks fan here, rooting for Detroit or Baltimore to win it all this year
Against any other team, I'd love to see the Lions do it!
I’m genuinely of the opinion that we should use this thread to talk about Wycombe games…
A hell of an end to the cricket
First time India have ever lost a home Test after leading by 100+ runs after the first innings
Hell of a day for Test cricket, two wonderfully entertaining matches with nail biting finishes.
Sensational win for England. Up there with the Botham Ashes game.
Viva Test cricket 🏏

How Pope didn't get MOTM is just crazy, we would not have won that match without that innings

Formula 1 is not a sport.
It’s extraordinary news isn’t it? Exactly the shot in the arm F1 needs.
Isn't it a bit hard to drive a car if you've been shot in the arm?
I think you're thinking of rugby
Two dying "sports", they should just combine the two to make a new sport that's actually watchable.
Rumours in Italy suggesting that the deal could be for this seaon.
That really will screw Sainz over then! Or are they thinking of swapping the drivers?
@floyd Where have you seen that rumour? All of the UK media (BBC, Sky etc) all have the move happening for the 2025 season.
somewhere on Twitter. Who knows! It seems unlikely but not impossible to me.
Americans manage it everyday.
They usually drive through a pile of empty boxes though.
Great effort today from England in the test match !

The BCCI run the ICC don’t they?
