Classic Crawley leave... I'm sure he leaves it in his head. That came off the middle!

This was my reaction exactly.

A long way to go, but I'm past caring if we lose. It's fun

Woof. Get back to leaving Zak!

But generally, this is just fantastic cricket. First half of the summer has been an epic advert for test cricket. Endlessly good stuff.

Yes - this. And going on for pretty much the full 5 days, with no idea who's going to win. It really is amazing to watch.

Crawley wants to put that shot back in the locker room.

E2a: but otherwise, I concur. This is nuts/fantastic to watch.

That was a bit dopey. If he wanted to be back in the pavilion that badly, he could just have retired hurt...

Collapse is on...

Pope doing his best to follow Crawley back to the hutch here.

A run out in this situation is criminal. I don't like blaming Root, but...

Oh dear.

India showing all the class you'd expect

Yep. There was no single there. Such a shame for Lees. He'd played beautifully.

Free tickets for day 5 again...

Kohli really does have a bit of a spoilt child complex, doesn't he?

Yup. Been excused on the basis of his sporting prowess but he acts like a brat.

Been excused on the basis of his sporting prowess

Might be understandable if he were scoring runs for fun. But this barren patch is whittling away at that. I've no doubt he is still a class batter, by the way, one of the best. And his batting in full flow is awesome and extremely enjoyable to watch. But sportsmanship doesn't seem a skill he has developed much.

Does he even realise he's no longer the captain?

Red head cricket

I would do horrible things for these two

Epic batting.

That's the spirit!

That's the spirit!

I can't be arsed watching. Foregone conclusion..
