In the old days when rain stopped play for a period they would show an old Test Match between the two protagonists but today they decided to show a rerun of a women's hundred match.

How can they call women's cricket "sport" when so many of the players are obese?

Apparently the men use the same pitch after the women have finished with it and I'm guessing that it must be pretty lifeless after Lizelle Lee and Anya Shrubsole have pounded up and down on it as they both come from the Razor Ruddock school of fitness

Well done Jimmy. Root's dropped catch unforgiveable. I was almost angry on Jimmy's behalf.

Red and Blue Army!

Poor fielding and poor captaincy costing England

They need over 350 to have any kind of a chance. That doesn't seem likely considering the pitch and conditions too. The fielding mistakes are unforgiveable. There will be some hectic fielding training sessions between the tests.

Red and Blue Army!

Rooty to the rescue, masterly batting.

He has done more rescue missions than the RNLI.

Looking better 25 ahead with two down, from a high quality Indian attack.

Wonderful match, I think we’re just on top. Still runs to be had on that wicket. Why on Earth the players are coming off for light when we’ve got floodlights on. This sort of nonsense doesn’t help Test cricket.

This should be on a separate thread as responses just give the toxic Hundred more air time.
