Alfred: "I can't help wondering what might have happened to Mason Crane and other tried-and-discarded spinners if Stokes had been captain. A captain who knows how to work with spinners (without being a spinner himself) is gold."

Geoff: "I started off as a Bazball scoffer. Then I became a Bazzball sceptic, a Bazzball doubter, a Bazzball neutral and now, as much as it pains me to admit it, a Bazzball believer. This is remarkable stuff. Also, given both the Australian men and women lost, possibly the worst cricket day ever."

Jack Leach to Ashwin, FOUR, square of the wicket

Ben: "It's not over yet folks! Bharat hit an unbeaten century last week to almost help India A chase down 490 against England Lions"

Drinks are on the field now. Was a decisive phase of play, India look down and out, having lost 4 wickets since tea. They still need 100 more runs - that's a lot against this excellent bowling unit and on a spiteful pitch. can Ashwin and Srikar Bharat conjure up a miracle? First thing, can they take this into the 5th day?

Bashir Malik ready for next test match, he got his visa, he is leg spinner better bowler than Rehan Ahmed

Tom Hartley the debutant broke indian dream

The son of Bill Hartley, who won 4 x 400m European Championship gold in 1974

Update: Ball-tracking had that delivery going over leg stump. Stokes making all the right calls today...
