So, England’s morning. They’ve batted pretty well, but not all that well – Rahane dropped Jennings, and a few edges were close to the stumps. But India will know that they misread the pitch, which is one on which to bat, and also that their seamers haven’t bowled well enough thus far. Join me in half an hour or so to see where we get to this afternoon.
28th over: England 83-1 (Jennings 38, Root 31) Jennings misses with a flick … and there’s a huge appeal for caught behind! No says the umpire, no says Kohli, and a cut to point next ball gets yerman down the other end. Root then contrives to inside edge, but again does well to miss his wickets.
“Matt Dony is right about uphill walking,” says Sarah O’Regan. “And if you think about it, cycling is just sitting down for a really long time and eating every 30 minutes or so. Here’s a list of the some of the things cyclists consume on bikes: jam sandwiches, rice balls, boiled potatoes (one hopes with butter & garlic), snickers bars, and most recently, champagne. Which brings us nicely back to the picnic discussion.”
