28th over: England 73-8 (Curran 14, Rashid 8) Shannon Gabriel replaces the marvellous Kemar Roach, who has seen Jimmy Anderson’s figures and raised them: 11-7-17-5. A low full toss from Gabriel is driven confidently through mid-off for four by Curran, who is again on course to be England’s top scorer in a Test innings.
27th over: England 69-8 (Curran 10, Rashid 8) Rashid gets off the mark with a stylish boundary, wristily flicking an outswinger from Joseph over midwicket, and slices the next ball through backward point for four more.
I still don’t really understand what has happened since lunch, and no amount of back-to-back boundaries will change that. They lost five wickets for five!
