BBC TMS @bbctms
This is the highest ever 10th wicket partnership between an Indian 10 and 11 batsman in Test history #bbccricket

[Buzzo]

424-9

Last wicket partnership 75...!

[captainfog]

He's not a long term solution but I'd be tempted with Treadwell he's got to be better than Moeen.

He couldn't even get a game of red ball cricket for his county.

[captainfog]

Shambles. Absolute shambles.

[Buzzo]

Ind 430-9 (Kumar 45, Shami 37)

ouch.

Surely the lads will feel the pinch a bit as they both approach half centuries.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a 9 and 11 both score half centuries...?

Andrew Samson - BBC Test Match Special statistician
"England's last 10th-wicket partnership of 50 or more was back in 2008. Since then they have conceded eight."

[Buzzo]

That's both tailenders passing 50 including Shami whose test average was 3.33 and is now only the third Indian no 11 to score 50...

England are discovering new ways to suck here.

India should declare? Or does the tail fancy a century each?

[captainfog]

Mohammed Shami's previous Test best score was 11. He has never before hit a first-class 50, having had a best of 33 not out. Now, he's trying to calypso Ben Stokes through the covers, Caribbean-style.

[Buzzo]

They must be loving it out there. They should stick Cook in for a few tricky overs before close!

[Buzzo]

All out 457.

Cook must be nervous.

[captainfog]

Cook gone for 5. Tick tock, Cooky.

[Buzzo]

Jeez.

haha - You could see that happening a mile off.

[Shaggy]

LOL @ Cook

[Vermilion]

LOL @ Cook

He's had no good luck since he shot Bambi dead!
