Second Test, Chennai, day three
England lead 1-0 in four-Test series
One way to disrupt Ben Foakes is to try to injure him. With Foakes standing up to Broad, Ashwin goes down for a scoop, leaving Foakes ducking for cover. In the end it's given as four leg byes, despite the pads being nowhere near it.

TheStageLeftPodcast: Two years ago I drunkenly invited Sir Alastair Cook for a game of cricket on the beach.....he turned up

I'm sparing a thought for his hair.
Ishant Sharma is the new man.
Sir Alastair Cook
Former England captain on The Cricket Social
Spare a thought for Rory Burns. The bloke's on a pair... as soon as England go out to bat there will be four men round the bat and every run will feel so hard to get.
Kuldeep lbw Moeen 3 (Ind 210-8)
The ball before ragged past Kuldeep Yadav's outside edge, with the next one a straight-break that thundered into the front pad. Too much for a number nine to handle. Moeen Ali has eight wickets in the match.
Sir Alastair Cook
Former England captain on The Cricket Social
It's turned a tiny bit, but the ball before turned a foot and a half. This one has turned two inches. The accidental straight-onner!
Ind 210-8
Out. Just out.
Moeen Ali into Kuldeep Yadav's front pad. Think Graeme Swann to every left-hander he ever bowled at.
Michael Vaughan

If he stands back, Ashwin would be batting a yard or so outside the crease to nullify lbw.
Ind 208-7
Even Ben Foakes makes mistakes.
Standing up to Stuart Broad, he puts down a thick edge off Ravichandran Ashwin. Very tough when he's standing up, would have been regulation standing back. But would Ashwin have played that shot if he didn't have Foakes breathing down his neck?
The great keeping conundrum...

We had a game in Kent, a Blue Ball from Grantchester XI, interrupted by an escaped pig.

Arjun Singh: Is it now safe to call Kohli “Moeen’s bunny”?
Chris Jones: Things in Moeen Ali’s pocket: car keys, wallet, Virat Kohli.
Kuldeep Yadav is the new man. If England aren't careful there will be enough time for them to be bowled out today.
Sir Alastair Cook
Former England captain on The Cricket Social
It's a bit of a surprise he's missed that. It's not one that's ragged massively.
Kohli lbw Moeen 62 (Ind 202-7)
Shaving the bails!
Virat Kohli is on his way, undone for the second time in the match by Moeen Ali. It's turned back into the skipper, but there's no real reason for him to miss it. A bit soft, really.
Sir Alastair Cook
Former England captain on The Cricket Social
It might be a tad high. I think it's going to be umpire's call.
Ind 202-7
Virat Kohli asks for a replay when he's bowled, so he's definitely asking for a review when he's given leg before.
Moeen Ali round the wicket. A touch high?
Michael Vaughan
Former England captain on The Cricket Social
Could you envisage Foakes being the wicketkeeper and number seven, and Jos Buttler batting as a specialist number six? Could Pope bat at three, or Bairstow? I don't remember a 'keeper keeping as well as this.

On The Cricket Social, Michael Vaughan's dogs are barking. On the subject of dogs, Rory Burns' long mullet has me in mind of an Afghan Hound. I'll see if we can work on a split pic of Rory and an Afghan, then you'll see what I mean.
