Surpassing Lillee will be a monumental achievement. He is the only bowler in Australia's top eight wicket-takers with a strike-rate under 50. Of the 27 men who have taken more than 350 Test wickets, only Dale Steyn, Waqar Younis and Malcolm Marshall have a better strike-rate than Starc.

Stokes fails against the Indian spinners again, out for a duck, he had a moral victory though, he lasted 6 balls, England 6/181.

Bairstow, Root and Stokes all out on the same score and all burning a review in the process. A very English hatrick.
Priceless.

No wonder they don’t like DRS.

They clearly don’t understand how it works.
 
Stokes averaging 21 for the series and hasn't bowled a ball. If he's finished as a bowler you have a no.6 batsman who averages 35.
 
Kiwis in trouble in 2nd test. Ravindra with a shocking dismissal in last over before lunch chasing a wide one.

Another crap over rate, just 26 overs going to be bowled in a session.
 
Steve Smith. Out LBW but reviews when not playing a shot. Looked out live. Umpires call the result.

Not quite as bad as the Bairstow/Root/Stokes reviews but live it looked pretty plumb. Not sure why the batsman ever ask the non-striker about reviewing because they always end up reviewing. The stats would be pretty damning.

Smith's struggles continue.

Poms look like they are going to get a massive beating, they have lost interest. Can see them losing by an innnings and some change.

When are we going to call the Smith as opener a failed experiment? Gotta be soon.

It’s not looking good, one good knock. His scores as an opener: 12, 11*, 6, 91*, 31, 0, 11 @ 34 (or 14 if you remove the outlier of 91)
 
Let's see how Smith goes on not a greentop.

Shubman Gill coming of age in this series v England. Second ton for the series to go with a 91 and a matchwinning 52* last test. Quality player. Ideal no.3.
