"No team have ever won the toss, bowled first and won a Test match at Old Trafford. There's been 84 of them here in Manhester."

Hope that's reverse jinxing from the Beeb.

Not sure these umpires will give it out if hits the stumps, both England reviews looked plumb in real time

Good reviewing from the skip then - not a bad sign

Bowl them out in the first 30 mins today. Bat until about 18:30 at which point we will declare with a 20 run lead. Quick 30 mins at them tonight and then skittle them tomorrow after the rain clears. England set 280 to win. Make it to stumps tomorrow 2 down.

Rains all day Saturday. Then on Sunday it'll be a question of whether England can knock off the 220 needed between the showers.

Now Woakes. NO! Bøllocks. No ball. FFS. Please Ganpati, sort it out.

Btw, we pick horses for courses. We can have 3 spinners in the sub-continent and none sometimes at home. So why isn't Woakes picked for every home test?

At home, he averages 22.2 with the ball, SR of a tad over 43, and 35.5 with the bat. Perfect for a number 8.

FFS, Ducket gone and Moeen in after 2.3 overs. Please, Mô, score us a sexy ton.
