Re: Cricket
Now this is a little more promising.
Bit disappointed that (a) Cook didn't enforce the follow-on, and (b) didn't declare an over or two earlier to get India back in before tea. Still, they have four full sessions to knock India over, and a world-record 4th innings run chase seems somewhat unlikely from India - they'll surely be trying to bat through for a draw now?

Overall, a much improved performance over the 4 days so far, but we need to finish it or it means nothing. And Jimmy might have to sit out the next few for being a naughty boy.

Re: Cricket
Well tomorrow will tell if Cook got the declaration correct or not, but I can see the thinking to rest Jimmy & Broad, particularly as the latter is carrying a niggle.
