35th over: India 79-1 (Rohit 40, Pujara 26) Anderson is still on, so maybe he doesn’t have a niggle after all – his grimaces may have been expressing the sheer agony of going for a few fours. He’s back to form now, collecting another maiden.
Meanwhile there’s an interesting tweet from Lawrence Booth, editor of Wisden and graduate of the University of the OBO. “I think – though can’t be certain,” he writes, “that 12th man Wood told Root about the three reds for the Rohit lbw during that drinks break. Root threw his head back, and Wood then gave him a consoling pat.”
34th over: India 79-1 (Rohit 40, Pujara 26) Ollie Robinson continues with his decidedly non-military medium. What’s the opposite of military? In this over, he’s on the spot again, conceding only a single and a no-ball. “Tell you what,” says Shane Warne, “Robinson’s got plenty of wickets in this series, but I don’t think he’s bowled better than he has today, when he’s got none for 31.”
