If Joe Root does pass Sachin before he retires test cricket will have an extended shelf life at least until the next Indian phenomenon #Root #Tendulkar #ENGvSL.

Impetus might be with India now with just the Oval to play . England bowling attack will see plenty of changes #ENGvsIND.

RT @lewyitfc: @johnwright15 Agreed, very underrated… England could do with someone like him at the moment.

Washington Sundar seems to be a red ball cricketer for the needed occasion. His stats for his eleven tests stand up with both bat and ball in a period where the team has generally struggled #ENGvsIND #OldTrafford.

If India eventually get out of this test series undefeated. This partnership will have been the catalyst. Tough runs & time batted when country needed it the most #ENGvsIND.

Seems whenever Ponting is in this country we love to bombard him with 2005 Ashes memories like it was the only ashes series he was ever involved in #ENGvINDIA.

Don’t see much advantage of Archer batting here . Avoid any chance of injury in something unnecessary #ENGvsIND.

Amazing stat and shows the class of the bowler . Bumrah has his first 100 runs conceded in an innings in test cricket #ENGvIND #OldTraffordTest.

Root can become the all time greatest ever test match runscorer in around three years time . A record that surely given the changes in the sport will never ever be beaten .#ENGvIND #tendulkar #Sachin #JoeRoot.

Be interesting to see body language of the Indian players today . Gill needs to instill the belief they can still draw this series #ENGvIND.

Ponting on commentary as Root is about to pass him in the all time test runscorer list. Joe just needs that 100 down under next winter #ENGvsIND.

Series win prospects gone for India now …. and series defeat looking likely . Knives will be sharpened for GG no doubt #ENGvIND.

Zak Crawley continuing to cement his place into the test team with his unlimited opportunities . Test average of 31 loading . But does what the team requires so they say #ENGvIND #OldTraffordTest.

Pitch looks flat now England moving the game along fast #ENGvsIND.

All the talk was about Pant injury being pivotal to the series result at the close . Time for the Indian lower order & tail to contribute when country needs it most #ENGvIND #OldTrafford.

RT @LingfieldPark: Huge thanks to the @BetWrightUK team for your brilliant support and sponsorship 🙌.The day truly went all the Wright Ways….

England fortune at the toss this series #ENGvIND.

Looking at the forecast for Manchester and the odds on the test match . India look like they are going to need to beat both England and the weather to get back level in this enthralling series @BetWrightUK #ENGvsIND #OldTrafford.
