3rd Test: England v India at The Rose Bowl

England in a good position at tea; 186/1. Cook 82* and Ballance 72*

England team-mates Ben Stokes and Matt Prior have reportedly given damning evidence against India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who has been found guilty of a level one breach of the International Cricket Council's code of conduct - and dealt a 50 percent match fee fine - after allegedly threatening to strike fast bowler James Anderson.

This Sky commentary is an ECB ploy to get people to go to the grounds to avoid it.

Why de hell would I believe Stokes and Prior? They on the same team as Anderson.

Cook caught down the leg side 5 short of a century. England 213/2.

Cook fall on 95. Caught behind down the leg side off Jadeja

You beat me to it.

But yes, the Alastair Cook who scored 95 under pressure is still the Alastair Cook who had six boundary-riders for a number 11

New ball just around the corner now; decisive passage of play imminent.

India take the new ball and Ballance brings up his third Test ton. Back to back hundreds for Ballance. Fantastic knock. England 238/2
