This test is bonkers. People getting very hand wring-y about whether this is GOOD FOR CRICKET (TM) but it's brilliant fun.
I may feel differently on the three cricket-free days I'm absolutely about to have mind.

It's an enthralling watch no doubt, and better than a dull 550 plays 550 first innings ends in a draw, but a 2 day test......not a good look

Yeah, let's not have the same in the next test which is *checks notes* at the same stadium.
Chief Executive must be fuming right?

On the plus side, means Aus won't be playing at Lords' in the summer (yay).....hope a nice green top is prepared for Boult et al to take advantage of!

Masterful trolling from Kohli calling this a "very good pitch to bat on"

Well, this England team feels like a reaction to how wrong the last one was. Foakes at 8, Bess at 9, one seamer.
Pope looks much, much better against spin than he did a week ago which is quite impressive.

We've got no chance here, India will make 300-400 on this track. Can't get my head around the team selection.....again....definitely a bowler light, tho we're about 5 batsmen light too.....

Feels like an appropriate time to give it the ol John Cleese it's the hope that kills you speech.
