Wagner was excellent for Essex in the English summer just gone. Always rated him. Alarming to see Windies crumble again though

Apart from the Ashes there are two other tests being played.
New Zealand continue to dominate WI, they dismissed them cheaply and piled on the runs. 134 all out versus 447/9 at the close.
India are batting against Sri Lanka and have recovered strongly after losing two early wickets to reach 245/2 at tea.

I just turned this on, and it looks like WI have adopted England's tactics against tailenders, of basically just letting it go and letting the opposition score a single or two every over off the 4th or 5th balls, with fielders deep and nobody bothering to try and take a wicket, tiring out your own openers and just letting the game drag on and on.

I suppose in Boults case is that you could see him suppressing his natural instinct and helping his partner to achieve his admirable milestone
Fair play too to the bowlers who knew the declaration was coming but made it as bloody awkward as they could have possibly have done. In no way would this have altered the result but this is why Test Cricket is so wonderful.

India v Sri Lanka Test match halted by smog in Delhi - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/42213491
Some of the Sri Lanka players were wearing masks. I think England or Australia may have walked off as they have more power and could avoid any ICC sanctions.

It appears that some of them did.
At one point SL only had ten fielders and had their trainer step in as a substitute with the bowling coach grabbing his whites ready to go as well.
Not totally without precedent as domestic games have been called because of air pollution.

Poor Blundell is likely to be dropped for the next test.

India will win their 9th consecutive series, but none of those were away to a side in the Top 5.

England are currently 3rd in the rankings but likely defeats to Aus and NZ might change that
