ALOK PRASANNA writes from London: Woke up early on a grey Sunday morning, ostensibly to catch the dying moments of an already dead Test match, debating whether or not the effort would be worth it.

Had to watch his last bowling effort. Thank god for live streaming cricket.

It wasnt much. Four overs, sprinkled with long hops, the odd shooter, but mostly consistent stuff. It didnt really matter of course.
