“I write from Taiwan,” begins Mark Bainbridge, to get us off the mark on the emails for day five. “You do not know me from Adam, but please allow me to explain why I so very much enjoy the OBO and the fine work you, and the all the other hosts, do. In the main, internet forums are vile smelling swamps populated by creatures whose most endearing character attribute is a complete lack of manners. By contrast, everyone who contributes to the OBO, from whichever part of the world, is supremely courteous, inspiringly knowledgeable across a wide range of subjects and either possesses, or is appreciative of, an intelligent (and often wondrously dry) sense of humour. Thank you.”
What a lovely note to start on. On behalf the OBO team, our thanks.
An all important Day 5 awaits at The Chepauk.

16-5-28-2. They are Jack Leach’s figures in this Test since Rishabh Pant was dismissed in the first innings – thanks to Matt Roller for that. England’s bowling coach, John Lewis, spoke about the resilience of their left-arm tweaker after play last night.
