***Official*** India in England

Partnership 61... 174 more to get.

Tipping a wicket to fall within the first 5-6 overs of the next session tbh.

 

[silentstriker]

Yea, breaks are always tough on the batsman. The bowlers come back refreshed and you need to get yourself in again.

 

[Jono]

Argh I have a bad feeling.

Sounds like these guys have done a good job. Some of VVS' shots have been superb.

 

[silentstriker]

Yup, not chanceless innings, but they did well. A long way to go though. We need to hope for rain.

 

[silentstriker]

The betting guys think a draw is more likely now:

England: 2.25
Draw: 1.80
India: 11.00

I love this game, just because an hour of play can turn things around so much! India were playing close to 30 just after the 5th wicket fell...

 

[pasag]

Yeah, really good Test.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Great field settings Vaughan, our best bowler in the game bowling to someone who's facing his first ball after lunch.

Are we going for a draw or a win?

 

[viktor]

yeah that was surprising. No 3rd slip and no 3rd man?

 

[Perm]

Very evenly poised, gotta love Test cricket.

 

[Pratters]

Partnership 69*

 

[honestbharani]

Very evenly poised, gotta love Test cricket.

With the batting that is left after these guys, that is a pretty strange statement, I have to say.



It is here that we miss our Lord and Saviour the Almighty AA..... He could have scored a 100 and gotten us home so easily here, given his record in this ground.

 

[Scaly piscine]

There's 4 more runs because of Prior's mediocre wicket-keeping.

 

[silentstriker]

Yes, AA would have won us the Test match with his maiden double century TBH.

 

[Pratters]

Another four!!!!!!! Haha!

 

[pasag]

Loving this, itbt.

 

[Jono]

Heart in mouth stuff whenever Dhoni is at the crease.

 

[Pratters]

These two have played really well. Have kept the runs flowing and haven't done much stupid. A few half chances but given the conditions, very well done so far.

 

[silentstriker]

Dhoni...what the hell are you doing? Don't have the Mumbai brain freeze again.

 

[nightprowler10]

Dhoni needs to calm down against Monty there.
