*Official* Second Test at Trent Bridge

[R_D]

Should have opened with Sreesanth imo

 

[flibbertyjibber]

India need an early wicket to settle them down after that carnage. For us it is all about getting to close of play without losing a wicket.

 

[Burgey]

India definitely still on top for mine

Nah. England in a canter from here, barring a calamity before stumps.

 

[Van Buren]

England need Cook to play an innings of substance here. He's looked far too tentative in his three prior digs.

 

[hang on]

Really?

India on top still,imo.

but they will have to bat last. and the momentum is with england at the moment. if they pick up a couple of wickets before the close of play, then perhaps one could say that india is still on top.

 

[Anku31]

barring a calamity before stumps.

Which is surely gonna happen given the twists this test has faced till now.

 

[R_D]

India definitely still on top for mine

Nah I wouldn't say on top.... slightly ahead maybe but you feel England will do well from here.

 

[Goughy]

India definitely still on top for mine

Agree. England have given themselves a chance but India are still ahead with runs in the bank

Not like this pitch is gonna crumble batting last. And the last innings will most likely be on the 4th day.

Broad, what a hero. Unbe-****ing-lievable. If this lasts for another match or two Flintoff's 2005 comes under threat.

Can't believe bloody charity is making me miss this awesome Test. I left when Laxman got out (Bres (Y)); can someone fill me in since? I heard Trotsky may have been hurt?

Anyway, what's this balls about England being on top. There's a first-innings deficit for a reason. Need 300 2nd dig to be favourites.

 

[Sutts]

Asad Rauf with another great decision there. I think he's got hawk-eye installed in his eyes.

 

[Cevno]

Another cracker by Rauf.

 

[ankitj]

Asad Rauf is unbelievable!

 

[superkingdave]

Great decision by Raufy

 

[Burgey]

Cook has started pushing out really hard in front of his front pad again. That deficiency he had against Pakistan last home summer.

 

[Uppercut]

Fantastic decision. Wouldn't have given it either real time but so, so tight.

 

[R_D]

Rauf is a very good umpire...

 

[Anku31]

I think UDRS is needed only in those matches in which Asad Rauf is absent.

 

[ankitj]

Asad Rauf with another great decision there. I think he's got hawk-eye installed in his eyes.

Shhh. BCCI will ask for his removal if they hear you.

 

[Van Buren]

Match's balanced on a knife's edge in my view. India's lead of 67 could be wiped out by a single watchful partnership, and the momentum is with England. On the other hand, Trott might be ruled out, and that brings things back into balance.
