***Official*** India in England 2014

[smash84]

I think India have given them a great chance to put england under the hammer in this test match. This could be a turning point for this series as well. Great fightback from Rahane and Bhuvi

Cook surely can be compared with Sachin now - Captaincy wise!

Just read Jadeja was booed by the crowd. Pretty poor.

People are exaggerating how good a score this is. Its marginally India's day, but the 2nd new ball did very little and its going to be hot all throughout the test. Also won't spin.

Both are legends :P This Ramadan will slim me down though

Got on India at 6.00 at lunch but England are still massive favourites with the bookies.

It's England - 1.83, Draw - 3.5, India - 4.5

Haha. Wasn't that your plan last ramadan too? Besides half of ramadan is gone already

Did you see me here for nearly a year? Was super busy and yeah lost 7 kg in last 1 month so I am hopeful

If England can get Cook back in form and score 450+ then and only then they can win this game which looks highly unlikely at the moment.

Eh? This pitch isn't going to break up? Even they get close to India's score they will be in with a decent chance of winning the game.

 

[Burgey]

Any Long Room argy bargy?

 

[Pothas]

Just saw 5 minutes of the highligts and that is it, has this been a bad day like Colvile just said? Without seeing anything of the actual play I would guess we are about even.

 

[Maximas]

Probably about even, but England should be on top for mine, wasted opportunity and now India have a chance to make them pay

 

[Pothas]

Yeah but I just take a strong lower order stand as a given these days.

 

[Burgey]

The first session bowling was poor, Pothas. I didn't see after lunch, but either England continued in the same vein or the deck flattened out quite a bit.

Prior was god awful early on.

At least Sachin could bat, Cook has forgotten that.

 

[fredfertang]

Should've given himself a few overs after tea

 

[Watson33]

Well played Rahane. Binny unlucky with the LBW. Don't get why the BCCI don't like the DRS system. Few Indian batsmen been wrongly given out in this series.

6 men on the boundary to Mohammed Shami on any pitch in the world with any score below 900 on the board is utterly ridiculous, let alone on day one on this pitch with this bowling attack and the score below 300.
