Draw was 80 to 1 yesterday now it is 9 to 4 did anyone back the draw

 

[Shri]

this is great

resuming batting after a day's break is difficult and hopefully our bowlers have overcast conditions to negate the effect of the roller tomorrow

Damn it, no.

 

[Shri]

hope we get a little cloud cover if play resumed soon. open with shami and thakur and look for wickets. then bumrah and ashwin for the tail

 

[cnerd123]

Hope we get some play in.

14:30 local time. If we can resume at 15:00, we have 2 hours till 17:00. Dunnow how much time they can add to the end of the day, but maybe we can get a whole session in?

 

[Daemon]

Covers off apparently.

Hope the ball doesn't get wet in the outfield. Would've rather play be called off entirely today so we have 1 extra rest day.

 

[Shri]

scenes if kohli comes out to field for siraj/agarwal

 

[cnerd123]

2.55pm: We will have play. 3.45pm start time. 34 overs to be bowled today. Play will go on till 6.00pm local time and can be extended to 6.30pm - weather permitting of course.

Play resumes in around 25 mins. Yay!

 

[Apex Predator]

Indians bowlers would have got some good rest now so that's some positive. SA should look to get it done today.

 

[silentstriker]

Lights on, just rained, got some extra rest. It’s now or never for the Indian bowlers.

Though it’s clearly the batting that has let India down this Test match.

 

[Shri]

match starts in 15 minutes

under lights (and hopefully some clouds around?)

and our bowlers are rested enough i hope

only worrying thing is ball getting soaked in the wet outfield

if we don't win here...we can win in cape town

 

[Heboric]

Hopefully with the break bowlers lost their momentum and wet outfield affects the ball

What momentum?

 

[ashley bach]

this should be a thriller...

 

[subshakerz]

Look at that first delivery, wow

 

[ashley bach]

Look at that first delivery, wow

thats called a peach first up

 

[StephenZA]

Ashwin?

 

[Tom Flint]

I hope the 4 Indian bowlers can manage bowling 8 overs each this afternoon without getting too tired for tomorrow

 

[silentstriker]

not sure about ashwin at the moment.

Bumrah's had a real stinker
