***Official*** England in India 2016/17

Semblance of a partnership forming with competent batting. Brain fart wicket inbound surely.

 

[Howe_zat]

Lead!

I don't really know why I feel we've achieved something

 

[flibbertyjibber]

On a serious note I said to my dad last night if Root scored 134 runs himself and the rest managed 150 at least we would have a target to bowl at and might cause a stir if we took a couple of wickets. Very unlikely but you never know. At least we not lost by an innings, not that an 8 wicket defeat is going to be much better.

STFU Shastri.

 

[Contra]

exceptional catch from Rahane!

 

[flibbertyjibber]

So Hameed with a bust finger is better than most of the rest of our bats then.

Some catch that, simply brilliant.

 

[hazsa19]

Well that's the end of that pipe dream then.

 

[vcs]

Yessss

Meh, depends on what you are trying to achieve, he definitely has stuck it out but scored less than Buttler so far.

 

[indiaholic]

Rahane WAFG!!!

 

[indiaholic]

Excellent innings from Root. Played long enough to prove he is in a league of his own and got out before causing too much damage. WAFG!

 

[OverratedSanity]

Please teach the others how to catch, rahane.

 

[vcs]

Woakes and Rashid are more than capable in the lower order. Need to remain focused.

 

[Burgey]

England needs to show more #intent here.

 

[indiaholic]

Hameed to start playing a few more shots after lunch? He is certainly capable of a few.

 

[centurymaker]

Still a fairly Flat pitch!
Especially if you compare it to Day 4-5 of the previous Tests. Not much happening off the wicket, it's just pressure of the situation, rather than anything else.

He can't. All he can do is what he is doing, bit difficult with a bust finger to play big shots.

Was going at a slightly faster clip during his 80 in Rajkot..

 

[Daemon]

Check out the **** injuring himself. Footballs should be banned.

Didn't have a broken finger then
