Yeah, that's the key. England likely to be tired from being in the field a long time (could see that from dropped catches). I can see 180 all out coming.Nice, 445 is a good total. Best part being we've eaten up a day and a half of the best batting conditions.
Not bad after 330 for 7, either, which is the score I briefly woke up to. Checking the commentary since then, it all seems a bit shite; dropped catches, Rehan apparently trying to start a bumper war, and Wood looking absolutely in no fit state. Still, at least we have that five run start after Ashwin's pitch-doctoring.Useful?
Bloody great score
Yeah, why not. But the penalty is about a tenth of what it should be.Do the 5 runs count towards our run rate
They need to get runs even if they'd want to play for the draw anyway.India in front with that total on the board, it will be tough for England to win this now but I don't think Stokes and NcCullum will be playing for a draw.
What happened?This penalty runs thing...
What would have happened had India been batting in the 4th innings and were penalised?
Would they just have to get 5 more runs than the original target?
I suppose they wouldn't be penalised in the 4th innings as they wouldn't benefit from it at all. Quite the opposite, actually.This penalty runs thing...
