India v Windies, 2nd test

A week and a bit after being bowled out twice in a day at Edgbaston they won at Headingley so I'm hoping Windies will draw some inspiration from Dubai and their own history and do something remarkable here.  Holder and Roach back helps

lets hope they can win the toss that will be a start

Just been reading the comms on the last game played here. Not a great deal of break up in the pitch and Bangla put a pretty good show.
I'm a glutton for punishment so a draw back to lay for me

Windies bat!

Shardul Thakur plays instead of Shami, should make it a tad easier

India (Playing XI): Prithvi Shaw, Lokesh Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli(c), Ajinkya Rahane, Rishabh Pant(w), Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Umesh Yadav, Shardul Thakur

Windies (Playing XI): Kraigg Brathwaite, Kieran Powell, Shai Hope, Shimron Hetmyer, Sunil Ambris, Roston Chase, Shane Dowrich(w), Jason Holder(c), Devendra Bishoo, Jomel Warrican, Shannon Gabriel

**** me!...I was able to lay Windies after I heard they win toss and bat at 1.16

I ain't had any sleep I might last 1 hour....if no wickets maybe until lunch

Lovely move to the positive already!

I can take £41 green from 10 minutes of tick nicking post toss.  My all time rcord.

yeh I got 10.5 on the draw, almost give me a wicket head start

Reality set in, India coming back down.

Nice start, hope that sets the tone.

Lets have the newbie straying

Can't believe he is this high in the pecking order

No wickets down and I stay up...this is a beautiful move already!

Ishant Shrma seems to be completely out of the picture at home.

no duke ball =

Aus might be starting to use the duke at home, they are using it in domestic at the moment

I feel more comfortable with Dowrich, Noddy and Bishoo at 7/8/9. They have made me quite a bit over the years from perilous positions

Anyone know any t.v. channel that's showing this or a feed?

couple of balls behind

If there is no spin this could be a good batting day

Thanks for the feed details guys.

Toss was kind, No threat whatsoever early doors, man down, c'mon Windies SEIZE this opportunity....its a perfect storm for them.  Dont squander this!

WTF

I was worried slip had caught is

One of those dismissals where you breath a sigh of relief at the inside edge and then you find the slip has caught it

That was soft soft soft

Idiotic decision to do that!

what a plank

that's what you get from the WI though, brainless stuff at times.

His career is hanging by a thread anyway, took my breath away that

They could lose wickets to spin on glass

He could have pulled out of that and played a defensive shot, he had time

This looks like a belter, I will be upset if they fall over on this

Surely not a streaker in India. They might cut it off.

Need a good solid hour of batting now

Going to be about 100 overs today, Sir J hasn't even started bowling yet

Good idea, letting the schoolies in

holiday today apparently

That sends me to bed!

I never understand why they play outside the line like that. Opens up bowled and lb. At least if you play inside the line you can only get caught behind and it might not carry as it didn't the ball before

India will get 600 on this

They are starting to make a pig's ear out of this

They are magnificent at losing wickets before a break

seen enough of this, scratch it and go out for the afternoon

Some cunning individual got £300 matched at 11s when the market opened!

On India

Holder once again showing those wasters above him how to stay in.  I'm also counting on Bishoo to serve up another blockathon, hopefully tomorrow not today.

What an absolute slab of concrete. Can't believe WI have lost 6 wickets on this.
India will get 600/700 at least

Just seen the 3 wickets after lunch, all batsmen error and the three before were poor too.

India geting xtra overs in.

Don't do anything silly pre stumps and I am in a very strong position here.

SICKENING!

Still comfortably green but SICKENING!

£93 Red India
£876 green the other 2

Bishoo was trying to play drives when facing his few balls last evening, I dont want to see that again when play resumes, he is one of the top dead bat blockers in cricket.   Do your thing please!

Don't think it will matter CS. India will plunder a gazillion on this deck in no time
No turn, no pace in the wicket. I'm going to back 700 if I can get decent odds

Loving this morning India drift.

Royston Chase & Davindra Bishoo cn take me to the promised land.

Devendra Bishoo that is.

But he didn't

Another soft wicket really that.  Dont know about number 10's batting ability!

Roston Chase showing too much delight for me on nailing his ton, this is a team game.

Number 10 has just fatted one for 66666666666666

Roston should be farming the strike, not taking singles off 1st ball even if it did bring up his ton.

I'm fuming with Roston Chase no game awareness whatsoever.

Warrican can bat a bit.

£68.65 Green on all 3 outcomes....nd I'm leaving this game for now, disgusted with lax thoughtless play from Windies.  They were not tuned in at all this morning inc Roston Chase.

India RACING ALONG and killing the draw

They are gonna have a 200 lead by end of the day!

Actually more Shaw than India. What an asset that kid is gonna be, Sehwag on Steroids.

Deposited £3k with the bank of India this game, although I missed the really high interest rates available at times on day 1 and took 2/3 of it at 13%, 1/3 at 16%. I’ve had one trade on the draw since. Typical that a game that’s actually seen quite a few trading opportunities is one I didn’t trade but mostly grumble too much. Did look a bit like WI overpriced earlier but I was too greedy trying to get 18s when India 7 down, then 15s later. Not that I’m complaining as the WI second innings has started horrifically.

That was mustn’t grumble, rather than mostly grumble, which means nothing.

That was a fine effort by Windies to bowl out India for well below 400 on this track......if Windies could scrape teir way to a 200 lead (slowly) and then the wicket goes assumption makers could be shafted again like they were shafted by Aus holding on the other day.

The dream is over !

Holder is several places too low in this order

That was a surprise, waking up and finding Windies made 322

Will try guerilla cricket to see whats happening in the chase which superficially looks to be going well.

India matched at a high of 1.77........you lucky sods whoever got that.

Why is Marlon Samuels still playing ODIs for India for?
