Agreed Hayden,
Its just I am an addict and I cannot see England chasing this down. I do expect them to go after it today in the sun. |

By:
20 good weather overs remaining England could be close to 100-1 by close! or 40-4!

They'd have taken their position 4 days ago though elis and spikey graphs are no stranger to the sport

In contrast Elis I did hear from commentary that they are the first ever Indian side to make five centuries in a test v England.?
Revealing article about Bumrah on the BBC sport site. |

By:
the middle order down , really worries me for the indians for the series , there is no runs there, bumrah coming in at 8 ,
 , the pressure is too much for jaiswahl, rahul, gill and pant, hope im wrong , |

Not sure Elis,
I mean yeah hence Shardul but me made no runs and was not given the ball. He should have been given a chance with a hard ball. If Gill does not trust him they should as I have stated before play Reddy instead. He is a good batsman and can deliver 10 nondescript overs. The big problem is 20 wickets. They need to play Kuldeep as an attacking option to help Bumrah. So instead of that I would have Kuldeep in place of Shardul but bring in Druv Jurel who is proven and technically proficient in place of Sudhardsan who is a talent but with an obvious weakness that was picked off twice quite easily. Nair is good but if he does not score runs next match I would bring Reddy in his place. He has great technique too. England batting is good but there is no replacement for Crawley Bring in Atkinson and Archer for Woakes and Tongue. Tongue can switch with Carse for the 4th Test. Wood may be ready for the 5th. Tongue can also replace Archer for the 3rd. Good rotation. |

Flipping 'eck, that was some delivery from Bumrah

Will see how the pitch behaves after the effect of the heavy roller wears off.
Cracking day in front of us |
|
By:
should be a fascinating days play, ball not doing a massicve amount in the early overs
thought the crowd wd be bigger |
|
By:
Agree regarding the heavy roller as the complexion could change after it wears off , be surprised if Jadeja isn't a key component overall sometime during the day.

I wouldn't be too quick to knee jerk anything into the bottom half Indian innings collapses , it's happened twice in succession yes but i'd want to see far more elongated evidence than that tbh , such is the sport you can bet the bottom half will bail the team out sometime in this series , they can all bat just not in the last two innings.
|
|
By:
Not sure about that Hayden
Plenty of fore shadowing about this. Like I said they need Kuldeep and imho need to rejig their set up. They have two very good batsmen on the sidelines Jurel and Reddy. |
|
By:
I think you are right though. Wait and see.
|
|
By:
I am in the red fir the first time in the match
|
|
By:
Who's the red WD , England presumably.
No more involvement here i'm done , just watching all day and full of admiration if they pull this chase off. |
|
By:
good start by england- 1.69 on here currently- tad short imvho
|
|
By:
i backed india a few days back and have cashed out for a small loss.
overall in profit though as my two bets on indian runs in first innings both landed. |
|
By:
Hard to believe how many play and misses by England but none getting the edge.
|
|
By:
Yes England have shortened dramatically in the last hour. India need 3 quick wickets to get back into it.
|
|
By:
It's a funny old game sage with the old adage being a better player would have got a touch.
Got me thinking back to the Gooch pair vs Walker & Thomson but Goochy didn't turn out too bad a test player. |
|
By:
around 430-3 in 1st inngs and cruising, when as someone on here said, Gills ego got the better of him , harsh lesson for him
|
|
By:
If England win this does it mean we'll need to retract criticism of Stokes inserting the opposition , after all he's on record as stating he loves a chase
 Also if England do prevail it'll only be correct in praising their performance rather than hitting on the negatives of India's performance. elis I've responded to the Rokeby Bowl question , you've a good memory mate |

By:
Journalist talk!
It was a mistake though but so what! |

By:
I know next-to-nothing about the mechanics behind WinViz but it is staggering how out of line the market and WV often are.
Yesterday, WinViz draw was 5% and the draw price was 4.2. Right now: England and India exactly even for WinViz (41%) whilst England are 1.54 and India 5.9. |

By:
If England collapse he reverts to being chit captain..
I think stokes is prepared to try new stuff but is he captain or taking instruction from coach. Brearley was far and away best captain as he understood the psychological game too, tis pity his game wasnt up to his captaincy. Collingwood was a good captain, clever cricket. |
|
By:
Either the folks at WinViz have a money printer; or we may as well ask a bunch of six-year-olds and stick up their percentages on screen.
|
|
By:
Think WinViz is like one of those games you give the kids for Christmas to shut them up for a few hours Apt

If India lose this match, they would do so with a total of 835 runs. Only three times in Test history has a team made more runs in a Test and lost.
|
|
By:
If India lose this match it is their own fault.
they were gifted the advantage to bat first by Stokes. They got into great batting positions twice and wasted them plus have dropped several catches at crucial times. Good to see Crawley batting with such reserve and resolve |

nobody has entioed wether time will be a factor in this. england have 2 sessions to score 230 ish
india need 10 wks |
