Keep the Faith JES
India have to bat yet dont they

Sussed it, this is a cunning plan so our seamers can bowl at India under lights we will obviously bowl them out for 60 in seamer friendly dewy conditions take a 60 run lead into the second innings. Our second innings tomorrow in daylight all out 100, get them in under lights again tomorrow night bowl then out for not a lot presto we are 2-1 up...........either that or India are going to make 500 in their first innings.

True Tuffers. I doubt we will bowl as well as they do and I’m certain they will bat better than us, but we’ll see.

Not over until the fat lady sings - that'll probably be late tomorrow or Friday.

Hmmm i see your point Jes

On such a bad pitch as the last one they scored nearly 6 hundred in 2 innings .

Still it is a different ground

9 down.why does kohli remind me of David Platt from coronation street

The pitch has deteriorated from the start of play and India are exploiting England’s batting, it would be interesting to see how India’s batters would do against their spinners don’t think they would be 106-9.

I know all home teams prepare pitches to suit their bowlers but I still think this is doing too much on day one. It’s not turning as much as the last pitch on the first day but we are not even two sessions in. That said England’s batting is poor.

22-0 for India

Why havent England scored wickets yet ?

2 conversions now

India 99-3 .
Nearly score the runs in 1 session quarter than
England did in 2 .

England took some good wickets near the end
Nicely balanced for day 2

reading the text on the BBC sounds like some of the umpiring has been a bit iffy.

That's why in normal times they have neutral ones.

Highlight of day was commentator when referring to the chattering behind the stumps he described the noise as a caca phoney

Blatant not out given when their guy was stumped and his foot was clearly off the ground

His foot was on the.ground though
They all agreed his toe was on the ground .

England's batting in the last 2 tests has been appalling, but whoever chose to go into the third test with just one spinner should be fired.

Decent start for England this morning two wickets for Leach and one for Root including Sharma for 66, 117-6.

I forgot
Cheers for the reminder .
121-6

125-8. Root has 3-0!

Incredible game is Cricket.

125-8
Its spectacular

India collapsing as badly as Eng- er- land
Did yesterday .

Test cricket maybe

Ive witnessed the other type

Imagine if Root can take 5/0

145 All Out

Root 5-8 !!!


No point England trying to survive on here I reckon that India will open with their spinners, hopefully we will bat positively.

1st ball delivered 0-1

Nearly a hat trick
Crazee game
Then 0-2 after 3 balls
