all out then. 245 for india. stokes cleaner upper 378 to win off what looks like 120-130 overs given how few overs have been bowled. 3 an over to win. bit dicey unless theres two centuries in there. Lees crawley Pope under pressure Root bairstow the runs so far Stokes billings fast scoring but fast out Broad leach potts anderson pretty much tail. this is record chase territory and most likely where this "new" style gets handed its head.
Be a hell of a chase to get this one. Plenty time to do it, just need players to apply themselves now and get a bit of luck.
yes, luck will have th be there cos if they play the big shots the odds will favour the bowling side getting more chances. there's no need to get themselves run out here in the first 10 overs but it could happen the way they seem to think attacking is.
lol lees its not t20 ffs. you are not chasing 400 in 50 overs either. charging shami. anything could happen now. 27/0 lees gets 20. crawley on 7.
43/0 22 lees 20 crawley all far too positive thus far. running like made chasing a 50 overs score. run a ball thus far.
drinks 70/0 after 15. going at 4.2 an over. Lees 47, crawley hanging on in as per on 22. crawly has scored shag all in a while so bound to go drive one and get caught.
100 partnership. Crawley says **** you mito and hammers in a few drives and is on 46. bound to be out soon!
Ironic that Crawley left the ball so much better today… then leaves a straight one Much better though. Play like that more often and will be getting more 50s than 10s
its either an absolute hammering or double centuries inbound. there is no in between. stupid from lees.
It’s incredible the turn around of the batting in the last 4 matches, especially the second innings when it comes to chasing. Still work to be done by 119 with 7 wickets left. If JB gets going could knock off 50 off that inside first 6/7 overs tomorrow morning.
