I think we'll probably fall a little short. A hundred runs light in the first innings I feel. Still, another 70 runs in this innings could make it interesting.
ollie pope having a bradman moment at the end of his valuable and heroic knock. leach may not bowl so it's going to be a big ask for england to get ten wickets and time is very much on india's side. can't see the weather saving us.
Ooo...6 down now. Fully expected to wake up this morning and it be done and dusted for India. Big up for the West indies winning at the Gabba too.
What a win that is, after the first innings I thought we were in for a thrashing, with Stokes at the helm nothing seems impossible.
Fantastic T20 is absolutely nothing in comparison to Test cricket , new lads , playing s as nd heating India at their own game up your Bumrah!! He likes to milk it

Fantastic test match again. The only regret is that I didn't watch much of it. Also great to see West Indies hold off an Aussie fightback. It's really sad seeing Windies demise as a test nation.
