you know the only way england are winning anything is if india take a jolly in last test having won series thats what england do and why we are #midtable
I know england are tossers. haven't got one selection right yet with the mix of bat and bowling this series.
it's not relevant when we are talking about england royally cocking up the selection mix and getting a hammering off the best test side in the world do you deny we've had to drop lads then got the mix wrong in the bowling this series?
england doing "ok" not exactly amazing but a par score. 249/5 bairstow just out.... who knows what'll happen next.
you can mention it. i was talking about the score. its just about par after winning toss so much depends on last 5 batsmen. if they get 350 or 400 or 450.. buttler and stoke in. England bowling then will be tested. this one could end up a draw if they do well. which would be a great result
imminent collapse more like it. Will prob wake up tomorrow, check the score and find england ****ed it.
wasn't too bad, buttler did his best. ball stood round injured (another) pitch looks to be deteriorating rapidly.
it kind of sets it up as two big total first innings and some kind of lead for india probably (unless the next 4 wickets go quickly) and then its down to england batting to either flop or survive as pitch deteriorates. I don't know but it seems unlikely cook will get to a place to have a go at a declaration to try bowl them out.
Close of play.......146-1..............tomorrow will be a big day, can see India going through Englands total but we'll see
and india are on top. england have no answer. .....well... not strictly true but this one is now down to whther england have any fight in the batting. India could run through us and have 200 to get on last day at this rate.
