Well, once Brook went it was mostly the tail and Siraj did bowl well, took 6 in total. Weird scorecard, 2 lads got 340 out of the total, 6 ducks!
Poor batting and good bowling....ours need to show up with the new ball now, but 3 of our attack have qns over fitness after their first innings.....so.....
India effectively 244-1. 2 days to play. Rain forecast. Even Stokes' dafty Bazzzball approach can't win from here. Can it?
Who knows. Ask again tomorrow, or maybe Sunday! Whatever they set us I reckon India will still be quietly concerned.
Well done Yorkshire. The only team/club not to piss me off this week. Far too late in the T20 but a win's a win, and the County Championship win was excellent and much needed.
Was there today. Bit concerning our bowling attack to be honest. Especially going into the Ashes. They look poor. Smiths innings was phenomenal.
So, what do we think? I reckon India will aim for around 500 with an hour to bowl at us at the end of today.
Yeh, there’s nothing in the pitch. But India’s medium pacers have used the new ball better than we have. I applaud Stokes for the style etc etc, but we can keep bowling first and conceding 500. The hole Anderson and Broad have left is beginning too tell.
One up in the series. India 250 ahead with nine wickets in hand. Rain forecast. We play for the draw and move on, obviously.
That 14 year old Indian batter who hits it all over the place has just hit 143 off 78 balls in an U19 match vs England.
