I'm going to look a fool again aren't I?

 

300 run partnership between Brook and Smith.

 

Brook bowled by Deep, but the follow on is avoided.

 

NO

407-8

 

407 ao

Siraj awesome with the new ball

 

What a bizarre innings.

407 all out with one partnership contributing 303.

2 scores over 150 but nobody else reaches 25, including 6 ducks.

 

Highest ever score containing 6 ducks

 

And surely one of the lowest to include a 300 partnership.

 

Poor umpiring there. The DRS clock had clearly run down to zero before Jaiswad asked for the review. Stokes would have blown a fuse if the 3rd umpire had overruled the lbw.

52-1, India lead by 232.

 

Glamorgan win by 2 runs!

 

A bit of a shocker that. First time in about 400 years that Glamorgan have won at Taunton.

 

I see that Baker was back in training this week. I wonder if he might feature in one of our two matches this weekend (I doubt he'd play both).

 

More likely tomorrow I'd imagine.

 

I don't understand why India haven't declared yet TBH. I struggle to see them taking 10 wickets in the time that is left now.

 

I was thinking the same
Puzzled

 

I’m saying nothing.

11-1

 

I like that they give batters a really fair chance but this blind faith in Crawley is odd. He is a walking wicket but seems in no danger of losing his place.

 

Pope has to bat long too.

 

imagine if India had set England a target.if 551. And England get off to a flyer getting over 100 in 20 over, leaving a Target of 450. This England line-up can produce anything so Gill was thinking not to go 2-0 down with three to play.

 

50-3

Root skittled
