Not sure, if Stokes hangs around there could be another 50-100 runs in the side, pitch is wearing. ****, Stokes out as I was typing! We're going to lose
hope atkinson's return to club cricket is helping his recovery. can't imagine england bowling india out cheaply, although the dropped tongue did do a good job of cleaning up the tail in the first game. archer's return felt totally over-optimistic right from the start, especially after the overblown fuss about his first-over wicket. picking up the 10th wicket 23ish overs later for his second wicket wasn't exactly impressive. yorkshire's ben coad has a first-class bowling average of 20.10 and a strike rate of 44.9.
India's to lose imo. They've got time, good discipline and momentum, if they can get to close 1 or none down they'll win.
What a great game, tomorrow should be brilliant. England'll have their tails up but India do have batters to come in. No more predictions from me...
Fair play to lords for giving us a good test wicket for this match, bit slow and low first few days but has come to life perfectly for the 3rd and 4th innings, 5th day finish nailed on, great for the game!
Great start but I still wouldn't lump on an England win just yet. Archer and Stokes probably resting now until lunch, a few boundaries from Jadeja and it could be interesting. They need just 98 to win.
meanwhile, lots of wickets in aus v windies. 467 runs and 26 wickets. nobody reached 50 yet. aus 225 win 143 aus 99/6
