Josh Hazelwood on fire with 4/23 - Windies 57/5

 

All out for 141 after some lower order resistance. Aussies won by 159 runs.

 

Pretty convincing in the end I guess.

 

A daunting task for England - set 608 to win by India.

An impressive effort by their captain Shubman Gill - double century in the first innings and then 161 in the second. A rare feat at Test level...

 

Heavy rain now is the best hope.

 

Yes indeed .


Difference is India haven’t collapsed unlike the first test or relied on one bowler .

 

Obviously didn’t want the record so declared before breaking it .

I do love a game of top class Rugby League - and they don't come any "topper" than the Australian State of Origin games.
Just watched this year's series decider - won 24-12 by Queensland - and could only marvel at the level of fitness shown by both sets of players for the entire 80 minutes.
A brilliant win by Queensland - one that silenced the NSW fans in the 82k+ crowd in Sydney.

 

How often in a Test Match do both sides score the same number of runs in the 1st innings?

 

Only been done 9 times apparently.

Great final wicket by Bashir to give England victory after a tense Indian fight back...... well worth a look.... the ball just trickled onto the stump

 

Unfortunate for India .

Excellent win by England though and great teat cricket .

 

Oh dear .

Poor old West Indies !

They were lucky Cummins didn't bowl - would have been much worse...
