Off Topic England cricket 2021

England all out for 387.

Archer strikes in his 1st over.

India 19 - 1

 

All square at stumps.
Going to be an exciting 2 days

 

India 58 - 4 at stumps, chasing 193.

Good day tomorrow

 

In the England second innings the last seven wickets to fall in the batting order were ALL bowled.

 

India 116/8

India need 77 runs to win, England need 2 wickets

 

England win by 22 runs.
Brilliant Test Match.

 

But what a bizarre last wicket. Truly a match which neither side deserved to lose.

 

I was able to stay up until tea then I had to go to bed as I had an all day meeting today. I was half falling asleep for most of the afternoon haha

 

England win the toss again, and Stokes reverts back to bowling first.

 

India are 78/0 at lunch.

 

Apparently no team bowling 1st at Old Trafford have won a Test Match.
Good decision by Stokes to bowl

 

Looking forward to today's play.
England did well yesterday, Root and Pope looking good

 

Root brilliant as ever. Now 2nd overall in top number of runs scored. Has a few - hopefully many - years left to reach an incredible total. What a player especially as he can bowl and is also a brilliant slip fielder.

 

Since then it has been all England and with India's main two fast bowlers feeling the exertion of the last few weeks they can perhaps continue to pile on the misery on day 4
