SA made 176 in second innings. Lead of 80. Markram getting 106 of them!! SA were being blasted pre game for sending weak team out there because their domestic t20 comp kicks off and most staying behind to play in that.
if England won by the Indian batsman hopping in the air it'd have been a disgrace. that rule needs to be changed. England can win this fair and square here.
tail enders swinging away. Great decision to call the half hour by stokes and the bit of pressure from the stumping efforts. Hartley I think saw both coming at him and dragged it down
Amazing win. I was planning on watching all of the tennis this morning. England threw that completely out of the window
England v india. 336/6 for india and anderson took a wicket. Not a terrible day for the spin bolwers but a nice score in a bazball game for india. It'll be a big big day tomorrow as only Jaiswal stuck for india but he's on a massive 179 total so his score will be huge in the whole game. england are down to ashwin at the other crease so here's hoping someone from england can at least score some.
the difference is one players big score. everyone else in both sides have basically gone cheaply England hope is to get into this lot immediately and chase again.
Gill puts on the big score this time so it's 400+ chance for England but 4 tail end wickets to go here after tea.
Fair play to England. Always going to have critics but they don’t give up. And you know they’ll going to give this chase a proper go
