Close of play, India 112-4 after 42 overs. England's second innings was 205-4 from 40.4 overs.

So England need six wickets on the final day, India need 333 runs.

I can see lunch being 300/7 or do and really from there it's all about a new ball

 

[Sharpe*]

Well what a brilliant day that was!

First time its been like this for over a year.

Hopefully we'll get them tomorrow.

 

[moreinjuredthanowen]

Yes just about everything went right over the day

Taking top 4 batsmen out is a big thing so right now the first overs to tomorrow then the new ball will be crucial. I feel that dhonis wicket is the one to get

 

[Sharpe*]

Agreed yeah.

We get to him and bowl him, the back could be broken!

Your wish is Root's command.

That's twice now. I must try this tactic more frequently

We SHOULD piss this #nojinx

 

[Red Hadron Collider]

See Anderson was gobbing off again at close. Rahene this time and he's in the dock tomorrow

 

[Nozzer]

Sharma's gone, second over. 112-5.

 

[Red Hadron Collider]

Sharma's gone, second over. 112-5.

Yeah. That didn't take long. Great delivery by Jimmy, apparently. I hope the ****er doesn't get banned tomorrow

 

[Nozzer]

3 overs, 0-1. Good start.

 

[Red Hadron Collider]

Dhoni's gone now!!!!! Another corker from Jimmy snapped up by Butler, who now has 6 catches so far. He's having a good match

 

[InBiscanWeTrust]

Dhoni gone. 4 wickets left... Surely we can't can we?!

 

[Red Hadron Collider]

Dhoni gone. 4 wickets left... Surely we can't can we?!

If Can can, we can

i said 300/7 at lunch yesterday evening

right now that looks wildly optomistic... for india

I can see this being a 4 hour slog of pure defensive and pressure for this lot for last few wickets... 240/9 at 5pm? anything could happen

 

[Red Hadron Collider]

Rahane is starting to flow. We need him out. NOW

WICKET - Jadeja b Moeen 15 (Ind 152-7)
Goldenarm strikes again, but it's a horrible shot from the left-handed Ravindra Jadeja who tries to hit against the spin and Moeen Ali sneaks the ball between bat and pad.

not your wish but another wick means my target of 7 before lunch is acheived.

that now leaves the tail wide open.

moeen for a part timer is getting one hell of a haul of wickets

 

[Red Hadron Collider]

It worked again! Sort of. Jadeja bowled by Moeen. 7 down

 

[moreinjuredthanowen]

WICKET - Kumar c Anderson b Moeen 0 (Ind 152-8)

WOW!!!!

 

[moreinjuredthanowen]

has a part time bolwer ever taken a 5 for?

unprecedented

 

[Red Hadron Collider]

****ing hell
