Lots of talk of pulling out to protect the players for the ipl that starts in 10 days time.

Does seem odd, no player has tested positive. They all test negative, if they’ve been vaccinated then just go play the game <doh>

its unclear what the result is now and this was said to be going ahead yesterday evening so people may have travelled to the ground.

I've not turned sky on to hear about it. Any fans who went deserve answers and compensation as this was on until 9am or so this morning.

someone has clearly made a call here to get players out for the IPL and who cares about fans in a pokey english setting.

I guess they fear getting it, then getting stuck here in quarantine and miss the start of the IPL.
 
On our board there is talk that the BCCI are trying to get tgexresukt changed to 2-1 and they will pay 20million . Something to do with the 5th game that will be delayed ( aka never happen) .
 
The ECB statement initially said India, who lead the series 2-1, forfeited the final Test and the series was drawn 2-2. The statement was later amended to say: "India are regrettably unable to field a team."

The result of the series is unclear.

"The result is not one for today," ECB chief executive Tom Harrison told BBC Test Match Special. "Thoughts will turn to that soon.

"It's a decision for the International Cricket Council, in the context of the World Test Championship.

"It's about making the right decision, given what has taken place, and about being fair to each side. That process will take place over the coming weeks. It is not something that concerns us unduly."

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) says it has made an offer to the ECB to reschedule the match.

"Both the boards will work towards finding a window to reschedule this Test match," read a BCCI statement.

"The BCCI and ECB held several rounds of discussion to find a way to play the Test match. However, the outbreak of Covid-19 in the Indian team contingent forced the decision of calling off the Old Trafford Test match.

"The BCCI has always maintained that the safety and well-being of the players is of paramount importance and there will be no comprise on that aspect."

India are due to travel to England to play three Twenty20 and three one-day internationals in July next year, presenting one opportunity for a Test to be played.

"Hopefully we can get it on at some other time," said Harrison. "Clearly it's not going to be the same as having a fifth Test after four brilliant matches."
 
Yeah, no way India can claim a series win here. Not being biased, they would deserve to win the series, but they've effectively cancelled what is still a deciding test, so forfeit and draw is the only sensible outcome.

I agree 100% but I bet there is an outcome where India are declared series winners . I DO NOT WANT THAT SCENARIO !!!

And has been mentioned , they all tested negative yesterday !
 
55 all out. Would be very england to lose this game… Should walk it. Just say to Roy and Bairstow go smash a quick fire 25 from 10 balls and be done with it
