s'ok.. its a quick scoring rate... we are after 230? 106 scored and root at the crease and several guys itching to come after that.... i said declare at tea or latest 5pm so its entirely down to 400-450 lead and having time to win it.. we can easily draw it

 

[moreinjuredthanowen]

Eng 124-3 (lead by 363)

 

[moreinjuredthanowen]

Eng 148-3 (lead by 387)

cooks got another 50.... root is getting going

 

[moreinjuredthanowen]

and drinks

England 161-3 (35 overs) - lead by 400 runs

must be close to declaration

 

[Nozzer]

Root out, England declare on 205, so lead of 444. India 445 to win.

That would beat the world record run chase by some distance. It's all about the bowling and fielding, but their tails should be well up

I assume you mean fielding, or is this friendly cricket?

 

[moreinjuredthanowen]

I'm glad greez doesn't come on here. He'd have had a ****ing field day with that clanger

25 short of mine I'm sure it'll be enough.

 

[moreinjuredthanowen]

you're a right strauss then.

29/1 is a start... india have been stumped but will be very annoyed that a run out happened at all

 

[moreinjuredthanowen]

moeen strikes again. jordan great catch.

this boy really does have the golden touch

 

[Red Hadron Collider]

Couldn't have dreamed of a better start. Huge , huge pressure on the Indian batsmen now

 

[Nozzer]

LBW for Dhawan, not given.

Yeah and it's another umpiring **** up. Those two ****s want sacking

 

[Red Hadron Collider]

Dhawan starting to get a grip. I want him gone. NOW

 

[moreinjuredthanowen]

i think at the current 78/2 india were similar in first innings with different batsmen.

i think 445 is more than 100 extra than they did in first go..... i cannot see it happening but i can see us about 380/9 at 6pm tomorrow

 

[moreinjuredthanowen]

oh my my root is spinning now 80/3 and a real celebration.... fair play to him.

 

[Nozzer]

Dhawan starting to get a grip. I want him gone. NOW

Your wish is Root's command.

89-4

Surely not even we can mess this up
