Finally

 

[tomw24]

Boom!

 

[st_brendy]

Double finally. But really good innings, as expected.

Now need to go bang, bang, bang.

 

[st_brendy]

Poor drop. Annoying drop.

 

[Lemons and Oranges]

That was a good catch! Eight down, now!

 

[tomw24]

Welcome back Abbas.

Welcome back Abbas.

Shouldn't that be on the music thread

Will take that bowling display any day of the week. Pulled ourselves right back into this.

The worry is what comes next!

 

[tomw24]

Well, I didn't see this coming when we were 40/1 earlier in the day!

Well we've had a reprieve thanks to Keith and Mo, lets knuckle down and just build an unbeatable score with no stupid shots, time is not an issue.

Basically, it's a three day, one innings a side, match. Draw it is, then...

Not only has that partnership between Hain and Burgess ultimately given Warks a little lead, it should have also saved them from needing to bat again tonight.

Nah, at 9 an over, Hampshire will declare after 10 overs, and knock Warks over before it gets dark....

9 balls gone of the innings. Weatherley has already got away with three edges...

 

[tomw24]

Well that's the deficit cleared without losing a wicket.

 

[st_brendy]

I had two targets for England tonight. Clear off the 68 runs. Don't lose a wicket.

One target ticked off...

From 80-20 to India, I have it now cut to 60-40. We're right in this chase tomorrow.

Two. Excellent work from Burns and Hameed, not to mention a blessed relief for Craig Overton.

I’d go closer than that, even favouring England slightly. They basically have to get 3 an over with 10 wickets in hand on an absolute road. The only chance India would have is spin at both ends.
