Nah. Conditions are perfect for bowling. England can regroup.

No point having perfect conditions if you're bowling a spinner.

And it's not like the conditions are suddenly going to switch to being great for batting if we get back out there tonight.
 
Rested bowlers + new ball + tricky conditions.

Yeah, good luck with that one!
 
With the heavy clouds overhead it's unlikely the light will improve anytime soon.
I am sat here, it is no worse than it has been afternoon. Building up to a grat climax. A real cricket OG to go for bad lift. The ****ing flood lights are in, jeez
 
Also, don't underestimate the power of momentum, which had swung a long way in favour of India.

Absolutely it had. No question that halting that momentum is useful for us.

But it also could have halted by Smith hitting the spinner into the stands a couple of times. We weren't that far away from both of the pacers being replaced.

Disagree, in the context of the game they were staying on. The series as at an end it was **** or bust
 
Maybe, but not the fans who spend a lot of money. For a match building up to a real climax. Tomorrow they will play out overs or so, and I am guessing wirh less than 5000 fans. Sorry but cricket does not help it self
Better to finish the game in dry conditions though, clearly the outfield was deemed too wet. Unfortunate for everyone, but that's the weather for you.

It is not though mate. I am looking at it now.it is fine. The covers though loon to be from the 1980's and that should be looked at
