What's a good score?

280 would be an amazing score to defend, whether we get to something resembling this is another matter.

280 lead?

That’s out…..

Time for Johnny to step up…..

Said Ashwin is a big problem we ain't getting a big score here as in 250+

 

[waspish]

Time for Johnny to step up…..

And steps out

Is anyone really surprised at the way this is unravelling? We should have been over 100 ahead on first innings, not 50. Now we have that lead, but with three wickets down.

That’s out…..

No way was that out.
That was like giving the dippers a pen at anfield.
Honestly England coaches and Root himself knows he's been shafted.

India were always going to fight there at home I thought we be around 80/90 ahead but thought 50 on this pitch it's decent lead if bat well. Think 250 lead is a 50/50 score to who will win it! I want 300 minimum preferably 350 but we have to bat really well to get anywhere near those scores

Made that comment on initial viewing, you’re right dubious decision

 

[waspish]

Good 50 for Crawley! He goes on and gets a match winning innings here all my doubts about him will go..

 

[heslops barnet]

Pro Indian commentary doing my head in……

 

[waspish]

Typical Crawley and why I dont back him to in this situation to win us the match with a big innings!

What do we reckon is a winning score?

What do we reckon is a winning score?

Pitch looks okish depends how our inexperienced spinners bowl 250 could be enough I'd want 300+ lead to have it in our favour another 130+ to this score now we need for me..

 

[meeesh]

What do we reckon is a winning score?

Need at least another 150 from here I'd say, to have a lead over 300/320 for them to chase

Edit - Which isn’t gonna happen unless they have a swing, which is what they about aren’t they, was a tad unlucky but equally shite Stokes there, get it twatted like you can, all on Bairstow here to get a ton………yea ok

 

[heslops barnet]

kin Stokes….

 

[discopop]

Good bowling? Fucking hell it was a completer shooter you clown.

 

[waspish]

kin Stokes….

Unplayable ball that like his first innings one!

Think Root was cheated out of his wicket..

 

[BringBackSwales]

Begs the question why they left it 24 overs before bringing Kuldeep on
