If he was getting out, it did look like bowled behind his legs was looking favourite. Damn.

Bloody rush of blood from Root.

That’s it, now, I think. India will win this.

 

[waspish]

Sweep does root we at least 100 from what we can defend

If only England hadn't thrown away three wickets.

Not at all, we are well in this

I admire your optimism.

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Quick century in a session from young Jamie wouldn't go amiss

 

[johnny crossan]

Dreadful shot from Root, probably cost us the game. Very bad.

 

[BringBackSwales]

I admire your optimism.

It’s just gone a bit lower

 

[waspish]

We fucked stokes could get us to 200 if we lucky

 

[johnny crossan]

Stokes is poking around at butterflies now, the other day it was ladybirds. He needs to focus.

 

[city5189]

Stokes might as well treat this like a T20 game from now,try get to 250

 

[Corky]

Two down for 40 in power play, Lanky on top.

oh my Hornby and my Barlow long ago... game in hand we'll qualify for the finals and the yorkies are toast.

 

[KS55]

Not yet. Big partnerships - the current and next one. They’ve got to take us to 200 at least

Are you optimistic?

 

[melrose40yarder]

Agree with your first two but not Duckett. He’s a class above those two

Very true but he dont half play some wank shots.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Are you optimistic?

Yes

It's a great battle, you just never know if you are in and settled ? every ball could be a wicket

England have given 2 wickets away after lunch with Root and Smith with a poor shot and bad defending
175 lead is not enough, but Stokes has to bat with the tail, it could be fun if Stokes starts to swing the bat and gets a quick 50 or so, 250 is not enough and India will knock them off before tea tomorrow

I want a Big Stokes innings right now England Needs You

 

[wattle]

Are you optimistic?

Said earlier 200/6 would be good so if we get to that then yes. We can play with some more freedom if we do that and hopefully get to 250. That’d be very hard to get. My only worry is Bashir. No where near good enough. A half decent spinner would have been invaluable on the last day. I don’t think Bashir is even that level. Hope he proves me wrong
