England bat how we know they can they should get this...

 

[lefty goldblatt]

Shouldn’t Wood be on?

We could run through them here if we attack

He's probably "running" elsewhere

 

[Don Karleone]

Gotta be happy with that, looked nailed on for 380-400 at one point

 

[crooky]

Very different from their last match. Instead of rapidly increasing their run rate towards the back end they were actually slowing down as they ran of decent batsmen.

The balance between 'intent' for more runs and actually having the right batsmen playing towards the back end is not an easy one to judge even with high quality sides like India despite England often making it look so easy.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Definitely thought India were looking at considerably more runs than that.

Nice start to the innings. Back to back boundaries from Roy.

[Churchlawtonblue]

what a lovely over from Roy right up to the final ball.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

Oh ffs.

Please be quiet. ;-)

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

That was a really great ball from Kumar.

 

[Don Karleone]

Ah shit

 

[city saint]

in trouble now

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

330 suddenly looks a long way off.

 

[GX Blue]

Nothing was more certain in life than Roy and Bairstow failing today after a few days of praise.

 

[waspish]

Be easy this

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Be easy this

For India?

 

[Corky]

Livingstone will get real test now, a quick 20 won't do this time, but that was his white ball lanky form.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

That may well be that
