80-0 its not been without luck but that's a great start to the chase

If we keep at this run rate about 4 we will be there or there abouts but we know India can make it a lot harder to score later and why we needed to go at least 5 an over first and second session

England now 4/6 for the win. India 13/5. At what point do I lump on India?

 

[waspish]

Just watched Crawley play 3 balls the first one he motioned it’s getting more bounce from this bowler the second ball he went for a pullshot and skied it very lucky third ball tried to drive it went in the air! Sorry is Crawley thick as pig shit? If a bowler getting extra bound change the shot take one of a ball get to the other end! It’s why Crawley frustrates the fuck out of me because there is a top player there but between the ears not so

Change of ball!!! This could be pivotal

2nd Test

Funny they get the ball changed now Bumrah is back

Surprised with the attendance thought with Englands history of going for it they’d be near sell out

Haha the Indian players did that how many times yesterday morning.

Maybe people fucked it off when they saw the forecast

Might build up through afternoon and after tea if a result looks likely

 

[jimharri]

Will we seriously consider going for it? Another 250 needed, off two sessions. If they got to tea, having lost no more than two wickets and having added, say, 100 runs?

We are going for it!

Just to add more meat to the bones of this, we're batting at 4.3 runs an over and need 206 more runs off the 58 overs remaining today (3.5 runs an over).

Only Bumrah and Siraj are marginally below that economy at the moment, so we're going nicely as they can't bowl all day and their economy will suffer if they're overused.

 

[GornikDaze]

Shame if the weather dictates the result today

Probably a rag as well

More likely a dipper, but for sure he’s a ****

Already are

 

[balotellishaircut]

This is amazing, didn’t think they would get anywhere near that total, come on England another 200

 

[supercity88]

A brilliant 100 from Duckett! Hopefully the celebration is inspiration for Crawley to go and get one as well. Nearly halfway to the total now, so a long way to go still but a fantastic and much needed opening partnership this.
