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.

Every ball Crawley faces I expect him to be out………

I get the feeling Duckett would wipe the fucking floor with him, he looks like he can handle himself.

Really hope the weather holds, I think this test deserves to see an outcome that isn't effected by rain.

Now you’ve done it!

The weather just about holding here in west Yorks. Getting a little bit brighter. A fine drizzle from time to time won’t send them off.
A great match. England can do it if they can raise their run rate without losing too many wickets. Accuweather says no rain for next two hours.

unbelievable knock from duckett

Typical. Forecast says no rain but off they go.

Good fun isn't it!

I think with this team if they have half a chance of forcing a result then they will.

If it's only a short rain shower don't expect them to give up on the idea of winning.

Well, well, well. It's very strange to be in a position of saying that the English weather may save India. Where last night I was kind of half thinking that it might save England.

Covers coming off :)

Halfway to the score nearly it’s overs time and the weather that will stop us winning it! Big caveat though lose one wicket then another quickly game changes..

 

[beehive_bob]

We have 55 overs left so if it stays fine England have a great chance.

you've had your break, what came before is irrelevant, it's an ODI with a target of 190. Tricky conditions, but England 1/3 favs. Let's do it.

One thing is sure to me. This format of the game, played this way, is far more enthralling to me than any of the short formats. Here we are after four and half days of cricket, and the result is still in doubt (with the possibility of the weather winning it).
Wasn't it Headingley only a few years back where we had Australia well and truly on the ropes, and would very probably have won it? Oh no, just come back to me — it was OT! (Can't blame the Yorkshiremen for everything, unfortunately. Mind you, can't blame Manchester, either, in that instance. I imagine it was glorious sunshine on Deansgate).

Here we go - the collapse.

 

[waspish]

Crawley gone to that bowler I mentioned early that gets the ball bounce more! Did a good job though but he could have been out 3/4 times!

Problem now is keeping the run rate up when wickets fall..

Here we go - the collapse.

A incoming collapse is only a collapse if 2/3 wickets go down within 6 overs
