See, we can still stay up with the rate without having to smash Bumrah. 12 off that over. Only 2 left of his.

 

[waspish]

Run rate gone up in last 2 overs

 

[jazzy]

160 - 4 13 overs gone , still doable

The problem is we’re just keeping up with the run rate and 1 wicket will fuck that.

If Bethell gets 100 and Jacks 50 then we’ll be left with about 40 left and then it’s doable with the tail smashing a few boundaries each before getting out.

15 consecutive sixes from here and we're in the final, piece of piss.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

We’re actually ahead of where India were at this stage of their innings.

yup...inside 3 overs...

Yeah but Archer conceded 20 off the penultimate over.

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Good strong umpiring

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

That's a phenomenal catch if he's avoided the rope which I think he has just about

That’s okay, we’ll take 30 off Bumrah’s last over. ;)

 

[vmsuhail]

Wow...what a catch

 

[domalino]

If he left that it would have been another wide.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Damn, that was probably going to be another wide.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

I forgot Gambhir was India’s coach. There’s another reason to want them to lose.

 

[Djibrilshairdo]

This has been a great effort whichever way it goes.

My favourite knock of Gambhir - 100 runs in some 300 balls against England to draw the game at The Oval.

Edit: I got it wrong. It was against New Zealand > 137 from 436 deliveries, while following-on.

Didn't Gavaskar have a knock of 10 runs off 200 balls or something??

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

Wow scores exact same after 16.2 overs!

Sikh Mitchell Starc is finding a very good length here right in the blockhole difficult to hit
