[Pevenseagull]

How many overs left today?

 

[Titanic]

Bairstow caught at slip... a tiny shaft of light in a dismal day for Kohli.

Jonny Bairstow c Kohli b Mohammed Shami 29 (43b 4x4 1x6) SR: 67.44

 

[Titanic]

How many overs left today?

23.3

 

[Badger]

Bairstow gone

350-4

Wheels coming off

 

[pasty]

Boooo, really wanted to see the top 5 get 50

 

[Gwylan]

I can't recall many more one-sided test matches than this. India looked like the best attack in the world during the last test, they're like the Dog and Duck 2nd XI this time around.

 

[jakarta]

Good news for India at 350 runs down, Buttler and Ali next up...

 

[Titanic]

The wheels are coming off

Jos Buttler c I Sharma b Mohammed Shami 7 (12b 1x4 0x6) SR: 58.33

360-5, lead 282

 

[big nuts]

NSC Gold.

Must admit even I (Mr Chase the odds) didn't bet on England this time.

Agreed. So pleased I was wrong. Such a good bowling performance, all four seamers had complete control. India just couldn’t score.

 

[Sid in the Sharknado]

Now past the record for the largest first innings deficit overturned to win - 291 by Australia against Sri Lanka in Columbo in 1992.

I'm starting to feel confident we won't lose.

 

[Titanic]

England 378-5, leading by 300

Root 116* Ali 8*

 

[jakarta]

Not heard much from Kohli today?

 

[Steve in Japan]

Moeen Ali forgot where he was. That is, in a test match. 383 for 7.

 

[dazzer6666]

So……now the collapse is on……..India score 450-500 in 2 days, then bowl us out for 100 on day 5……..

 

[maltaseagull]

So……now the collapse is on……..India score 450-500 in 2 days, then bowl us out for 100 on day 5……..

That is quite possible.
Looking like 500 plus a while ago now 400 iffy

 

[pasty]

Are they playing until 6:30 tonight? If so, and if either of these two get out we may as well declare and have 20 minutes bowling at them tonight.

 

[Steve in Japan]

I'm sure that, about an hour ago, the Sky commentators were discussing how long England might bat for, before declaring. All today and most of tomorrow was suggested. Hur hur hur!!

 

[Jeremiah]

I wonder if Kohli is so full of himself now ? I haven't disliked an opposition captain so much since Ricky " LOOK !" Ponting

 

[Steve in Japan]

Fantastic overall. But some shit dismissals. Buttler, Ali and Curran all very soft. 418 for 8.
