[Cricket] England v India, Fourth Test match, The Oval, 02-06 September

[HCxUK]

If (when) they set anything over 250 we are done for.

Being outplayed by a far better side

Massive wicket, nice one Moeen.

Indian coaching staff go into isolation ... Pant suddenly discovers how to bat in test matches.

 

[pasty]

Just want India to keep batting too long now. Can't see England winning from here, so the longer India bat now, the more chance we have of saving the draw.

Awkward last hour or so for us tonight, then start tomorrow morning at something like 35-3 I reckon.

Terrible position to be in. Would be best to let India bat out the day. As it is will probably have 10-15 overs to survive against the New ball.

 

[pasty]

No no no. Stop taking wickets England

424/8

 

[pasty]

9 down

India lead 351

 

[pasty]

India finally all out for 466

England need just a measly 368 to win

Five minute job.

 

[vegster]

Five minute job.

That's the time for India to take Burns and Hameed's wickets.

 

[jakarta]

Bloody hell, this is awful. Rather we got thrashed than this slow death.

You could copy and paste that into the England v Andora thread

 

[pasty]

Milestone 1 achieved. Under 300 required to win

71/0 Burns 29, Hameed 39

 

[dazzer6666]

Well played………great to get through to the close without losing a wicket

Fascinating day ahead tomorrow

 

[*Gullsworth*]

Is it possible? Fascinating, will England go for it if they lose a couple of wickets for 60ish runs before lunch?

 

[jakarta]

England 77-0 at close, not a great Test pitch is it?

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Bloody hell, this is awful. Rather we got thrashed than this slow death.

This is proper Test cricket.

None of that 2020 or 100 malarkey here.

Agree but England may revert to the short game if we reach lunch with no loss of wickets and chipped 60 from the total.

No.
