India v England: Fourth Test, Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai 8-12 December

[jakarta]

Double Ton for the captain, 3rd of the year for him, looks likely he will go past his career best at this rate...

 

[The Spanish]

Looks like a 200 plus lead, Ashwin will then turn a few and England will collapse in a heap once again, why do I get up at this time of the morning and put myself through this?

Same this is far too early. Great knocks though fair play.

 

[jakarta]

I reserve judgement on how it will go till both sides have had an innings.

Hello OzMike, as India approach 600 are you still reserving judgement?

 

[jakarta]

A poor show by India as they only make 241 runs for the 8th wicket...

 

[jakarta]

Further disappointment for India as the skipper gives it away for a mere 235...

Hello OzMike, as India approach 600 are you still reserving judgement?

My judgement is that India's first innings will end in about 20 mins from now and England will bat out the rest of the day today and tomorrow for the draw.

 

[knocky1]

At least I got up in time for a wicket.,morning all.

0-1.

Edit 1-1
We get 700 in the two sessions today and we're in with a chance. Wonder if Hammeed was thinking 'Yeeeeeeessssssss' as Jennings walked.

49-3 still trailing by 182 runs, their number nine makes a century and two of our top four make ducks. This requires a

Just goes to show the difference in skill sets between India and England......mind you I would like to see India facing Anderson and Broad on the first day at Headingly and see how they cope with swing.

 

[vegster]

PS, probably going down by an innings by the look of it.

Which will be impressive having scored 400 in the our 1st innings

Exactly....oh and they are the current number one side ..am i surprised..no..but looking at some of the comments on the bbc site it would seem some are.

 

[jakarta]

Root goes. Done and dusted...

 

[BensGrandad]

Another poor display by our bowlers although credit should be given to the India batsmen who completed the task better than our batsmen, especially in our 2nd innings.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

182 for 6

Were loose by innngs

 

[jakarta]

Ball goes, 182-6 at Stumps, will be lucky to avoid an Innings defeat.

You can talk all you like about poor English batting but when you concede 600 plus runs you are not going to draw, let alone win.

As Nasser H. said on Sky today it would be good to see the Indian attack bowling at Indian batsman (in Indian conditions).
