[Cricket] The 'Especially for Billy the Fish' 2nd Test Eng v India at Lords thread

[Simster]

27/2

Scores level. Well well well...

 

[jakarta]

No-one else watching/listening?

Anyway Wood strikes again. 35-2 (or 8-2 if you wish to be accurate)

 

[The Wizard]

I’m honestly trying to remember the last time I heard Kohli on the stump mic and it wasn’t a swear word, potty mouth.

 

[jakarta]

Curran finally does something... Kohli goes.

India 55-3

 

[Pevenseagull]

England were out to 10/1 on the exchanges day 1. Now odds on favourites.

 

[jakarta]

Genuine Test Cricket going on here, both batsmen grafting their Innings. 103-3

 

[The Wizard]

Feels like a day 4 batting paradise on the sub continent somewhere, not Lords. Very slow, sticky wicket, very un English.

 

[The Wizard]

Really excellent umpiring in this game.

 

[jakarta]

Woods injured, not very clever fielding...

 

[jakarta]

Rahane goes, Pant probably going to go daft now as there isn't much left. 177-6

 

[The Wizard]

175-6

Jadeja bowled by a snorter from Ali, Sharma now in new ball next over - need to get them out under 200, anything near that worries me with England’s batting.

Thank god Ashwin isn’t playing against us, looks like it’s turning into a Bunsen.

Kohli is hilarious, floodlights on and spinners bowling, he wants the players off, desperately remonstrating from the balcony to get the batsman out there to complain

Absolutely embarrassing, players going off. Test cricket shoots itself in the foot, once again.

Yep. Not a good look really.

 

[Billy the Fish]

Great day of cricket though. All 3 results still possible

I wouldnt like to have Root bowling at me in these conditions...

Just the three?

Bbc website

“England took three wickets for 20 runs to leave India 181-6, 154 ahead, with all four results possible on the final day.”

 

[CHAPPERS]

Robinson gets Pant with a lovely NUT. Into the tail proper.

Lead 167.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Come on Sir Jimmy. Wrap this up.

 

[Titanic]

Don't want too much of a WAG here from the tail... 180 the lead

Back on the field and straight into the attack! Hope he can STEAM in.
