Brilliant test all round that
Yep definitely
Now all three of our most successful run chases have come at Headingley
India and England both make 387 in their first innings
England slump to 87-4 before lunch. Top order just isn't reliable.
And have reduced India to 58-4 :popcorn: England were all out for 192 in the end
3 wickets in 40 minutes this morning. :popcorn:
...India 81/6...who'd have thought it.
India clinging on here...surely Jadeja isn't going to see the tail home?
Lovely - Kumar just before lunch! Particularly as the ball has gone soft here...
Eighth goes just on the stroke of lunch.
They were just starting to creep towards it becoming nervy
I certainly was :lol:Quote:

59 needed. Definitely squeaky now. Get Jadeja and you'd think that'd be that, but.....
Correct - I'm very nervy again now. Soft ball looks easy to deal with..
This is going south now :unsure:
Bumrah gone :lol:
Not Jadeja but still only one to go
Wouldn’t be fun if it wasn’t a bit of a nail biter
True dat.Quote:

My comment did the trick :lol:
To paraphrase, one ball is all it takes....
Been a good test series so far
India will have to win both remaining matches to get their first series win in England since 2007
Test cricket when it is like this is amazing.
Ffs. I ran down from work to watch the last wicket. Missed it by seconds. After watching for an hour (ish) on lunch and seeing 0 wickets and many dot balls.
Stil, wonderful entertainment
You watched for a whole fucking hour and nothing happened.Quote:

Why are we always putting the Indians in to bat, I don’t know what the weather is like at Old Trafford. But if you win the toss you should bat first barring exceptional circumstances.
Actually as things stand on day three we are doing pretty well, excellent bowling from Stokes and solid batting. Shame Brooks went out cheaply, but everyone else putting on a decent knock. Whether it’s enough to deal with Australia in the winter who knows, but looking good to win this series.
We are in piss taking territory at the moment. 658-9 (a lead of 300), looking for the innings victory
Stokes out for 141, he and Root have clearly enjoyed themselves in this match
669 in the end
And in the spirit of taking the piss even more, we’ve taken Jaiswal with the 4th ball for a duck
And another with the next!
0-2 :lol:
The most dangerous score.
1-2 now. India back in it before lunch.
India closed with still only two wickets lost.
Fuck.
Looks like it's going to finish in a draw, unless something crazy happens in the last couple of hours.
Brilliant from India to dig in, though England look remarkably toothless without Stokes making something happen with the ball.
Have to say the Indians fully deserved the result in this match in the end. They batted obdurately
