    Good stuff - well played struass

    need to bat until lunch tomorrow at least and let monty and swann spin us to victory HOPEFULLY.

    Turning wicket after a couple of days - lot of foot holes for the spinners to hit

    200 for 4.

    In danger of chucking away a good start. Need a good innings from Freddie.

    Colly got a dodgy decision apparently
  • cfgscfgs
    Need to bat for the close now, we can still make 350 if we do not lose anymore in this session.

    Anderson survived (17 balls) with Flintoff, so only 5 down at the close.

    Day two: India 37-3 v England 316

    Graeme Swann took two wickets in his first over of a remarkable Test debut as he helped reduce India to 37-3 in the first Test in Chennai.

    The spinner was given two lbw verdicts by Australian umpire Daryl Harper, amazingly removing Gautam Gambhir and then India's "Wall", Rahul Dravid.

    India were replying to England's ponderous 316, in which Matt Prior's unbeaten 53 was a vital factor.

    Spinners Harbhajan Singh and Amit Mishra each took three wickets.

    England seized control of the first Test as India slumped to 102-5 in reply to England's patient total of 316.

    England 300 - 7. Lead of 375 Runs. Prior and Harmison in bat. 10 mins before tea in day 4.

    India likely to bat after tea.

    80 for none

    England need 6 wickets,
    India need 85 runs.

    Which is the better...............
  • cfgscfgs
    Their assault last night turned the tide of the game and from then on they expected to win and today they have been reasonably comfortable

    Too right. You should never let a team score the highest score of the match in the 4th innings but as cfgs says, Sehwags assault turned the game for them.
  • MiserableoldgitMiserableoldgit
    We lost yet ?
  • Chris_from_SidcupChris_from_Sidcup
    Not yet but they only need another 40-odd with 6 wickets in hand

    yep

    unbelievable losing that test.

    the f****** bowling was absolute pants - Panesar was coming round the god damn wicket - how defensive is that no chance of LBW - grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
  • SpankieSpankie
    A typical 'England' defeat. Win 4 of the 5 days and still lose. Didn't have the quality in the bowling and it was so frustrating watching the game float away. Still lots of positives to take away from it. Freddy's and Swann's bowling in the first innings and the batting of Strauss and Prior. We need the likes of Pietersen and Cook to step up to the plate and make some runs...
