    It's fine. These two and Robinson will see it through to 200+.

    I like listening to Finn and Cook but can't they go back quicker to the live action when the batsmen are walking to the wicket ?

    It shows that they are in a studio approx xxxx miles from the venue.

    So difficult to tell but I suspect that it will be down to how quickly we can get the bloke out who has almost 300 more runs in the Series than anyone else. He's averaging over a hundred and even a 60 or 70 from him may be enough for them to win it.

    Good catch from the little lad.

    Hartley's batting getting quite predictable now.

    What a disappointing day

    Hartley c Sarfaz B Kuldeep 7
    133/7 

    Robinson lbw Kuldeep 0
    133/8 (179/8)

    Kuldeep 4/16 in his 10 over of wrist spin.
    I thought we needed to set them 250 to 275.

    We are struggling to set 200.

    Followed by a poor review 
    Robinson out.
  • Options
    I'm not sure what the debate was about Robinson reviewing that. It might have been smashing into all three but with three reviews in hand and Shoaib and Jimmy to come it had to be a no brainer to do so. Unfortunate that it was "umpire's call"

    133-8

    Robinson is a dim as he looks.

    This pitch is like a dangerous dog:
    One minute you are tickling it's belly and it's benign and the next it decides to take a chunk off your arm.

    What's happened to Bazball ?  What's happened to Stokes striding down the wicket & slogging it for 6  ?  Seems we're back to the usual push & prod and out within a few balls. 

    Lead of 200 wont be enough. 

    Stokes have been starting slowly since Baz has turned up as well as before unless he needed to go for it from the get go.

    Looks like we are trying to bat out 4 sessions & leave them to get 250 on the last day. 😄

    Two days left I'm afraid

    No point in knocking it back now. Hit out or get out and let's get them in tonight.

    Bizarre way for Jimmy to get out.

    Not sure the reverse really was the solution but there it is. A duck from Anderson and India need 192 to win.

    We need to score 200 this innings to have a chance of winning. 
    I reckon we will fall well short of that unfortunately 
    Not the hardest prediction to get right .

    I think there has been far too much reverse sweeping in this series.  I get why it's played but it always seems to carry risk, particularly when tail enders attempt it.

    Anderson c Jurel B Ashwin 0

    A pair for Jimmy and he should be dropped down the order !

    145 all out 

    Ashwin 15.5 overs 5/51
    Kuldeep 15 overs 4/22
    Jadea    20 overs 1/56
    Siraj        3 overs 0/16

    10 wickets to the top class spin attack who all turned up in this innings.
  • Options
    This 30 minutes or so is massive. Get Jaiswal and we are well and truly in the game especially as they have three batting match winners missing in Kohli, KL Rahul and Pant. 
  • Options
    The reverse is one of Jimmy's favourite shots though. In this situation England either needed runs or a 25 minute session against the Indian openers. Defending for 7 overs would have been pointless.
  • Options
    Root opening the bowling. Will Shoaib be bowling at the other end if the intention is to get Jaiswal out?
