I think that's what Root wants. Doesn't want us all out & them chasing 400 in 115 overs.North Lower Neil said:Crazy this, staying out for an extra 5 overs makes sense of you aim at a quick 30 odd runs.
Blocking and padding the ball away is getting us nowhere and costing us time.1 -
100 overs should be enough to bowl them out. And 100 overs gives Archer and Anderson three goes with a new or relatively new ball, if needed, ten today, ten in the morning and a few, late on tomorrow.
Trust in Root!2 -
Another bloody maiden, what is the point of this?!0
-
They are never getting these runs on this track , the risk to score them would lose wickets ....
Chuck em in now we can't lose , quote me
india win 0%
England win 50%
Draw 50%0 -
So what was the wicket like in 2008 when India won comfortably with time to spare in their run chase ?

I hope that we end up winning this Test by exactly 26 runs. Because that's the difference in the number of no balls that India have bowled (27) as opposed to our one!3

That would be stressful. Right up @AFKABartram’s street though.Addick Addict said:I hope that we end up winning this Test by exactly 26 runs. Because that's the difference in the number of no balls that India have bowled (27) as opposed to our one!0 -
silverwood and root off to the changing rooms... no chance of a declaration for the next 15 mins then0

Don’t know, but from the pattern of the scores it looks like the pitch got flatter as the game went on. There were hardly any wickets for the spinners in the 3rd and 4th innings.soapboxsam said:So what was the wicket like in 2008 when India won comfortably with time to spare in their run chase ?0 -
Jimmy Anderson was in the team in 2008 when India won so his advice will be noted.
Plus we had Swann, even though Monty was better in 2012 than 2008.

Spinners bowling no balls
Run outs as well
Just shoot em in the kneecaps , give em something to remind themselves not to be so stupid2 -
No point in not enforcing the follow on because you don't want to bat yourselves on a day 5 pitch.......then wanting to get over 400 runs because you think the opposition can bat all day & chase down the runs.
Bonkers.

DECLARE NOW !!!!!!1

I don't understand the gameplan here at all0
-
buttler out and no hint of a declaration... why? Why send out our bowlers to bat? Keep em fresh.0
-
getting a little silly now playing into Indian hands.
We will see if this is good captaincy but don’t believe any other team in the world would still be batting in the current situation.0 -
Are we banking on having two bites with the new ball? 8-10 overs tonight and the same again tomorrow morning? I don’t get it otherwise.1

England have borrowed the “Lee Bowyer weird tactics “ manual2

That's what Cook guessed at. Still odd, time surely more a factor.AshBurton said:Are we banking on having two bites with the new ball? 8-10 overs tonight and the same again tomorrow morning? I don’t get it otherwise.0 -
Even that review looked like it was designed to waste time!0

dom bess gets out lbw by hitting the ball. The fuck?3

I would have said having enough overs with the 2nd new ball was more important.North Lower Neil said:

At this rate we will only have in total around 105 overs at them, so no more than 25 with the 2nd new ball.0 -
Yes.AshBurton said:Are we banking on having two bites with the new ball? 8-10 overs tonight and the same again tomorrow morning? I don’t get it otherwise.
Arguably three. A first bite this afternoon, then, after a night's rest, another go in the morning with the ball still hard. And still time for a new ball late in the day if needed.1 -
Can you experts explain to me how you are out LBW after they said it hit his bat first ?
1 -
Leach showing more attacking intent than Buttler0
-
Run rate now dead on 4 an over. When Root & Stokes were together it was at almost 5.
We've been going backwards since tea.0 -
If you were India would you even be trying to get wickets at this point? Dry up the runs, let us bat on...

If they said that then they are wrong - it hit the pad first. You can't be out LBW if it hit the bat first,soapboxsam said:Can you experts explain to me how you are out LBW after they said it hit his bat first ?
