Cricket 2019

[RowlattsFox]

Not a bad sub fielder to bring on 

[deejdeej]

That was brilliant, what a catch

lovely jubbly.

 

Are India playing to lose so that Pakistan don't make the semis? 

No comment.

[StanSP]

Really good knock from Bairstow 

[leicsmac]

350+ needed minimum from here.

[HybridFox]

One of the frustrating things today. I'm British Indian and very proud of my heritage. But being born and bred here, I have and always will cheer on England. 

 

I often get stick from others but it's same people who will then be rocking England shirts during a football world cup.

 

If you'd cheer on the county in any other sport, why should cricket be any different?

 

For the record, I have absolutely no problem in whatever team someone chooses to support. But please don't preach!

Who's preaching?

My favourite! Star Tours advert 

[Chiltern Fox]

I like the India 2nd shirt, but feel it would be better if the back was blue like the front. Keep the arms and sides orange.

Vaughan won't be pleased.

[StanSP]

245 after 40.

 

Target from here... 315? 325? 

 

[deejdeej]

Can Root either just go for it or get himself out and let Buttler do some damage.

350 nothing less.

 

Actually take that back as the spinners are done.

This is why England are frustrating, looking great now and should win with any score in the 320 330 area... great one day, total rubbish the next ... like the football team 

[leicsmac]

Still could be looking for 340ish I think.

[EastAnglianFox]

Not sure India wanted to get Root out 

[Mike Oxlong]

Will need to bowl well 

 

Not the just the over used short ball without variation 

[Mike Oxlong]

I’d have shat myself if that Butler 6 had been arrowing towards me !

Yep, more than happy to have Jos and Stokes in at this stage! 

[Mike Oxlong]

Bumrah’s good at sticking it in the block hole 

[Chiltern Fox]

I reckon the indian lads wont mind a loss today. Theyll have a nice meal tonight, regroup and move on. These things happen. 

[StanSP]

5fer for Shami. Deserved it for the way he bowled early on. 

 

Ironically Bumrah has kept it tight and conceded far less but no wickets to show for it. 

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Being very picky but that wasn’t a great knock from Root. 

[leicsmac]

Late late show from Stokes here.

[purpleronnie]

Decent score this but should've had 30-40 more.
