Think we will get them 130ao. Indian players don’t have the minerals and haven’t for years.

Well they did ok last test but yes probably are relying on these two still in ?

[leicsmac]

All comes down to Rahul and Pant (and maybe Jadeja). The former will take the game away from you slowly, the latter two quickly.

 

Getting those early doors will be critical.

I actually feel a bit nervous for today. 

 

And I don't think it's because of the result. Whether we win or lose I don't want any of the team to go overboard with the emotions and reactions. 

 

Have a bit of fieriness and bite and needle, but don't take the piss or shout in someone's face. 

 

Can just feel it get a bit edgy as a result approaches. And I've got no idea which way that result will be...

To be fair there's only one team that's shouted in the others face so far but Siraj has been fined for it so hopefully that's the end of it.

Shouting, yes. But the verbals have gone both ways. Which is fine, like I said. I just don't want it to boil over to the point where it gets disrespectful.

Buzzing for this one, get Rahul and Pant in quick succession and it's well and truly on.

I can't wait.

[StanSP]

I think that's the game done. 

Can't defend against this bowling. 

[leicsmac]

Breakthrough. 

 

Excellent from Archer.

How's that finger now Rishabh....

 

KL is absolutely critical now, feels like he's got way more time than anyone else.

Huge.

 

One more wicket and I'll believe we can win. 

 

[dmayne7]

Good. Think it's a bit of a nonsense that he's allowed to bat at all, just as it will be if Bashir is allowed to bowl having not fielded.

 

Great player but he's also ridiculously lucky in virtually every innings. Going hard earns you a bit of luck but not to the extent he gets sometimes

Any comment on Archer shouting in Pant's face?

Dunno. India bat pretty deep and the bowling attack is very inconsistent

[Craig]

Atmosphere like Soccer Aid every time the ball gets within 50 yards of the boundary  

 

Nice to quieten them a bit early doors.

Held a good line this morning straight away though. England don't need to force it, just slowly chip away.

[Super_horns]

Archer at it again!

Yeah not really necessary to be honest, particularly as Pant seems a decent lad.

[StanSP]

This could be a close one for Rahul. 

 

Ball is nipping back so much! 

[StanSP]

And Rahul's gone. 

 

No way our final 3 batters are getting 100+.

[CL Fox]

I ****ing love Ben Stokes.

[AKCJ]

That KL wicket is absolutely massive. It makes England favourites.

[StanSP]

Game over. 

[HighPeakFox]

Ooooo
