peasy23 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Root gone. Big question now is can England see it until the end of the day Will be a disappointing end now after they were sitting at 350-3, should have been looking for 450-500. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 8 down, 340 lead. England should declare tonight imo then let the bowlers loose tomorrow with almost a full day's rest in the tank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll hope Overton and Tommy Robinson can stick another 30-40 on to the total. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left Back Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) Liam Livingstone currently batting in the blast at Taunton. Skelping it everywhere. As I hit submit he chips it straight back to the bowler Edited August 26, 2021 by Left Back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely nothing to be gained in declaring just now, much better to keep India out there, and hopefully get frustrated by the tail having a good wag. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d imagine they’d declare at 9 down rather than have Anderson make his usual 7 from 32 balls. Those Overton runs are probably ensuring that England won’t have to bat again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, there's so much time left that having Anderson just annoy them by sticking around and putting more miles in the bowlers legs is worth it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Shandrix Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Had a look to see if there's any rain due. There's no rain due. Rahul if he gets in could hang around for a long time but you know it's only matter of time before Rohit tries the hook for 6. I just don't trust him to play test match cricket. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaggyness Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 What a catch at second slip from Bairstow. Rahul goes right before lunch.An outstanding catch, 7 times out of 10 those go down.

India would need another 400 plus runs from here to make England a little twitchy. It's not happening. I love listening to Bumble and Mikey but I wish I could mute the crowd. That don't take me home song is fucking horrible. Edited August 27, 2021 by Jimi Shandrix 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Shandrix Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Stumps, India 215-2, 139 behind. Really good effort by Kohli and especially Pujara. New ball should make all the difference in the morning for England but if these two could see it off...... they couldn't could they? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
