Moeen got a few balls to turn just before lunch so England will take a bit of heart from that. ....And India will be once again ruing the decision to leave out Ashwin.

Did he not order the same lunch as Kohli at the team hotel or something? Seems bizarre to leave him our especially at the Oval where historically there's been a bit of turn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 England will be hoping for a miracle spell with the new ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I had 180 4th innings chase in my head as the point where India would be favourites, barring something wild they'll be miles in excess of that now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 India totally cruising then shitting themselves completely in the first new ball over. Two quick wickets to Tommy Robinson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimi Shandrix Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Rahane is a lucky lucky boy. India still need another 100 runs I would say. Some beautiful drives from Kohli this morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Shandrix Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Good start for England. Rahane has just had a nightmare of a series. India 197 ahead. 5 wickets left. Plenty more required. Now is the time for Kohli. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Shandrix Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Kohli goes with India 213 ahead. I'd fancy India if they set England 300. Much less than that and England will be in the game. Pant's not going to stand and block for long but hopefully he's got the sense to try and get to lunch and then have a chat about things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Unless Root goes big I think India already have enough tbh, Pant has been shite so far but half an hour of him finishes this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Shandrix Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 That's a strong contender for worst review of all time. That was England's last one as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Shandrix Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Thakur goes to a brilliant 50. The lead goes past 300. Think these two might start smashing it about now. Buckle up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimi Shandrix Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Got to ask why didn't they get the spinners on before now? Think Jadeja will enjoy bowling out there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 368 the target, then. This deck is a road, so it isn't totally out of the question. India obviously strong favourites though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Shandrix Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Tail played beautifully. India as a bowling unit finally showed up. 367 should be enough. Not impossible for England but highly unlikely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO if they try just to bat out for the draw they have no chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England need to be positive, but not reckless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 On the one hand you are expecting England to collapse at any point, but on the other it's hard to see how India get 10 wickets here without some help from the batsmen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
