[seasideone]

India win toss and bat

 

[Born_in_the_Fifties]

11/4 before the toss, 9/2 after.

Had to place two bets on England to win

Morning all

 

[Born_in_the_Fifties]

24 for 2 in the 6th over, Wood strikes twice!

England to win now 2/1, no more bets please...

 

[seasideone]

33/3

 

[seasideone]

93/3 Lunch

Englands session.

 

[pooljimbo]

Need Rohit quickly after lunch to make it count. If only Root had snaffled that chance when he was on 20 odd.

Morning all

Gutted when I saw 11/4 then realised they were odds rather than India's total

 

[Raging_Bull]

That drop by Root starting to bite our arse, if Rohit goes on to make a big ton it's a game changer.

What was you saying about Sharma

 

[seasideone]

Hard work this!

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Well from 33/3 to 165/3 is some turnaround.

These 2 running away with it same old story I’m afraid.

 

[Raging_Bull]

The thing is with India there's always some batter that steps up to the mark and gets a big score, you may get some joy and think you've got them on their knees but time after time one or more of their top order comes up and gets a big score, hence why it's so hard to win there.

Then there is a little problem called Jasprit Bumrah......................

 

[Raging_Bull]

What was you saying about Sharma

Remind me pal, what did I say about Rohit Sharma?

 

[Wizzerboy]

That

Rohit looks to have gone on to make a game changing score

 

[Raging_Bull]

That

Yeah, that's what I said, Root's drop is biting our arse

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Where’s all the crowd today?

I’ve never seen an Indian crowd so sparse?

Probably all fed up of us keep being the whipping boys.

 

[fcblackpool]

Thought this started tomorrow

 

[no9]

Getting whupped now

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

End of play 326/5.

Jadeja still there on 110 and Debutant Khan hits a feisty 62.

We’re already chasing the game.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

You can always tell when things aren’t going too good we’ve not had any comments all day.

India tail wagging surprise surprise 436/9 do we have any hope at all?

Edit last wicket for England under review and not out.

 

[Raging_Bull]

All out for 445, now we prepare to face Bumrah and his chums, I'll be amazed if we get anywhere near 445.

The pitch is good , prepare to be amazed.

Not correct Jaffa - like with the football there are always more posts when we are poor than when we are doing well. It’s the fundamental rule of AVFTT

Managed to negotiate a tricky spell before tea. 31-0

Not sure that’s right to be honest.

We used to have people on here who were up at 4am watching from the start where have they all gone?

Yes solid start need to see out the last session without losing a wicket.

I refuse to sign up to TNT.

It will be the same with the FA Cup.

 

[Chunkylad]

Always enjoy watching these T20 games

 

[Leither]

Maybe 445 is under par

 

[GJJW]

Awesome this from Duckett

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Excellent century from Duckett let’s just hope he’s not the only one making a big score.

 

[Hankey2009]

Excellent day for England. If Root can get a score and a few cameos we could get very close to the India score, ideally get to 500 and watch them bottle it as I think India will be extremely nervous right now!

 

[Leither]

Dominant display from England and now in the driving seat.

 

[Mark_GT]

Well we are all set up now. Fantastic job. Let's hope the middle order push it home tomorrow, time for Joe Root to come to the party. Facing their bowlers on day 4-5 will not be easy!

 

[Raging_Bull]

Fabulous innings from Ben Duckett, he really took the game to India today and played superbly.

Joe Root simply has to deliver now after a very poor series to date, if these two can carry on and get a good partnership going we're in business.

Ashwin out of third Test over family emergency - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/68303676

 

[GJJW]

I'm not sure if they can have a sub bowler or just fielder?

Same here Wiz, but I'm pleased that my eldest daughter gives me permission to use her dynamite subscription

Plays effin' havoc wiv my body clock though, another large bacardi n coke then up at 3.30-ish

 

[hertfordseasider]

Can we manage to get in and build a score or will we be 257 of 8 in no time

 

[Wizaard]

Ashwin already had 2 warnings for running on the pitch, costing them 5 runs. Don't you get banned if you do it again?

[bfcpete]

Askwiin has left because of a serious medical emergency with his mother. He will not play again in this match.

Sad news for him

They can't add an extra player to bat or bowl, just a sub fielder

 

[Born_in_the_Fifties]

Yep very sad news that.

Only a substitute fielder, eh?

Let's lend them Monty Panesar...
