Fourth Test: India v England, 8-12 Dec.

[rich1uk]

a glimmer of hope

india's lower middle order has looked pretty good in the series tho

patel very lucky first ball that didn't go to a fielder

[Dr Cricket]

spin vs Parthiv patel should be a good watch.

[Dr Cricket]

Loved beefy comment there about england overrates.
feel odds to see England actually wanting to bowl overs here now.

[Dr Cricket]

Wait england haven't taken the new ball yet.

[Dr Cricket]

lol parthiv patel get out to Root.

[rich1uk]

cook off the field, root as acting captain brings himself on to bowl and gets a wicket in his first over

[Dr Cricket]

Massive wicket, Root get another one. Ashwin might be out.

[Dr Cricket]

Looks like this test is going to be a cracker.
massive period in the game for both team now.

[rich1uk]

nowhere near the helmet, bit ridiculous for ashwin to questioning whether it was a fair catch

golden arm root strikes again

[Dr Cricket]

Need a score here from Jadeja.
india got a slightly bigger batting line up today with Bhuveshnar kumar batting at 10 and yadav a decent slogger at 11.

[rich1uk]

wasn't an easy catch but rashid will think he should have taken that

[backfootpunch]

Rashid drops kohli again

That could be massive

Then bowls him a pie to rub salt into the wounds

[rich1uk]

there was a surprising stat on commentary, this is only the 5th test at this ground in the last 12 years

i know the BCCI likes taking tests all over the country but would have thought one of the stand out grounds would have got more games

[hopeforthebest]

A lot of talk about an extra batsman rather than 4 seamers but Woakes and maybe Ball are more likely to score runs than Duckett or Ballance. The extra spinner would have to be Dawson who is the better bat.

Dropped a few this winter, Rashid. Not having a great test at all
