England Versus India - 1st Test (9 Nov - 13 Nov)

[Dr Cricket]

good points arthur really good 50 from Ashwin, could have easily loss the game had he gone for a naught with the pitch going now and them probably having to bat 4-5 session to save the test.
very important innings from him.

[Arthur Crabtree]

I'm expecting England to get bowled out, so won't have control over how many they set. A first innings lead at least means every one of their second innings runs counts.

Pretty hard on Broad not to get that wicket.

50 for Ash. Good innings.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Well done to Ashwin on the fifty. First since the two centurions, so not a bad return for the bowlers.

Rashid might get his 5 wickets but for how many extra runs 40 maybe.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Cook's drop is proving damaging, given a useful lead can quickly be whittled down to insignificance. A 75 lead and I could have imagined England leaving India about 250 in two sessions. A challenge.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Rashid might get his 5 wickets but for how many extra runs 40 maybe.

This stand won't be good for morale.

[meninblue]

57 runs balance now. What a strong reply

[hopeforthebest]

Surely Woakes or Stokes should be on bowling Yorkers to Shami.

[meninblue]

50 only left

[hopeforthebest]

Moeen finally bowling around the wicket to a right hand batsman.

[Dr Cricket]

Boom England trailing by 49 runs got a feeling India winning this game

[meninblue]

Bring on spin from both ends.

[hopeforthebest]

I asked during England's first innings where's this 19year old blocker we were promised. He's missing again. Is the plan to score quickly and go fora win? that would be out of character for captain Cook.

[meninblue]

Need a collapse like they did against Bangladesh.
