[yobbo84]

Every time I watch England vs India it reminds me that as much as I don't like India, I hate England more... they are the Roosters of world cricket

 

[JJ]

Brilliant from Smith and Brook, both very impressive….

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Lord Woakes with the fail, oh no

 

[King-Gutho94]

6 ducks in the England innings

Brilliant from Smith and Brook, both very impressive….

Watched some of it , thought they would both get double tons easily, particularly Smith
They were 5/84, then 6/387 when Brook got out

Last 5 poles out for 20 runs
Smith not out 184, deserved a double ton, but his peaheart team mates couldn't hand around

India lead by 244,
9 wickets in hand
2 days left
Suspect they declare some point today, after tea sometime id imagine if still batting?

 

[TheParraboy]

Gill amazing again
130* (148)

4/358
India lead by 538

27 overs left day 4

Go the tonk lads for 7 overs, send them in tonight...

 

[TheParraboy]

LOL Ollie Pope

Do we remember when Mike Hussey lost sight of the ball that time

This was 10 times more comical lol

 

[TheParraboy]

Gill out 161 (162)

First player to score a double ton and a 150 in a test match

Lead 591

still no declaration ??

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Second player to score 150+ in both innings.

AB the first.

 

[TheParraboy]

Lead 602

looks like no declaration happening

6/422
20 overs left today

 

[TheParraboy]

Ind 6/427dec

England need 608 to win

Let go Bazball

 

[King-Gutho94]

First player to score a double ton and a 150 in a test match

Lead 591

still no declaration ??

530 for the test. 26 runs short of Gooch’s record but places him ahead of Tubby in second.

 

[Chins]

England really trying to kill test cricket. First 20/20 and now these f**king roads

 

[Bazal]

Shrubman really responding to being given the captaincy, holy shit.

Harry Brook concerns me for the Ashes too. He's a gun. I saw a stat somewhere on socials that England have had like 20 300+ stands in history in test cricket. He's been involved in three of them and hasn't even played test cricket for three years yet

 

[Twizzle]

lol @ poms

 

[TheParraboy]

Rain delay

Thought India could have declared a bit earlier last night

Then again, without Bumrah, they take a draw at the start of the test

 

[King-Gutho94]

Do India claim a moral victory if it ends in a washout.

 

[jargan83]

Same old England being saved by the rain
