Wow.

77 more.

 

[Timbo]

One - go South Africa.

Two - that shitfaced bloke having a snooze is my hero.

This will be a world record if they get it right?

Yep, biggest chase ever.

66 to get with 14 overs remaining. 6 wickets in and with Faf and AB set.
Unbelievably its now theirs to lose, they should cruise home!

Pretty sure.

66 runs needed off 15 overs.

6 wickets in hand.

My hero too

First time I've ever said this.....GO SOUTH AFRICA!!!!

 

[8Ball]

Yep, biggest chase ever.

15 overs must be bowled in the last hour.

 

[chigurh]

100 for AB.

Man this guy can bat. Probaly the most valuable batsmen in cricket if you were to weigh up their contribution to all three formats.

 

[Patorick]

66 to win off 15 overs and this is the last hour of the game. MSD is in conversation with his mates in a huddle. What can India do here?

Great game..f**k work can't turn off the tv

 

[8Ball]

This light issue is adding to the drama.

 

[some11]

Paging TPB reverse mocker.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Going for it

 

[vvvrulz]

15 overs must be bowled in the last hour.

Yep true.

Required rate is over 4 but with wicket in hand it shouldn't be a problem.
I predict Faf will continue to block it away while AB has a couple of swings.

India are blowing this big time, don't forget they were 2-315 carrying a slim first innings lead. Seems only Kohli and Pujara figured out how to bat here and the bowlers fizzed out.

 

[vvvrulz]

This light issue is adding to the drama.

Cricinfo says the lights have come on, so play should still continue under lights anyway?

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Both teams have contributed to a great game

 

[Wizardman]

If this game is stopped due to bad light, test cricket is in deep shit.

 

[8Ball]

Cricinfo says the lights have come on, so play should still continue under lights anyway?

The commentators said that the umpires asked one of the teams to bowl spinners earlier on in the test match so a standard has been set.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Here we go

 

[some11]

AB gone.
