[Tommy Smith]

India now 155/4 thanks to the Great Hoggy. He took 3 quick wickets and was on a hat-trick.

Go the Hog!

 

[JJ]

176/4 now

Hoggard's done well in Asia before, hasn't he?

 

[Tommy Smith]

176/5 now! Panesar gets Sachin. His first test wicket and WHAT a wicket.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Now 183 for 6 as the Fred chips in with the wicket of Dhoni!

England well on top now.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Hoggy takes his 5th! Pathan gone for two and now we're into the tail.

Go the Hog! Such a cult figure, such a legend.

 

[Rustay]

Never understood how Hoggard gets wickets. Still cant.

Just dont get it.

Same could be said of McGrath. Line and length, line and length...whoopedoo!

 

[TheParraboy]

India fighting back, after being 7/190

are now 7/270

Kaif 71*
Kumble 27*

 

[TheParraboy]

India now 7/304

Kumble 51*
Kaif 80*

 

[Tommy Smith]

LOL. This would have to be one of the most embarrassing periods of play in English cricketing history. Anil Kumble, a tailender, has lasted in a partnership for 56 overs after England ran through India's batting line-up.

Geraint Jones dropped a sitter off Kumble early on apparently. What a shock!

 

[Tommy Smith]

322/9. About friggin time.

However, i now expect another 100 run partnership this time from Harbaji and Sreesanth.

Kumble has already 3 half tons in his test career

Geraint Jones...well we know about him , its not surprising and something even England are prepared to live with

 

[Tommy Smith]

Btw, it looks like England have finally unearthed the quality and dangerous spinner they so desperately need in Monty Panesar.

135.4 Panesar to Kaif, WICKET, you beauty! tossed up, this one drifts in with the arm, hits the deck and turns away late, Kaif is completely and utterly foxed, ball turns away just enough to miss the outside edge and the off stump is uprooted, classic dismissal!

From all reports he could very well be the spin threat that England will need for the Ashes.

sounds promising, him and Hoggard bowled well

[Utey]

end of the 4th day
great innings by Cook and by Pietersen

 

[Tommy Smith]

Alastair Cook - another superstar in the making.

England declared overnight and have set India 365 odd to win. Sehwag gone for a duck, falling to the great one - the Hog!

1/10

 

[Red Bear]

Looks like India will be shutting up shop.
