Cricket: England v India (Test Series)

IR Bell c Laxman b Yuvraj Singh 159 (206 ):clap:

End of over 80 MJ Prior 3( 7) Yuvraj Singh 8-0 -31-1 EJG Morgan 70( 86) SK Raina 7-0- 30-0

80.2 Kumar to Morgan, OUT , the new ball does the trick. Morgan is gone, edging another nifty little outswinger through to MSD. A fine innings, but he will be the first to admit India gifted him some of those runs with those part-timers on-ESPN

I dont think Trott can bat though. 450 be great, but i cant see it. 300/350.

5 wickets down now, 6 if Trott cant bat.

edit: Trott is batting

INDIA 288 ENG 221 & 335/5 (81 .3 ov) England lead by 268 runs with 5 wkts Min overs remaining 19.3

Trott out. 339-6.

50 for Prior.

408-6 Lead by 341

England 441-6. Lead by 374 runs.

Incredible day for us, starting day 3 on 24-1 and losing Strauss early on. Fantastic innings from Bell, good knocks from Pietersen, Morgan, and over 100 partnership from Prior and Bresnan at the end. 417 runs on day 3 :)

Obviously the talking point will be Bell getting out and then Dhoni withdrawing the appeal, in my opinion it was bad to appeal in the first place, its unsporting and not the way cricket is played. I thought it was desperate from India, fair play to Dhoni for withdrawing the appeal.

Kiss goodnight to that No.1 ranking India :D

Highest 4th innings chases, only ever been 4 over 400..

Now 450 lead coming out of the haze.Do you see it Paul?
Now the morning session should yield England at least 100 or more runs(If Eng tail hold on).That should bring them close to 500 lead.Then should they declare,India will have to bat almost 5 full sessions which will mean this is going to be a do or die game.Either India will make that and change the history,or they will demise on the way.A draw would be highly unlikely considering the Eng pace attack and vulnerable Indian middle order.

Yes, i should be more confident an listen to you :laugh:

After the wicket of Bell, Morgan and Trott followed, we could of easily been bowled out quickly. But this England team bat all the way down. Prior is the best wicketkeeper in the world at the moment.

We have Broad and Swann to come yet both can bat, so should get the 100+ runs.
