lapal_fan Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 40 more tips the balance in our favour I'd say. Wonder if Root would be thinking about saving the tail (if we DO get to 100 lead) and having a few overs at them in the evening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share Posted September 3, 2021 Huge wicket from nothing. Pope didn't deserve to drag on there, great innings. Gotta hope we can edge this lead close to 100 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted September 3, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 3, 2021 How many times have we seen Woakes batting with the last man? This is why he should be higher up the order. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted September 3, 2021 Moderator Share Posted September 3, 2021 Bowler went down holding one leg and is now being treated on the other leg. Odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted September 3, 2021 Moderator Share Posted September 3, 2021 It must be very satisfying as the last wicket partnership when you're scoring runs and you know each and every single one is driving your opposition nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milfner Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share Posted September 3, 2021 Don’t you just **** love Chris Woakes. Run out as I was typing. Lead of 99 and an hour to bowl at India. Will take that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a really stupid review India look like they could post a daddy score here. You just know we'll lose both openers for about 20 runs.

PaulC Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 (edited) 100 run lead, only 1 down and Kohli to come on a flat wicket. Tired bowlers. Only two results possible now. Edited September 4, 2021 by PaulC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted September 4, 2021 Moderator Share Posted September 4, 2021 From slight favourites, to a likely draw to now wondering if England's batsmen will have the resolve to avoid defeat. Hell of a day for India. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted September 4, 2021 Moderator Share Posted September 4, 2021 If you're India, how long do you bat here? Tomorrow lunchtime? Tomorrow at tea? How big a lead would you want to feel confident and how many sessions would you want to bowl England out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted September 4, 2021 Moderator Share Posted September 4, 2021 Just now, blandy said: This. Assuming weather is good I'd think so, the lead by then if there's no interruption to their rhythm would be about 350 - that ought to be enough I guess. Of course if England then made it through the fourth day with fifty or sixty on the board without losing a....heh...I mean without losing a..a...haha......ah....oh forget it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only2McInallys Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 You wonder sometimes how much taking the new ball has an effect mentally on bowlers and batters that causes wickets to fall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 I wonder about Root's captaincy. Woakes still hasn't bowled a ball with the second new ball yet. Its bonkers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
