Re: England v India

50-1 at the close, reckon India are favourites - they don’t deserve to lose the series.

Missed the last half hour, Crawley out last ball wasn't it?
India just favourites I reckon.

India are strong favourites. Chasing down 350+ in the final innings is still a huge ask, despite England's heroics in that regard in the last few years.

Is there no chance of them batting the day out without overhauling India's total?

The draw is 33-1

Re: England v India

Game has swung hugely in England's favour now, less than 150 needed and still seven wickets.

Root has anchored the innings and just got his fifty with Brooke seeing it like a football.
India desperate to break this partnership and have been unlucky not to have taken more wickets, especially Siraj.

Re: England v India

India get 1 of these out with with still 70 or 80 to get and its still game on.

Would Woakes bat if say 10 needed.?

Yes I think he does. I’m not old enough to have seen the famous occasion where Colin Cowdrey came out to bat with a broken arm against the West Indies with nine wickets down and three balls left. England got the draw without Cowdrey needing to face a ball and his injury was more serious than Woakes I’d have thought.

I think he will as well but hes clearly got a bad injury as hes an Ashes doubt.

Some terrible fielding there by India. Very lucky Kohli wasn't captain.

Re: England v India

Brooke gets his ton of 91 balls, was dropped on 19 too.... by Siraj!

The catching from both sides has been dismal.

Hasn't it just. England probably worse.

Game on now.

Re: England v India

What a series this has been. 35 need 4 wickets left and one of those is Woakes with a dislocated shoulder. Superb cricket
