He has been bowling 93 and 94 mph.. touched 95 on occasions. I think he is the fastest bowler i have seen since Tait. Sheer pace and also has very good length and control.

No, today's an anomaly/or something's up with the radar. There's no way he's actually above fast medium....unless he's put on 10mph over the summer, which quite frankly is impossible.
Hmm..
I am sure he will play the next match, so we shall wait to see if he can sustain.

We'll see, would be great it if were true...but for now I'll remain cynical.
The speed radar has been fine for the rest of the bowlers.
Perhaps, but it may not be picking up his action. As I said, it's a complete anomaly, it's a kin to Praveen Kumar turning up one morning and bowling like the wind at 81mph.
Dhoni and Raina again superb partnership.
England 173/5. India with a great chance to win at last.
If we win through being just ahead now in this weather, India would officially be tremendously unlucky.
I mean, we have a decent enough chance of winning even if play resumed, but I fancy India to win in a full game today.

LOL. England sneak ahead on the D/L as the rain comes down.
Think we'd win. 39 off 30 with 5 wickets and 5 overs of powerplay.

What a fecking tour.
haha...gamesmanship...
India wanting go off for the rain(England behind the D/L), but England have now gone ahead of the D/L and England now keen to go off, while India want to stay on

This tour is fecking unbelievable.
Hammering down now. England have won surely.
4 overs off powerplay with 2 wickets to left as Broad isn't batting and Anderson isn't a great batsmen. I don't know about Finn. Chances were 60-40 in India's favor.
Play to resume in 10 minutes. Never trust English weather.
The covers are coming off.
What happened to Broad? I haven't watched the game until the last 10-12 overs or so.
England need 19 from the final 3 overs.
Bopara's played very well, taking his chance with Morgan out & KP rested.

Swann time wasting. Very poor IMO.
Triceps injury, Swann run out.
Swann run out, Munaf Patel of all people!
11 from 8 needed...

England just ahead on D/L, but it's starting to piss it down. This is brilliant.
Finn on strike? Oh shit...
Bopara gone!!!
India on the brink of victory at last...

Oh dear Bopara is gone! What's the D/L now?
England behind on DL, they need to be 271 (I think)
Is it going to end a draw? Scores are level on D/L.
Going off, feck this man finish the game!
It's going to be a tie, if it stays like this.
They are going off. With the scores tied.
It would be typical of the way India's summer has been if this ends a draw just when they've got the two worst batters out there and almost guaranteed to win if it carries on.
Obviously can't tell how bad it is via TV but there was a domestic T20 final a few years ago which was played in much worse conditions. There are only 7 balls left, finish the match.
feckin rain..
Swann and Bopara should have gone off before going out, considering the rain was the same when they were playing just then.
It's pouring down, it's a tie!
Umpires will wait till 6:30 before calling it off.
Rain has stopped but lots of water.
Can't they play post 6.30pm?
Can't they play post 6.30pm?
That's what I was wondering too. Surely when there's just an over to go they can extend whatever deadline they have.
