Raina?
it sounds far too Aussie for my liking.
Never compare Raina with this bum.
Haha. Pant is weird.
Rishabh Pant is unbelievable.
Harsha with a great line "Leach is on.. did he just spot him on the ground?"

Leach bowling at these two = pain.
In hindsight, Ashwin for Iyer wouldve won us the game at this point..
Weird change again. Kept him in bowling as soon as there were two lefites around. Surely bowling him when there was a rightie and leftie better?
That slow mo looks terrible.. I have no idea why they decided to show it twice.
England going to win this now surely
Completely unnecessary 
India doing their best to give us a tiny chance in this match - just bat normally for an hour and we're out of it!?
It would be great fun to see us chase 400ish.
Although we'd undoubtedly be 50/3.

I see it now in hindsight too. Ashwin the batsman is easily the better option compared to Iyer
And is a decent bowler as well.
Just give him a new helmet.
11 more to get to 350.. will take it..
should be enough though.. plenty in the pitch for the bowlers

Here come the short balls to the tail.
I don't care if it has zero bit of spin, dropping ashwin for thakur is suicidal. Ashwin as a batter would have added 30 runs here.
A 35 run over here would do very nicely.. Can Broad come on please?
Nice of India to gift England a way back into the match.
350 
Now that Thakur has done his main thing, coaching staff should look to sub him off on basis on concussion and get Prasidh in the XI.
I'm gonna turn this off after lunch, painful viewing.
104-4 for that session.. not the worst. No fireworks.. but will take it.
You'll add another 50 yet.
Yeah and probably 4-5 more I have missed out on since Ganguly.
To be fair, It is only because of Eng's recent chases against NZ, 350 looks like at best 60/40 in India's favor. Normally it would be 80/20. Unless the conditions change drastically, I think we should be able to defend this.
The odds have it 80/20.
what do you think?
I think 60-40 in our favour if India get wrapped up for < 25 runs and 90-10 closer to 400.
England aren't getting close whatever India set from here. Massive difference between their bowling attack and NZ's where only Boult was really a threat.
IMO this is just hindsight bias. Ashwin's batting is not good on pitches with something for the bowlers. More tail ender than not.
Going in, Thakur seemed like the better choice(for runs, and with the assumption neither will have a significant impact on the match). Pitch seems to be turning though
This thread is just one set of fans hyping up the other team taking alternate turns
I think we're already in India 80% win chance territory.
Recency bias is getting people nervy, it's highly unlikely Bairstow/Stokes play ANOTHER once in a lifetime type winning knock.
25 runs get us to 385. I doubt 10-15 runs over that would make that much of a difference. In any case we have 7 overs to make runs since I expect us to last a maximum of 2-3 overs under new ball if we last that long.
Big wicket! Now get 'em knocked over!
That was very poor innings by Jadeja. He has these mare of innings from time to time.
really? I thought he played well
should be an easy win for England now
