Need to time the declaration properly.
India's tour of England
- Thread starter KM
- Start date
The balance would be great with such a team.
I think 5-6 overs before tea will be ideal.
I am loving it. Absolutely loving it.
The Partnership must be almost 100 now

Good thing is that the runrate has been really good, this is beyond england now already in my opinion.
This is absolutely incredible tbf.
Bhuvi and Jaddu has been brilliant.

Excellent 50 for Bhuvi.
50 for Kumar
Perfect scenario. 6-7 overs for England before Tea
I don't understand. India are 6/5, England even money. Very few sides in history have made 319 to win batting last.
2.2 for India and 2 for England?
I haven't heard any talk of the weather. Why not just put money on both the results? Money to be had if India win.
And I think England are going to win.
The wicket is really flat and I can see England knocking off 80-100 without much trouble today.
I can't see any way we are going to chase down over 300, whatever the conditions.
What a start from Jadeja 
Brave decision from Dharmasena. I thought it was clearly outside the line from first viewing but turns out it wasn't.
2 down. Bell does not play spin well so hopefully he won't last long. Root could be the key wicket
Bell's the one you want before stumps
Done.
Bell is the best player of the spin in the England team. He is gone now anyway.
Great delivery from Ishant, kept a bit low but Bell was beaten on the outside.
The Bell I saw in India struggled badly against spin
Next wicket will be crucial. England could fold below 200 if they lose another one tonight
Don't like England's approach in this session. Looked to me that they were too concerned about getting to tomorrow with as many wickets as possible, rather than making a start on the total.
One more wicket would put us firmly in control.
There were going well till 70-1. But yeah all of the top 3 aren't the ones who would score freely if they wanted to.
Get in. fecking get in.
Brilliant.
Cook gone!
Rain needs to stay away now. Wonderful.
Enough is enough, time for Alistair Cook to be stripped of the captaincy. It's clearly to much for him and it's effecting his form. If he wasn't captain he'd have been dropped by now. Same with Ian Bell, he has been poor of late.
Bell out, KP in. Time for grovelling.
Keep Bell. Prior out, Bairstow in. Drop Cook for a bit and bring KP in. Get rid of the cabal that wanted KP out.
KP?
Kevin Pietersen
I thought he retired from International cricket. I am wrong..
Who thought it was a good idea to kick Pietersen out of the England team?

It wasn't his choice and if reports are to be believed, it was Cook and the selectors who thought it was a good idea to force KP to retire early. KP has said he'd play again if asked.
They'd have to get rid of everyone then. Make KP skipper, coach and selector. Would probably still perform better, though.
Bringing back KP would be like bringing back JT in the football. He's quite good, but it's not the answer.
Moeen Ali will smash a ton now.
tht segment with Zaltzman just now was funny haha.
These 2 will put on a 100 together, then there will be the inevitable collapse. I reckon we'll make 280ish.
More like 170ish - all over before lunch. Spinners will rip through lower order on a turning wicket once Root goes.
