England v India 5th Test, Edgbaston (1st July) Match Thread

[toosb]

Third is due, when the reverse stops

Indeed. They have to get this sorted. Its utterly ridiculous.

 

[dixonsafc]

That’s a dolly. Bairstow should be gone.

 

[Ghfd]

..
Vihari thought it was Kohli but it’s a drop off bairstow on 18

 

[McGregor]

221 runs to go. That doesn't seem too many with 7 wickets in hand. We've got this

 

[Ghfd]

..

Again umpires absent as siraj in bairstows face

 

[FatDrummer]

Just stare the f***er down Jonny!

 

[Ghfd]

You watch post match an England player will be fined.

Probably stokes for slow over rate

50 partnership
,

Great sweep rooot

 

[FatDrummer]

Steadied the ship….now steer it to port.

 

[McGregor]

I'm at graft now and will miss the rest of the match.. Someone please take pictures of Kohli looking pissed off when things start going England's way. And share it on here.

There's not much better in cricket than seeing his face like thunder the utter c unt that he is.

 

[Ghfd]

If I was kettlebrough or root, I’d ask for them to check the ball shape

Reversing being said . Not sure if a batsman can get a ball changed?

Cue Vesuvius Kohli if that happened
..

Fly in the eye. Must be that kebab meat joe,

 

[FatDrummer]

Aye…Siraj….don’t diss the Yorkie when his marra is at the other end.

 

[HarrogateMackem]

Another free fifth-day tomorrow. Great stuff!

 

[Ghfd]

Another free fifth-day tomorrow. Great stuff!

I’m wondering if they slip a few pence on the beer?

Cynic me
..

Not seen much reverse all summer until now.

Get that ball checked, way overdue on this summers performance

No bother if they do imo. Nobody is forced to buy beer and it means that even if you can't afford cricket normally you can get in. Great for expanding the game I reckon.

Also absolutely love the way we've taken the white ball stuff into the red ball game. "Bazball" or however we're calling it means that no chase is unachievable now. Yes, there will be occasions we're bowled out for less than a hundred... but I'll be here defending it. A new era for the game and something other countries will adopt in the near future imo.

Agreed, it’s been great these last day freebies, hopefully it continues with another England win

Siraj is a monumental bell end

 

[Ghfd]

Siraj is a monumental bell end

Petulant child flinging the ball like that.

Another one the umpires let go with not a word

Root needs to play on it

 

[FatDrummer]

Siraj is a monumental bell end

Comms (rightly) going on about the idiots moving behind to bowlers arm….but Sweet FA said about Siraj’s petulance and throwing the ball in Root’s general direction.

Siraj is a monumental bell end

They all are.

 

[Ghfd]

Big shout, no review

He middled that before it hit the pad you tit
