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

[dixonsafc]

Like Aleem dar , it’s the first one today

Could be, don’t think it’s been confirmed on comms yet

Should be though

Today and tomorrow were extended to 98 overs so I think they can play til 7.

Wouldn't last two minutes with George Bull at CLS in the Durham Senior League halcyon days

This is getting in the squeaky bum time with bumrah in his last spell of the day

Passed halfway now

My 200 for 3 at close is going to be a way out, if these two stay in

Athers just said 630. Should be playing on though

Seems daft they’d add an extra 8 overs on and not any time. Especially considering how shite the over rates have been

Bumrah is a brilliant bowler....but he does have a grin like a village idiot.

Exactly. They’ll be walking off again in clear sunshine

161 needed. Not far off my old working man’s club membership number that

He’s head and shoulders above their other bowlers. Always looks like he’s going to take a wicket.

59% England.

I can't help but think KP will be fuming as England trot along nicely

 

[Julio_Schwarz]

oh god i unmuted and its KP again....

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.

Win tomorrow and i'll defend it indefinitely from now on, just for the look on Kohlis face
