England v India - 4th Test

[chelt_mackem]

England win the toss and bat first. Team unchanged from Edgbaston.

Kumar injured for India, RP Singh in. Shame that, Kumar has been one of the few players they've had here who has looked bothered, and always been entertaining.

Hopefully the weather won't intervene and we can top off our position at the top of the world rankings with another convincing victory and a series whitewash.

Ha'way then, nice big win and a whitewash.

Doesn't feel like a Test Match at all, I've seen more excitement at Shildon.

With this bowling line up, on this pitch England should easily rack up 500+

be surprised if they play again today. London is dark, wet and grim and no blue sky for the eye can see
