England v India second test Lords 9 August

[smoker]

Maybe but not at 130-4

We also don’t need to win this match

If you bowl the opposition out for 107 why would you not want to capitalise and win the match? Wins help our poor ICC standing

At lords

87 with bat
9 with ball

Jesus christ that’s impressive

Of course. And these two have shown how to do it. Positive but proper batting

Woakes has been bloody brilliant.

Showed the same positivity as Buttler that turned the innings.

Cracking decision by India to play two spinners mind

Took his time tho. Took the sting out of them when they were bowling well with 2 seamers only.

It’s not a dig at Buttler before the usual folks dive in and wet their pants

After about 7 hours playing time, England probably have enough runs to not need to bat again.

Batted India out of the game already imo.

Aye, I would be tempted to declare or go into T20 mode as soon as YJB has his ton

Exactly what I was thinking. Forecast for tomorrow is dodgy.

After Bairstow century hit as hard as you can, next wicket declare

I wouldn't declare but I'd start smashing it now.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

That lbw review, even though it was outside I thought the ball did not do enough to hit the stumps.

 

[Jack Torrance]

If Stokes is available for the next test, who misses out

Just agreed with you before I read your post

Should declare now

 

[SAFC11]

I blame woakes for hogging the strike

 

[rugga]

Can someone put the score up please, BBC & Cricinfo both showing 231 for 5 still.

330 for 6

Still think we should have declared after Bairstow went. Poor captaincy, far too cautious.

Absolutely. May not play again until Monday now. Stil back us to bowl them out in a day mind
