63-3 wish I'd had bets on these sessions today

 

[Arkle]

Don’t think woakes had a choice, Anderson was on his toes by the time he looked up

Yeah, Jimmy was getting off strike whatever happened.

 

[EchoMan]

Good effort to get a good lead but a poor way to end the innings

 

[The Rat]

Run out

of all the ways

 

[scotch]

Think it's pretty much 50/50 at the minute. We are about par, given the current conditions and having to bat last.

Would love to get a couple before close of play to put the pressure on.

3 wickets including kohli would do nicely

 

[HarrogateMackem]

India (at the moment) a very long tail. Every early wicket we can get is massive!

 

[mackembhoy]

I was going to post Woakes would get a hundred just after Moeen came in. But didn't want to jinx it.

I'll take a half one though.

Should have been double the lead we have.

Let’s have them 3 down tonight and we are right in the driving seat.

Was going to say 2 out and I’ll be happy

 

[PeteFTM]

Thought Jarvo was funny the first time, just seems a bellend now.

Also, embarrassing for whoever is in charge or security.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

82 all out

Aye but we can be greedy at this stage 2 would be nice enough.

I’m quite canny with the cricket rules but not sure re. New Ball

In today’s game India took the new ball after 80.2 overs.

Does that 81st over now count as the first (full) over with the new ball even though only 4 deliveries with that new ball?

You can take the new ball anytime after 80 overs.

Not often a team gets to 160 overs. Imagine they'd get the third new ball at 160.2

Aye, I am aware of the 80 overs point but not sure if “part overs” are taken as you suggest.
