I'm a Blackcaps supporter so had a lot of success in the ballots. A lot of my England supporter friends applied for tickets across a variety of matches and the ballot allocated precisely NONE. England matches are invariably harder to get tickets to, yet the Indian's and Pakistanis do somehow manage it.

I wonder if it’s proportional representation. Just a thought

7 wickets in hand yet don’t seem to want to try and put our foot down

Do we want to win ?

As much as I love Joe Root, it's frustrating Buttler has not had a look in yet. It's not the sort of innings that has needed anchoring.

Now is buttler’s chance. We must have the record dismissals from boundary catches

Yes, it can only be proportional representation because there isn't any profiling happening. But nine times more India supporters in England than England supporters in England wanting match tickets? Surprising.

A bit more like it from Buttler and Stokes, unfortunately losing wickets at crucial times. 310-5 with 18 legal deliveries left.

He's wrong. The ballot was opened last August.

A reasonable score; (some of) the Indian bowlers have kept the score down pretty well considering. India will have to do well to get this, but it's certainly not impossible.

Will 337 be enough to win?

What a biased ****. He didn’t give England any credit anyone would think we’d been bowled out for under a100

It would be a world record if India manage to chase it.

Think people are being a bit overly pessimistic here - against one of the best bowling attacks in the World, that was a very, very good innings.

If our bowlers can keep the run rate as it is now we shall be ok but our fielding must also be top notch including ROOT.

Tremendous insight, thanks [emoji106][emoji16]

I’ve just been exchanging messages with an Indian colleague - told me at least half his mates want England to win, because it’ll mean Pakistan more likely to go out [emoji23][emoji23]

I think we came up about 30 runs short of
a winning score, unless there is a mini collapse soon I can see India making it.
