Yeah, we need bowlers who can bat well because Cook is shitehouse.

Nice work Pav

Watch as the inevitable last wicket stand takes them over 400.

 

[spring hall convert]

Looking at the pitch, we've stuck to our task well here. All the seamers emerge with credit.

Spin - 13-0-76-0 though.

Top WAGGING from Shami and Kumar... 51 partnership

If you were to write a book on what to expect from an England cricket match, a 50+ stand for the opposition's last wicket would be one of the first things you'd write.

Bloody hell - 417/9

Spin 18-0-99-0

A record 10th wicket stand for India v England of 74 added by Shami and Kumar

 

[The Wizard]

No doubt we'll probably be all out for about 200 with Cook edging behind for around 20.

Game changer this. 350 and England were in with a shout....at 420 the best we can do is draw.

Yeah, it's a long series, we need to make sure we don't lose this one now. It would be nice if we could grind the Indian bowlers down and keep them out there for a while.

Given how the Indian bowlers toiled against Leciestershire and Derbyshire reserves and the beneign state of the pitch we should be able to get up to and beyond 400.

The track is docile enough for us to do that......but I have my doubts about out batting talent.

Still you never know.

Hopefully England will be batting later in this session... then we will find out how 'good' this wicket really is

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Shami went in to bat, with a Test batting average of 3.33, and a high score of 11

 

[Pavilionaire]

Christ aloud, how many more balls will Shami leather?

Pre-today: 9 inns, 20 runs, 3 boundaries avg 3.33

Now he's more than tripled his average, tripled his boundaries and tripled his runs. Get Harmison and Swann back in the side!
