[Austin 3:!6]

Guys honest question...not watching the match as I am in office. But can we lose this game???

[zen]

Shami and Pandya should be bowling

[rkt.india]

seems like these two guys are going to do Razzaq-Akmal on us.

Eng would need 87 runs per session. Ind needs just one good session .... For Eng to win, it would have to be like what Laxman and Dravid did vs Aus .... Make your bet 

[beetle]

I am switching off.

When I switch on,2 wkts will be off.

Doing well. Eng still needs 341 runs 

Yes but is the ball reversing? Did we drop any catches?

Eng needs to win 4 sessions. Ind 1. To win or draw, the equation is the same for Eng, i.e. win 4 sessions 

 

What would be interesting is Eng gets close to 300 today w/o losing any wkts. Which means having to get some 250 odd runs on the last day (80-90 runs per session). Getting those runs consistently session after session is difficult. For a draw to happen, most likely a session would have to be rained out

They will bat all day today and tomorrow. Match drawn, Kohli’s effigies burned, Shastri will have to take police protection and all the newspapers will have a field day !!

Those days are over, people arent crazy about cricket any more unless its WC.

[RAZPOR]

still no 3rd slip...f off kohli

[Number]

Virat needs to calm his bowlers down. 

Ask them to not try too much and be patient just keep things tight.

[Lannister]

Kohli need to whip the bowler's asses. They have become complacent seeing the enormous score.

[SK_IH]

Why is Pandya not being bowled

[zen]

Buttler on 82 and going strong .... but work still not done as Eng have to win all the sessions to win/draw

[Mosher]

Bring on Shami

[Sgattick10]

Butler, Stokes coming back to form, bad news for us rest of the series.

[Nikola]

Bumrah has bowled 18 overs today so it will be hard for him to bowl towards end of day.

[Laaloo]

If we get a wicket, everyone should do a tahir celebration..
