It's a shame India's bowling isn't as good as their batting.

England have got one hell of a job to do here.

339, under lights, in India against the fans....

Would be one of the best run chases in history if they could do it!

Sachin, wow, little master indeed! 47 ODI tons!

Great effort there by Munaf.

Ladies and Gents... Munaf Patel!!

I can't find england vs india online streaming anywhere

I looked it is not even on the bbc or itv, all i can find is bbc radio streaming. They wonder why i don't pay tv license.

This is why I don't rate India as high as most.

They lack discipline IMO.

If they didn't lack it and had better/consistent bowlers + fielders they would be as dominating as the Aussies were years ago.

Strauss gets 50 and 100-1 up.

Stewy · 27 Feb 2011 at 14:35

Trott that's simply appaling.

sigma · 27 Feb 2011 at 14:46

132-2.

Told you it was doable.

Locke · 27 Feb 2011 at 15:06

Since when does distance factor in when it's pitched in line and is going on to hit the stumps?

Stewy · 27 Feb 2011 at 15:09

Think it's because it means hawkeye is less accurate iirc.

edit: Strauss

Weebull · 27 Feb 2011 at 15:12

Not a bad chase, this.

What a player that Tendulkar is.

Locke · 27 Feb 2011 at 15:13

England getting runs easily and seem to be heading for a win tbh, Indian bowling terrible under pressure yet again.

It means if you're more than 2.5m down the pitch and it hits you dead in the middle etc, you can't be given out.

Loophole?

You can as it's at the umpire's discretion. Terrible decision, even Bell was shocked after watching it on the screen.

Who needs Tendulkar when you've got Strauss. \o/

Strauss has batted well but he has been fortunate. The crowd are so loud that not even Dhoni heard it sound very much like Strauss nick it twice caught behind.

Psycho Ned · 27 Feb 2011 at 15:37

India throwing all those wickets away at the end looked like it didn't matter at the time...........not so sure now!

Reckon they might be a few short here.

You could end up with some very odd decisions - say if a player is half way down the pitch etc. so I guess they have to draw the line somewhere. But it was a very odd decision.
