Here we go with the new ball. We need a wicket before tea.

There are still 44 overs left. There's no way India can bat that out.

Is there?

Nah.

Uh oh. My natural ingrained English fatalism/pessimism is beginning to kick in. We're going to draw this, aren't we?

TheCenturion · 25 Jul 2011 at 15:54

Been at lord's since 7 o'clock. The atmosphere is electric. Loads of Indians!

Dhoni gone - here comes the tail!

Weebull · 25 Jul 2011 at 16:21

COME ON

Cosimo · 25 Jul 2011 at 16:29

228-6 and 38 overs to get the rest.

platypus · 25 Jul 2011 at 16:47

How on earth did Bowden not give that

?

oli collett · 25 Jul 2011 at 16:48

well that is a terrible LBW decision. That couldn't have been any more out.

Pitched middle, hitting middle half way up

Alpherah · 25 Jul 2011 at 16:50

Bowden said he hit it..
If he really thought that he hit that i mean ..
Saying it might be going over. Hell it pitched middle but saying it pitched off the line would be a more credible excuse then saying a bat which was half a mile away hit the damn thing.
Cop out of an excuse..

Against England anything is possible.

Tuffnel was saying earlier that players love days like this where they "have already done all the hard work", it's that kind of mentality that leads to complacency and gives opponents a chance.

Terrible shot by Raina this time. Not long now

.

Cosimo · 25 Jul 2011 at 16:52

Yes, caught him. 243-7.

Alpherah · 25 Jul 2011 at 16:52

Without terrible umpire decisions this could be over already =/

ringo747 · 25 Jul 2011 at 16:53

3 more to go. Great viewing this.

Weebull · 25 Jul 2011 at 16:53

Yessssssssssssssssssssss.

Not really. The wickets that have gone have been those that survived the legitimate appeals.

To be fair, it's been quite lucky. All the batsmen that have gotten away with either incorrect LBWs or dropped catches have walked just an over or two later. Therefore, Raina must be out in the next few balls, right? :cool:

Alpherah · 25 Jul 2011 at 16:57

Poor broady, just not going his way today and for once he has been wronged by bad decisions
