I see Extras stormed past the half-century too and is now closing on Dhoni's score.

Never mind Cook, maybe Extras should aim to beat India's score.

Cook gets his 250.

Why do our players keep having to leave? I don't understand. I thought we just ran back and forth between those little sticks, and left the long walks to the Indians?

Boredom?

You really have to look twice at some of these scorecards these days with England involved. A few years back there never seemed to be many huge scores.

GarethSouthgate · 12 Aug 2011 at 15:36

Still quite disappointed that TC is not posting.

Fair enough, the team is losing but it's time to face up to facts not cry in the corner.

Edit - Actually, he hasn't logged on since the 4th Aug so perhaps there are other reasons.

Maybe he got arrested for rioting in Tottenham?

Prior gone 613-6.

Squark · 12 Aug 2011 at 15:40

Lol
Middle order collapse? (kinda)

Pighardia · 12 Aug 2011 at 15:41

The fightback begins now. And you thought we were safe!

Weebull · 12 Aug 2011 at 15:41

Bloody England, collapsing again. :mad:

ringo747 · 12 Aug 2011 at 15:41

I think England need to learn to change the pace a bit better. They should have put the boot down ages ago. I know Cook won't do that but in general they take so so long once they have a huge lead.

It was understandable though. The India attack was so bad that Morgan and Bopara couldn't afford to get out cheaply so they just concerntrated on building an innings

Surely Bres, Broad and Swannage will hit the gas now?

mmj_uk · 12 Aug 2011 at 15:45

Are we likely to declare whilst Cook is still in? it's not like we're short of time to bowl them out.

Pighardia · 12 Aug 2011 at 15:46

I'd be very suprised if they didn't declare today. Surely they will want some time this evening to bowl at them

strumpusplunket · 12 Aug 2011 at 15:46

He (and Strauss) sure to have Gatt's 333 on his mind, surely?

I doubt they'd declare with him unbeaten, just no need to

Swann must be licking his lips the way the ball's moving.

Squark · 12 Aug 2011 at 15:51

Cook must be taking a bit of a break, he hasn't put many runs on in a while.
