Anyone else watching this England are rampant. Been a brilliant series so far.

Moleen seems to be the find of the summer

India 61-5 2nd inning and still trail by 154

steveo · 9 Aug 2014 at 16:54

Jimbeam3678 · 9 Aug 2014 at 17:25

Another one goes, this is ending tonight.

steveo · 9 Aug 2014 at 17:27

Moeen is getting his 5 wickets tonight thats for sure

Locky · 9 Aug 2014 at 21:33

It's about time England start to play some cricket agian.

Oof India 43-5 by lunch on the first day. Did they hire England's batting coach midway through the series?

Jimbeam3678 · 15 Aug 2014 at 14:36

43-6 Anderson

Rich_L · 15 Aug 2014 at 15:59

Oooof 94-9, at least the ECB got their full 5 days worth on the pancake pitch at Trent Bridge

Evangalion would have been proud to start this thread lol.

Cook back, and growing in to a captain. Ballance and Butler arriving. Root excelling. Jimmy rampant.

Great series, and just what we needed!

I did it in his absence , he does frequent other boards and has other commitments you know

We get on really well....

Arthur Hucksake · 17 Aug 2014 at 07:58

Been a great summer of cricket.

Discovered we do have a replacement for Swann, Jordan and Woakes are starting to get to grips with things.

Cook finding form again, Ballance justifying his place.

Only downer is Robson tbh, no idea what happened there.

This should be all wrapped up today, tidy 3-1 win.

Pighardia · 17 Aug 2014 at 11:21

Excellent century for Root. Poor bowling, but still have to do it.

Root really is top class.

Edit- haha!... No ball. It is always fun watching India field when it isn't going their way.

Jimbeam3678 · 17 Aug 2014 at 11:29

Root dragged on only for it to be a no ball!

Cosimo · 17 Aug 2014 at 11:34

Been enjoying seeing England back to form again. This one may well be over by the end of the day.

LOAM · 17 Aug 2014 at 11:52

Half the Indian team are off home after this test, it looks like they are already on the plane with one eye on the IPL. They couldn't care less by the looks of them.

Arthur Hucksake · 17 Aug 2014 at 11:55

Umpire was like "Ok Broad, your taking the mick now. Off you go...."

Never out.

Pighardia · 17 Aug 2014 at 11:55

Broad wrongly given out.

Jimmy to beat his record?... Needs 83

Pretty much a joke now. India couldn't give a toss... This shouldn't even count towards Root's average tbh. It's like counting a knock around in a local park! Stop it at 100 as since then it has been schoolyard stuff from India.

oli collett · 17 Aug 2014 at 12:00

There has been some bad umpiring at times in this series but that broad decision really was awful.

Locky · 17 Aug 2014 at 12:05

England will easily win this with a spare innings.
