This is gonna be a draw. 100%.

Mr Optimistic over here....

Going to collapse here, even if Root pulls out another class innings.

Anderson's on fire, 4-2 :cool:

MarcLister · 25 Aug 2021 at 14:39

67-7.

Overton takes 2 wickets in an over. :cool:

How is Anderson still able to bowl like this at 39! He's 8-5-6-3!!!

67-8 apparently!

Been a good performance so far, look like we've got the bit between our teeth after last weeks dismal display. Just rattle off these last 2 and see how the pitch plays for us.

edit - 1, pointless review for the hat trick.

What on Earth is happening here lol?

CGrieves · 25 Aug 2021 at 14:59

So 78 for India. Can we expect England to make more than, say.... 30?

robfosters · 25 Aug 2021 at 14:59

India collapsed like an ass after a vindaloo!

Thats some turnaround from England. An almost flawless day from them and catastrophe from India, hopefully this will give them some confidence and enable the results to be turned around.

Rooty's really in the form of his life, so good to watch. Off to Headingley tomorrow, can't wait...

SoliD · 26 Aug 2021 at 16:39

Rooooottt, another fantastic innings. He's playing like Smith played against us couple of years back where we just could not get him out!

Gonna be hard today. Oval pitch is dead as a dodo. Batsman getting an age to set themselves

been a good day so far, England have got some good movement by sounds of things, hopefully your prediction plays through once we get into bat

When suddenly 13 wickets fall in an Oval test day :cry:

England need to get through this first hour without losing a wicket to have the confidence to get through today let alone chase it down!

I feel this is going to be extremely difficult. My prediction is an epic collapse and an India victory.

Didn't want to say it but this is the way I see it going!

Is there anywhere that shows the required run rate?

Mason- · 6 Sep 2021 at 13:50

I don't see us losing this tbh. I think it'll be a draw or England win.
