3rd Test (Lord’s) - 10 July to 14 July

[GIMH]

It’s insane we have to stop play in 30 mins. If light is good, play on….

Yes the players and officials should just endlessly play as long as they can for your entertainment and to hell with fatigue.

There hasn’t been nearly enough overs bowled in the day for that to be a serious concern. You should stay until minimum overs are bowled or light becomes an issue.

and today, it’s not like one side has been fielding for eight hours while the other side hasn’t. It’s essentially split.

We probably thought Woakes was a busted flush before the Oval 2023 but it really seems like he is now.

You could convince me that was Tendulkar playing the straight drive. Has the same bat sticker too.

[King Kane]

lol Ravi Shastri must be great company on the town.

Ravi is a rockstar, he is the boss with the coin toss.

Should maintain a non-farcical over rate then

 

[King Kane]

England are getting desperate now, they are bowling Bashir.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Good catch that

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Jamie Smith this series is our Sam Curran multiplied by 10.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

I never doubted! I never doubted!!

 

[SkyBlue]

****ing Manjrekar saying 'no weaknesses' for Gill and then he gets out next over

 

[wpdavid]

That's so great. I have no idea how much more we'll see of Woakes, but removing Gill after all that's been said is quite something.

 

[King Kane]

Medium pace Woakes strikes to get Gill, good catch from Smith standing up to the stumps.

 

[silentstriker]

Whoa! India in a huge hole now, with pants ability being unclear and a long tail.

 

[SkyBlue]

We don't have a good lower middle order unlike England

I don't see India scoring more than 250 tbh and that's me being very generous

 

[wpdavid]

I was about to type something along the lines of how will Pant play it coming in at this stage of the day. Probably a silly question.

 

[King Kane]

Pant is still batting with a sore finger which was too sore to keep, courageous effort.

 

[cnerd123]

Humiliating for Woakes to need the keeper standing up to him, but I suppose Gill's wicket makes it worthwhile.

Solid catch too. Jamie Smith is legit.

Hope we get to 300. Need to induce a 3rd innings lollapse and then hopefully pull off a miracle 4th innings dig. Loads of weight on Lokesh's shoulders now.

Well India's tail wagged last time and England's collapsed.
