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

[trundler]

I think so.

He did stump Siraj

 

[wpdavid]

Pant playing for the draw again.

 

[kevinw]

Quick blast from Jof before the close?

 

[King Kane]

Pant looks in a bit of trouble with his finger, they should be bowling Jofra to really test it out.

 

[wpdavid]

Carse trying to ensure that there won't be time for him to bowl another over. Must be hard making sure that some of your front foot is behind a stationary white line.

 

[King Kane]

One last over from Bashir and even Pant is blocking him now.

Yeah missed play by Stokes

 

[Thala_0710]

102,180 runs and 312 FC centuries in one frame

 

[Shri]

lots of light available. just play on until bad light

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

75 overs on a day as hot and sunny as this. A few overs lost usually don't faze me but this was poor.

 

[King Kane]

They didn't get the full overs in today but that was still a great day of test cricket, I would walk away happy if I was there, give me quality over quantity.

Is that Barry Richards on the left? A real shame he didn't get to play more test cricket, he could have been one of the all time great test batsmen too.

 

[LangleyburyCCPlayer]

Honours relatively even, as an England fan I feel fairly confident with the runs on the board, even if India catch up (which they’re a long way from doing yet!), conventional wisdom (yeah, yeah, I know!) suggests you need a decent first innings lead if you’re batting in the 4th innings. Intriguing Test match!

 

[Stefan9]

Absolute joke to lose 15 overs in a day when there was no rain. Ridiculous. Umpires absolutely to blame for not getting tough on players wasting time.

 

[honestbharani]

Annoyingly even game at the moment, for me. Every time one side looks like getting ahead, the other throws a punch or two and brings them back to keel. I felt 380 was about par or maybe slightly above. Worried we are gonna collapse tomorrow.

Would you be ok with a football match ending at Min 75 or a rugby game at minute 60? That is what happened today.

I would not be happy at all. We should get quality and quantity.

Need atlest 100 from jaddu nitish and Washington. Hope for the best prepare for the worst

Dont worry unless pant plays magical innings no way we are crossing your total

 

[Burgey]

Game is shaping up nicely after a couple of days. Love a compelling mid-table clash.

Is this photoshopped? Hard to believe Boycott ever smiles.

 

[Johan]

Boycott smiles a bunch but it's mostly when he is nostalging or being sarcastic.
