4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

This is considered to be the 'boring' part of test match cricket. But, I am entertained. Love the battle.

Looks a lot flatter out there now with an old ball. Not much purchase for Dawson, isn't going up and down as much for the seamers, gonna be hard work this for England. Feels like it's got draw written all over it at the minute

Loooong way to go mind you, and in all likelihood, when the third goes down, India are into the all-rounders

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Hehe yes. Last 30 balls only yielded 2 runs

Someone better tell this lot that Michael van Gerwen got knocked out in the second round lol

Excellent, probing deliveries from Woakes. Love how he maintains his rhythm and keeps it simple, even if he hasn't taken many wickets.

I used to bowl like that on EA Cricket 07

What's the latest weather status for tomorrow? I saw earlier that light rain was on the cards, but not sure if it's going to be much of a show stopper.

Ian Ward on commentary said that there's going to be rain...but overall conditions are leaning toward damp

 

[SkyBlue]

15 or 16, about Ponting level, below Sutcliffe/Gavaskar level

Then we agree. He still needs to conquer that final 'hurdle' though. He's in the form of his life. Won't get a better chance to prove his doubters wrong in the upcoming Ashes.

Man if Stokes doesn't bowl, that alone is a big W for India at this point.

He was holding his hamstring from time to time.

Good partnership

Whats happened to the pitch, did the heavy roller iron it flat again?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Keep attacking those stumps, Jofra

 

[jaydesh]

Archer's pace is down at the moment. Think it should be just a 5-6 over spell max

It's just some good batting with a bit of luck.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Top shot Lokesh!

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That looks like a wide?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

India 112-2
