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

if India had atleast attempted to approach the target at a slightly more brisk pace they might even be closing in on a lead by now. Which might be handy to force another innings

Hope sundar plays normally instead of blocking like a bore

 

[mackembhoy]

So can Pant not come in till number 11 then?

Or is it just nee point getting a guy in who can't really rotate strike?

 

[SkyBlue]

Stokes bowling at 140k's with a stiff shoulder and a bad hamstring

Shame on our bowlers

 

[LangleyburyCCPlayer]

Pitch doing more, or was that wicket solely the Stokes Factor?

What do you do if you’re Pant, because runs are important albeit not exactly the biggest priority

That is batting normally for sundar

 

[King Kane]

No need to review that one, the great Kiwi all rounder strikes again, that was plumb.

India's chance of saving this game has dropped significantly with Rahul back in the shed.

He's a pretty nice strokeplayer when he has someone who can bat at the other end. Goes into his shell massively when batting with the tail for whatever reason.

Apparently he's there in a moonboot this morning. So maybe can't bat at all.

But him flaying a few before the new ball if he was able to waddle out like the other day probs the best use he could have in this innings.

 

[SkyBlue]

Nasty from Stokes

they were 0/2 wtf

nasty ball by Stokes. Looks ridiculously hard to bat atm. He's bowling superbly.

 

[slowfinger]

come on Gill that thumb looks battered mate, I don't think you can bat on

 

[Thala_0710]

That thumb needs attention by the physio after every ball imo

 

[Molehill]

Looks like this will be Stokes last over, and he shouldn’t bowl again. Too risky.

Stokes needs to stop bowling. Running himself to the ground. Might miss the trip down under at this rate.

 

[Ju7]

Eng warned for taking too long between deliveries.

I'd be surprised if he stops until the new ball arrives.

 

[Molehill]

You’re probably right, but he’s holding himself after every delivery. Someone should have a word.

Carse probably fancies a go on this pitch before the new ball arrives.
