India in a bit of trouble now, Pujara gone for 28 off 117 balls

4/113

Pujara just wasted time :P Dhoni out now too. :)

Why are they booing Jadeja?

fell asleep last night so only just seeing the scores now, little bit of a comeback from India

after being 7-145, they are now 9-290 at the end of day 1

SL vs RSA is on atm too. The selection panel at South Africa always stumps me. The selection of Imran Tahir. Duminy has bowled 14 overs, Tahir has bowled 14 overs. Elgar has bowled 2 overs. I suppose in Sri Lanka with turning decks the extra spinner could work, but apart from that, Duminy, Faf and Elgar are more than capable of bowling the spin. Get a seam allrounder in at 8, batting depth + a 4th seamer if needed.

And at Lords, England got that final wicket quickly (phew). India all out for 295. Let see if Cook can be useful this time.

I feel sorry for Cook, he's gonna get a steamroller + some more from the press tomorrow.

Interesting read, well it was for me anyway. :P Adam Lyth is due for a call up, cya later Cook, get this Yorkshire lad in the side with his mates.

This guy is a gun, doing better than Ballance was last year.

an 8th wicket partnership of 99 between Jadeja and Kumar has helped India get to 342. England need 319 runs to win. should be a good finish!

Bill Manspeaker · July 21, 2014, 12:46:01 AM

Jadeja gets Robson for 7. maybe a little unlucky to be given with 2 umpires calls

1/12

Jay · July 21, 2014, 12:58:52 AM

Steyn ends the match with figures of 9/99.

Not bad :o

Jay · July 21, 2014, 02:02:53 AM
