India are going to sneak it aren't they?

[Fred Crump]

It’s gett a bit worrying. They are batting really well and don’t really like giving any chances after Root’s early drop.

Morgan a massive let down again, Root scoring runs like it was a test match.

India played short and left the wicket almost undamaged for Kohli to have a birthday. They know they can outscore us.

I’m very nervous, two in batsmen and a lot of wickets left. We need wickets and some tight overs.

To go back to what Fred was posting earlier about ugly shots (and text book drives), the problem is that most teams have the same text book so they set fields to restrict the 'correct' shot. That's why odd shots that look really awkward have become so common, because that's how you find the gaps.

On the game itself, I think the wicket just has had a big impact because we've got rid of their big players now, a few 4-5 run overs and it'll put a huge amount of pressure on the 'lesser' guys and I can't see them getting the win.

It's not even close paul. What are you like watching the Villa?

[Risso]

Oh nice catch Woakes.

[PaulWinch again]

We need Pandya gone.

[LeeB]

We're in charge, but never underestimate our capacity to fuck it up from here.

[Risso]

The run rate's getting away from India.

[Risso]

Pandya gone.....I reckon that's it wrapped up.

[olaftab]

Good job India keep on selecting Dhoni for wrong reasons. The bloke was finished a while ago.

[Risso]

India are just nudging singles.

[Flamingo Lane]

India are just nudging singles.

Yes, and seem happy to be doing so.

As expected, India making sure they don't do Pakistan any favours.
