:Cricket_bat_and_ball: 4th Test :engerland: England (and Wales) v India šŸ‡®šŸ‡³ - Ageas Bowl

My fault, sorry, I shall stay away from the cricket nowā€¦

Bairstow has had a cracking game then

Oh come on, RUN OUTS? Seriously? In this situation??

Sharma to Stokes, OUT , tapped to the leg side, Stokes calls him throughā€¦ and thereā€™s a direct hit at the strikerā€™s end! Has Root been run out here?! He doesnā€™t look happy, but he waits for the third umpire, who confirms the dismissal! Thatā€™s a shoddy way to go, though well played Mohammed Shami, who was quick to move from mid-on and fired in a direct hit! Englandā€™s captain stalks from the field, and India have dragged the game back their way once again

JE Root run out (Mohammed Shami) 48 (88b 6x4 0x6) SR: 54.54

Nurdled along to reach 152-5 at tea.
Need to nurdle another hundred out of this innings somehow. Shami & Bumrah getting the ball to spit all over the place.

Ashwin to Stokes, OUT , taken at slip and Ashwin bursts into a smile!

BA Stokes c Rahane b Ashwin 30 (110b 2x4 0x6) SR: 27.27
178-6
He looks a relieved man as he wheels away in celebration, having lobbed a well flighted delivery onto Stokesā€™ off stump and drawing the left-handerā€™s outside edge. Rahane does very well to get it to stick in his hands, moving to his left

Can anyone think of a time when our middle order is far more assured and has far far more depth than our top 4?

Rashid out penultimate ball of the day. Buttler battled for 69
260/8
Squeeze another 30 runs tomorrow could be exciting but need Jimmy to find his mojo

Day 4

England all out for 271

India require 245 to win and have nearly 2 days to get them.

India 17-2.

Rapidly drops everything & finds dodgy streamā€¦

Kohli survives an LBW review. Shame.

Not much luck with the reviews at the moment

Cracking game this. I got massively sunburned yesterday.

46-3 at lunch.

Seems the only person who thought it was ball on bat was the third umpire, everyone else thinks it was bat on pad.

Weā€™re doomed.
Shine has gone off the new ball
Batsmen are settled
Umpires & fates are against us.
Meanwhile some distraction at the golf. Can Fitzpatrick make it into the RC team.

Yes Iā€™m bored - Eric is on his way for a beer & pig fest so canā€™t sit down and do any one thing ffs

Kohli has gone caught Cook bowled Moeen for 58

Hardik gone for nowt, but Pantā€™s to come in.

Quick flash from Pant there.
