A superb day’s Test cricket, fabulous entertainment. It’s a long time since I’ve seen an England cricket team play with such a positive mindset and self belief, McCullum has certainly had an impact. Just 120 to win tomorrow with 7 wickets in hand, what a great result that would be.
FFS
I had stuff to do tomorrow
282-3
Less than 100 runs needed now, India had the ball changed and it’s done less since then…
Cloudy
Lights on
1st 2 balls did strange things
Ball swinging
So India change it.
Next 2 balls hammered for 4s
India getting the ball changed again!! The one they changed to, 5 overs ago??, isn’t swinging…
Surely they’ve got to do something about this…
200 run partnership off of 249 balls
Root 98*
Bairstow 92*
309-3
Roooooooootttttttttttttttttt
28th Hundred in 121 tests
314-3
Root 103*
Bairstow 92*
Dear God Pieterson is awful
When you call him this you are just pandering to his ego
If Root carries on like this Bairstow isn’t going to get a ton
22 runs required, Root dealing in boundaries and 2s
This win should be dedicated to Virat Kohli.
Bairstow 12th Hundred in 87 tests, 4th in 5 innings and 2nd in this test.
357-3
Just been looking at the figures, it really could be possible but I don’t want to tempt fate but Root could catch Tendulkar.
and a 250 run partnership, Bairstow in full flow now as well…
Only 5,500 to go, don’t think he’ll do it this summer
It won’t work all the time in fact doing it 4/4 is unbelievable but its exciting and it will reinvigorate the best format of the game.
England win by 7 wickets
England tie the series 2-2
Absolutely fvcking bonkers brilliant
