šŸ :engerland: England (and :walesisntit: Wales) Cricket 2025

Getting tired ain’t they…but wait

Stokes to Bumrah, OUT

A what-have-you-done pull from Bumrah. He has gone after only short balls and this time, it’s cost him. Stokes’ walk towards mid-on is quiet but intense. Bumrah drops his head down and yells in frustration as he walks back. Short ball well wide of off, rose around waist-height, Bumrah went across and looked to drag it across with the pull. Top edges straight to mid-on

Jasprit Bumrah c sub (SJ Cook) b Stokes 5 (54b 1x4 0x6) SR: 9.25

India now 149-9

Tense this :-

Tea :india: 163-9, require 30 runs, :engerland: require 1 wicket

Not convinced we can win with you watching.

Hmmmm

Siraj really, really unlucky but them’s the breaks

Bashir to Siraj, OUT

bowled off an under-edge! Bashir, with a broken finger, has broken India’s resistance! He gave it some air once more, up above the eyeline, dipping on the batter as he played back but couldn’t account for the overspin. The ball trickled down the face of the bat, into the crease, and inexorably back on the leg stump, where a sonic ā€˜plonk’ confirmed the game was done. Incredible contest, amazing ending!

Mohammed Siraj b Shoaib Bashir 4 (30b 0x4 0x6) SR: 13.33

:engerland: win by 22 runs

Unbelievable ending, a confident forward defensive prod spins back and dislodges a single bail.

How many byes did India concede when we batted?

I tuned in exactly in time to hear the screams

Remarkable

What a fabulous test match that was, probably deserved a better ending than that. But fair play to both sides, five days of gripping cricket showing why this form of the game, played at this level is the greatest of sports IMO.

A tie (not a draw) wouldn’t have been a bad result for either side to be fair…

Meanwhile. This absurd decision to play day/night games with a pink ball continue to last barely 2 days.

Australia 225 + 121. W. Indies 143 and 12/6. Starc 5/6 in 4 overs.

Fucking joke.

W.I. 27ao. Starc 6/9. Boland got a hat trick and they managed a single otherwise they then would have equalled the lowest ever test score. NZ v England in 1955.

Do you think he’ll actually do anything other than be a sub??

Yep he will miss our County home game v Notts
