Exactly. I heard they had a thoroughly smashing time celebrating the last win. But they did it in a civilised manner. I could take any of them home with me and mumsy would ruddy love them.

Squall ruins prompt start - umpires unhappy with standing water on the square.
Inspection 10:45.
Toss delayed.

The way Shastri's going on, you'd think England was an in form side....

England win the toss - game over for India.

by LeFromage Fri 15 Aug 2014, 11:04

England, unchanged, win the toss and the match.

India put in to bat, a/o half an hour after lunch.

by LeFromage Fri 15 Aug 2014, 11:06

Binnyman and Shartma back in for Jadeja and Pancake.

by LeFromage Fri 15 Aug 2014, 11:11

England unchanged because "all the guys have done well".

(series averages)

Robson: 128 runs @ 21
Woakes: 1 wicket @ 163
Jordan: 3 wickets @ 57

But, no, they've all done well. Good on them.

Good times. Who in their right minds would've expected Gambhir to fail?

by Brass Monkey Fri 15 Aug 2014, 11:42

Dear oh dear. The man is a lemon.

He might be more of a qunt than all the others put together.

boom boom, 2 down

by taipan Fri 15 Aug 2014, 12:07

And now Broad gets his average below 30

by tricycle Fri 15 Aug 2014, 12:37

Jordan below 50 with that. God this is shit.

by spangler Fri 15 Aug 2014, 12:40

Stretching the match out to 3 days is a moral victory

Beat me to it.

Really cheaping test cricket.

by tricycle Fri 15 Aug 2014, 12:48

This really is embarrassing. If only we had as much fight as the Zimbos

by lardbucket Fri 15 Aug 2014, 12:49

Kohli's average drops below 40.

by skully Fri 15 Aug 2014, 12:50

Hmm, this has all the makings of another 3 day Test. Good bowling by England in helpful conditions. The length has been good.

Innit. Can't believe it TBH.

by taipan Fri 15 Aug 2014, 13:03

And now Woakes goes below 100

by Merlin Fri 15 Aug 2014, 13:04

Bloody hell.
36 - 5 .... and there's still half an hour to go before lunch on day 1 !!

by Red Fri 15 Aug 2014, 13:05

Seems like any Englishman who rocks up and bowls to India if there is a remote bit of movement will find himself in the wickets column.
