Shame Sachin didn't get a century, probably going on Monday so he can get it then :wub:

About Dravid, he's always been a great batsman, seemed to be fading a bit but that was a great innings.

Yeah. Looked like Dravid was on decline then he picked up very well. He is consistent as ever. Well not as consistent as decade back
 
I think England should set India about 500 runs for Tuesday and hope to bowl them out while India will be hoping to get some wickets tonight and then restrict England to about 200 and then chase 375ish

Meanwhile todays play was actually great to watch this morning I expected England to get smashed by Tendulkar and co but we ended up putting India on the back foot which can only be good!

500? A bit to cautious but we all know the history of Strauss. Bat to lunch tomorrow then evaluate things and if we have wickets in hand then take it to their attack, maybe put them in around tea. Wouldn't fancy India chasing 350+ on a 5th day Lords wicket. If they get it then you have to say well done. If you want to be the best in the world you have to take risks.

I'd hope we have a bigger lead than 350 by tea. Aggressive batting is needed tomorrow, see of the new ball and hope Trott doesn't stay around too long ;)
 
Balls.

Bell, Pietersen, Strauss and Cookie all gone. So much for making India chase 450 on the final day - they'll be batting before lunch if they keep on like this..

With Sehwag I would have fancied that, without him I won even fancy us chasing 250 on final day..

One more gone. Sharma with peach of a delivery.. He has been amazing this year. Dropping him has done world of good.
 
This is a bonkers match. Brilliant knock from Prior earlier though, excellent rearguard. Gambhir's elbow isn't broken, luckily, just bruised.

Woooo!
 
:( Could have done lot better. Didn't expect much thoguh playing just one practise match after playing in Windies. Should improve ASAP and if Zaheer misses any of the test matches then we are ******..

Well done and congrats England..
 
Hoorah!

Well done Broad, Anderson and KP. All superb...

Swann did a great job in keeping the run-count down too.
 
sreesanth bowling well just thought he c+b bell but it bounced about a foot in front of him lol!
