Turning already for the spinners. Batsmen need to meet the pitch or just after, could be dangerous waiting for the ball to come onto the bat.

More I reckon PB. I think we need 300. Even with it turning a bit.

300 would be a very good score on this pitch, it would of course put India under pressure which they haven't had as such whilst chasing. Thank fuck Vince isn't playing, Root would already be in by now. 

[Jairzinho]

Surprised they didn't review that. Couldn't hear much but I thought the ball deviated sufficiently to see it hit something. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Missed opportunity, deffo nicked the glove. Roy then goes on to hit a 6 followed by a 4. 

[Jairzinho]

Good start this

Loving that India kit.

Smart, in it. Tempted to order one once the WC is over and the prices drop. Thinking about it I have relations in India, probably get one for a few notes, plus about 40 notes for fucking postage.

Stop trying to Jinx us J.....long way to go and even if we win this we'll have to beat NZ at Durham, Chester Lee Street. 

[lifetime fan]

Has he got hold of it? 

 

It landed in the second fucking tier!

Seems an odd decision to bring in Plunkett for Ali on a strip that might spin. Better batter as well ( allegedly ).

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Roy..........

0/124 after 17.  

Hardly call it a jinx, mate.

Have you seen our middle order mate? Going great guns so far mind, so Morgan, Stokes and Buttler will be under less score pressure.

This is exceptional

Yes, mate, the same middle order problems as Australia apparently.

 

You're half-way to 300 in under 20 overs.  

 

Let's not worry too much about the middle-orders when the openers are doing this.

I'm airing on the side of caution mate.

Just had a look at the Indian strip on Amazon India, works out at about 12€

Bargain that.

Seriously thinking of getting one depending on how much the postage would be. Obviously can't use Amazon India so would need to get family to get it and send it on. Might have a look about for other sources. 

[lifetime fan]

Hell of a catch. 

[s(k)aturation]

 

What a catch.

 

What a game.

 

 

[Jairzinho]

Phenomenal.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

My stream is obviously behind.
