England v India | 1st Investec Test | July 9-13, 2014 | Nottingham

[mithun_minhas]

Moin Ali providing a lot of relief to Indian tail.

 

[samplepiece]

Moeen Ali has bowled about a tenth of the overs and gone for about a quarter of the runs scored.

 

[Justcrazy]

These two have added valuable runs here.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Come on Moeen. You can score a century.

 

[imback]

if our last wicket can score 63 without much trouble, then so can the oppn

 

[Justcrazy]

This will be a dull draw , unless Indian bowlers get something special here.

 

[samplepiece]

^^ So the English would hope but strange things happen in test cricket when a side has been in the field for 5 sessions.

 

[leatherface58]

Pace seemed to have gone down for English pacers.

 

[biggestdravidfan]

BK > Junaid with the bat. If Misbah had BK with him, Pakistan would have beaten Zimbabwe in that test match.

 

[Justcrazy]

Poms should play Finn , Tremlet and Onions , they would be more effective.

 

[Gone]

Always, believe, no point in thinking negatively.

For india

 

[Varun]

The England bowling remind me of our bowling lol.

 

[leatherface58]

Ball is staying so low.

 

[Gone]

Run rate gone up a tiny bit

 

[Gone]

Ball is staying so low.

Something england won't be too happy about.

 

[Justcrazy]

A draw would be good for India , they would be pleased to deny poms a win in Trent Bridge.

 

[Sandeep]

You were saying?

My bad.. very uncharacteristic from Indian tail.. You would agree

 

[Gone]

Solid Batting, they look like top order batting now.

 

[Justcrazy]

Partnership 71 runs already.

 

[Sandeep]

Need to play for another 15 overs.. Make 'em bowl and bowl and bowl

 

[Gone]

POMs bowling attack has been over worked:

35 overs for jimmy
29 for Broad
32 for Plunkett and Stokes.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Broad seems to England's last throw of dice to get a wicket. Lets see what he can do.

 

[saiyan0312]

Great batting by india especially the tail but nightmarish bowling by england. Terrible attack. looks like there are no clouds in england today.

 

[Sandeep]

Rock-like defence from Bhuvi!

 

[mithun_minhas]

Solid defense so far from BK.

 

[Gone]

Good effort from Broad...

 

[Justcrazy]

English bowlers have given up . They waiting for mistake by batsmen.

 

[Gone]

English bowlers have given up . They waiting for mistake by batsmen.

They are tired as well.

 

[cricket geek]

what would be Anderson and Broad thinking right now.

 

[samplepiece]

Poor Cook, must have started thinking about his batting 90 mins back.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Why don't fielders stand a bit close when there is no bounce in the pitch?

 

[samplepiece]

Plunkett still bowling in the high 80s in his 34th over.

 

[Sandeep]

Finn may be recalled after this test.. All England bowlers look tired

 

[samplepiece]

The last thing England needs is for Broad to break down here.

 

[loves_cricket]

What will our bowlers give?

 

[mithun_minhas]

Come on Shami. Don't throw it away.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Broad is bowling slower than Stuart Binny now

May be he should be called Stuart Bronny.

 

[leatherface58]

Shami is quickly making the leg glance with one leg up his own shot.

 

[mithun_minhas]

84 run partnership.

 

[samplepiece]

BK averaging a neat 28.

 

[desi_launda]

That was out but pathetic appeal

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

That was out BUT only Cook appealed

[samplepiece]

New ball due in 9 overs.

 

[mithun_minhas]

(No)DRS saves India. :BCCI

 

[Varun]

Haha, pathetic appeal by England.

 

[Smbhayi]

lol they are really tired.. Even cant open their mouth..

 

[leatherface58]

) ) Tea.

 

[mithun_minhas]

ROFLMAO!!!! Tea and India still batting.

 

[cricket geek]

who would have thought India can bat till tea after that collapse.

 

[Batman_DB]

this is what was missing all these days tai lenders can frustrate the opens and pull them india was in the receiving end all these test now they did something very good

 

[mithun_minhas]

MSD will be very happy that this Test will end up as draw unless there is a mighty choke from one of the teams.

 

[mithun_minhas]

I am sure Shami and BK will swing their bat wildly from here on. It is very unnatural especially for a guy like Shami to show this much patience.

 

[leatherface58]

England waiting for 2nd new ball.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Hopefully these 2 get to half centuries before India is bowled out.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Screw job

 

[leatherface58]

BK 50 [emoji144]

 

[leatherface58]

Now Shami 50 )

 

[Adil_94]

Well done Shami and Kumar magnificent

[cricket geek]

Bhuvi completed his half century

 

[Gone]

What a 50, 2 50s in 2 balls, hats off boys.

I think they will go for it now

 

[mithun_minhas]

LOLOLOL

Well Play Tail.

 

[cricket geek]

:6 by Shami and he also completed his half century .

 

[mithun_minhas]

The only bad part is that these 2 Indian batsmen are our main bowlers and they will be tired too when they come to bowl.

But Ishant will be super fresh to give away 100 runs in 15 overs.

 

[Sandeep]

What the hell's going on? )

 

[cricket geek]

450 up for India

 

[Gabbar Singh]

This is normally the kind of stuff that happens against India not for India. Well done to these 2.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Time to sledge these 2 tailenders and disrupt their concentration

 

[jeetu]

Are we going to open bowling with Binny and Ishant. Scary thought.

 

[Cricketrenew]

Moeen not being given a chance by cook to settle into any rhythm, really only been used for 1 or two over spells in desperation.
I wonder if the seem bowlers will be able to stand up, imagine if they have to come in as night watchmen!!!

not cook's fault,he was smashed

 

[desi_launda]

: India 457 all out well played lads!

 

[Gone]

Well played boys.

The torture is over for England.

 

[leatherface58]

Way too much for Cook's liking. India would have taken this score without the collapse.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Well played BK and Shami.

Moeen is the real deal. Gets the biggest breakthrough of the match I guess

 

[cricket geek]

India all out on 457

 

[Jabo]

Lets see what Cook does now...

 

[Gone]

Now this is the biggest innings, what happens now will decide the game.

Cmon India, lets do this with the ball now!

 

[Sandeep]

18 odd overs for England. I expect them to finish the day at probably 60/70 for none..

 

[Sandeep]

Don't be surprised if Dhoni starts with Jadeja
