England vs India | 3rd Test | Edgbaston | Aug 10-14 | Day 3

this game is becoming rather boring now...declare already

I don't like this captaincy, it's silly. Cook'll get another chance at the 300. England should have a bowl today, and if they wait till cook gets the 300, they won't have time/have very little time.

You don't get many chances to reach 300. 200 yes but 300 very difficult. After batting since the beginning, declaring 30 runs short of his 300 would be extremely harsh. Declaration to come after Cook gets to 300 and remains not out.

this game is becoming rather boring now...declare already

Cook is not getting much strike and when he does, he is taking a single to give the strike back to Butternan

 

[Sledger]

England have enough to win by an innings.

 

[W63L35]

Last two overs... Bresnan takes a single off the last ball from the over... and plays the whole over out. So much for cook's 300 today!

 

[W63L35]

Bresnan wants to score the 100 that he missed in TB;



48 runs, 14.2 overs, RR: 3.34 (Bresnan 30, Cook 18)

 

[ninjafirstslip]

Last two overs... Bresnan takes a single off the last ball from the over... and plays the whole over out. So much for cook's 300 today!

bresnan looks like he lives in his own world and got lost in it
