If the BCCI are boiling, Ravi must be boiling.

[Fireworks11]

BBC Test Match Special's Michael Vaughan

"No-one is going to get hurt out there - Alastair Cook is 284 not out. This is a part of the game that the ICC has to look at."

LOL...

 

[Fawad2010]

How the hell did this bowling get ENG all out in the second Test!

 

[nish_mate]

All right i am signing off....


To all the baiters and haters "I will be back"

 

[duostyle]

Bad light stops the phainty for today.

How the hell did this bowling get ENG all out in the second Test!

The batsmen threw their wickets away, to hit out.

683/6

alastair cook 284 not out, ownage

 

[srh]

I dont understand england's logic. Looks like Cook scoring 300 is more important than england winning this match.

 

[duostyle]

They're back. )

 

[Sledger]

Four first ball back. Normal service resumes.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

i think they want this phainty too simmer overnight ...thats how you make proper goosth

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

sharma on 149*

 

[Fireworks11]

Bresnan will want a Hundred here.

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

if India bat today, Dravid will have to open the inning instead of sehwag

 

[osee_bhai]

I dont understand england's logic. Looks like Cook scoring 300 is more important than england winning this match.

they still have 2 days..day 2 and 3 pitch is the flattest as well, swann will get more help as time progresses.

 

[Sledger]

150 for Sharma too! What an attack.

Best in test history?

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

150 for sharma

take a bow, apparently he is a top 10 bowler

 

[Fireworks11]

Hope England bat tomorrow morning.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

if India bat today, Dravid will have to open the inning instead of sehwag

lol that will be salt to the wounds

 

[W63L35]

What the heck is this idiot doing....

Current partnership 76 runs, 18.5 overs, RR: 4.03 (Bresnan 44, Cook 32)

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

689/6

 

[W63L35]

Hope England bat tomorrow morning.

No. I want... more time to get India out!

 

[Sledger]

233 runs conceded today.

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Bresnan needs to go all out against the bowlers

 

[Sledger]

Four to Cook. 288*..

 

[Fireworks11]

Has Cook got it in him to ever change gears?

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

288*

 

[Ruri]

Cook matches India's highest score of the series.

 

[Fawad2010]

yeah Cook!

Closer to his 300

 

[Sledger]

Sreesanth getting some swing out there. Horrible line though.

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Cook trying to compensate for his four failures

into 290s

 

[Fawad2010]

Cook matches India's highest score of the series.

)

BCCI should think about importing him

 

[Fireworks11]

No. I want... Indian more time to get India out!

5 sessions is more than enough for England with such a massive lead and a fresh bowling attack raring to go.

 

[Blitz]

Cook seems to be powering up.

291*

 

[ninjafirstslip]

cooks batting average above 50 now...to think he could only take on bangladesh two years ago.

 

[Sledger]

Highest score at Edgbaston.

 

[Blitz]

Cook seems to be powering up.

291*

 

[W63L35]

5 sessions is more than enough for England with such a massive lead and a fresh bowling attack raring to go.

Still do not want to take any chances..... I needed SEVEN session .... !

 

[ninjafirstslip]

lol i think they are letting him get to 300 totally deafeted

 

[mithun_minhas]

The fact that Dhon i was able to blast Broad, Bresnan and ANderson in his innings just shows that it is easy to bat on this surface...

Just that Indian batters were scared and gifted their wickets.

 

[W63L35]

Sare Jahan sey acha ....... yeh hidustaaan tumhara.
Tum bulbulain ho uss ki aur yeh gulistaan tumhara!

Oye..... bulbulan kithay turr gaiyaan????

[W63L35]

Oh maan. I hope Cook gets his 300 soon... and the declaration comes... because I'd love to see India bat in last 10-12 overs today! )

 

[Sledger]

Wide.. it just gets better and better.

 

[iHammad]

[Sledger]

Oh maan. I hope Cook gets his 300 soon... and the declaration comes... because I'd love to see India bat in last 10-12 overs today! )

Anderson inswing sending Sehwags stumps flying. )

 

[JibranAnsari]

"Did you guys hear about the mouth watering contest that was supposed to happen this summer between 2 equally matched teams going for the top test spot? There was a lot of hype. I don't remember the countries though - Bangladesh Zimbabwe? cricinfo

 

[iHammad]

did ishant sharma just bowl a yorker?

 

[ninjafirstslip]

indian mental disintergration just look at ghambir )

 

[Sledger]

83mph yorker attempt. Bresnan has all the time in the world to dig it out.

 

[Sledger]

Out of the park for six. 50 to Bresnan.

 

[Hasnain_786]

700 up!!!

700 up )

 

[Ruri]

That ball was murdered!

 

[Sledger]

700 up too.

 

[duostyle]

Whacked. 700

 

[ninjafirstslip]

bresnan you idiot they want cook 300 not your blistering 50

 

[W63L35]

All Bulbuls are hiding in tress

Brave ones still here .... chickens fled!

 

[Warfare]

Bresnan killed that ball.

 

[Sledger]

Praveen Thompson is back!!!

 

[srh]

would england go for a 500 lead?

 

[Sledger]

Cook 8 runs away.

 

[Sledger]

Hit away for one. 7 to go.

 

[Warfare]

Struck powerfully for one.

 

[JibranAnsari]

I would love to bat against this bowling for hours and hours and hours....

 

[IgnitedMind]

Cook should go for 400 and play till 2marrow's tea!!

 

[ninjafirstslip]

just look at ishants face after that 6....like a toddler getting a circumcision

 

[Ruri]

would england go for a 500 lead?

They'll get it before Cook gets his 300 in singles.

 

[Sledger]

707/6. Looks like Bresnan will keep Tremlett out of the side!

 

[Fireworks11]

Still do not want to take any chances..... I needed SEVEN session .... !

Lol...don't worry, we have...

 

[W63L35]

Cook should go for 400 and play till 2marrow's tea!!

First test ... 200...... 3rd test... 300.... let's save 400 for the last test! Can we?

 

[Sledger]

74mph bouncer from Praveen Thompson. Brute of a ball almost taking Cook's head clean off.

 

[srh]

They'll get it before Cook gets his 300 in singles.

looks like.

 

[Fireworks11]

Bresnan is a proper all-rounder or so it seems by the ease of his batting.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

^ new smilies!!!

 

[Sledger]

2 more to Bresnan. Cook showing extremely good fitness.

 

[Warfare]

Bresnan is a proper all-rounder or so it seems by the ease of his batting.

Nah it's just Indian bowling.

 

[Mohsin]

Imagine if this was the 'unlimited test'....cook would easily break Lara's record, England would easily break the highest team score record (held by SL??) and the ECB would have to reschedule the ODI series with india rescheduling their flights
