[NJamal]

2 more to Bell, he is in the 80's now

 

[Fawad2010]

stop the press, RP just hit 80mph

 

[Fireworks11]

Collingwood's pace.....

Even Trott when he's in the groove.

 

[Sledger]

is rp short for rupaul?

) )

 

[NJamal]

238/2

 

[Fireworks11]

Good dive by Ishant. Good to see.

 

[Sledger]

RP was a very good bowler in 07. Waste of talent.

 

[Fireworks11]

RP wasn't ready for this match, he was just thrown in it seems.

 

[Sledger]

No ball.

 

[NJamal]

No Ball

 

[Fireworks11]

No Ball by Mishra

 

[Fireworks11]

Solid block. Dot.

 

[Fireworks11]

Munaf should have played

 

[Fireworks11]

Beautiful scene in South London. Crowd enjoying it.

 

[NJamal]

240/2

 

[Sledger]

Very risky shot there. Two.

 

[Fireworks11]

KP walking across to RP lol

Good save by Sree

 

[Fireworks11]

Pitch is a batsman's dream.

 

[JibranAnsari]

another 200 today ? predictions?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pitch is a batsman's dream.

and so are the bowlers

 

[Sledger]

79 mph yorker attempt.

 

[Phool]

bowling by India

 

[NJamal]

242/2

 

[Sledger]

81mph!!! Wwwwwoooooww!!!!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

another 200 today ? predictions?

250 will be nice

 

[Sledger]

Is tea delayed or in 15mins?

 

[NJamal]

2 more to Bell

 

[JibranAnsari]

250 will be nice

nah , too much for the already hurt indian @rse.

 

[Fireworks11]

Freddie and Jamie having some red wine, wearing suits.

 

[Fireworks11]

England to declare on 400/6 tonight.

 

[Fireworks11]

Genuinely think Lancashire/Durham's bowling attack is more threatening than this Indian attack.

 

[Fireworks11]

KP is dictating proceedings. Walking across every ball.

 

[Sledger]

150 partnership.

 

[Fireworks11]

150 run partnership comes up

 

[Fireworks11]

2 runs.

 

[Sledger]

Bell nearing a hundred.

 

[mithun_minhas]

I am not going to give any credit to this England's performance... It is more of a reflection of India's pathetic effort in bowling.

How difficult it is to play RP and the line Mishra is bowling?

If ENgland serves the same stuff to Indian batters, sehwag will smash them to smithereens

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

2 more to Bell, 11 runs from a well deserved century

 

[Fireworks11]

I can't recall a more lethargic atmosphere in England in recent years.

 

[IgnitedMind]

So people are still watching this.

Its like watching repeats of same boring movie

 

[Sledger]

250 up for England.

 

[Fireworks11]

Was RP in the initial squad? How is he playing today?

 

[Fireworks11]

250 comes up.

 

[Fireworks11]

RP looks quite tired.

 

[NJamal]

250/2

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Why is RP selected ahead of Munaf, RP looks unfit and fat

 

[Munna]

i think we'll see another 700 declaration in england this summer

 

[mithun_minhas]

RP looks quite tired.

How can get tired of bowling spin?

Like I said, RP should just drop dead right now. He is making me want to see Robin Singh bowl

 

[Fireworks11]

VVS caught on camera....inserting gum in his mouth.

 

[Sledger]

Bell on 91*

 

[Fireworks11]

M_M - Lol, it's obvious RP isn't fit and didn't expect to be playing.

 

[Fireworks11]

Suraish Raina comes on to bowl his off breaks.

 

[Sledger]

Raina on.

 

[ShaunMarshRules]

So people are still watching this.

Its like watching repeats of same boring movie

Ind'a last match as number 1, mate. History.

 

[Fireworks11]

Seriously boring atmosphere. Quite sad to see.

 

[Sledger]

Sanjay saying even he can handle this attack lol.

 

[Munna]

dhoni has a thing for raina's bowling

 

[Fireworks11]

Down the wicket, single.

 

[Munna]

Seriously boring atmosphere. Quite sad to see.

and we're watching the no.1 & no.2 ranked test sides in the world having a contest

 

[Fireworks11]

Poor Sanjay sounds ever so depressed.

 

[Sledger]

94* now. Even Nasser sounds bored.

 

[NJamal]

255/2

 

[Watsupdoc]

This match is going to be a draw...

 

[Fireworks11]

Munna - Yeah, it just epitomises how crucial the need for a good bowling attack is. India exposed big time on this tour.

 

[Sledger]

New ball due. 257/2.

 

[Fireworks11]

Shane Warne is in the box, wish he was out there playing.

 

[Munna]

twitter:

Bell-Pietersen stands in Tests since June 2010 - 70, 116, 71, 110, 162, and 113 and going strong...

 

[NJamal]

257/2

 

[Fireworks11]

India's bowlers need to do something, start sledging, throw the cherry at the batsman, pretend to bump in to the batsman and to give a word or two.

 

[Fireworks11]

New ball not taken yet

 

[Sledger]

When is tea?

 

[ShaunMarshRules]

Nasser Hussain saying "India have been very good today. It's a flat pitch, strong batting line up, they've kept going very well. Can't fault them for effort".

I think he's having a bit of a mickey here.....Sanjay is disagreeing with him

 

[Fireworks11]

260/2. England in charge.

 

[ShaunMarshRules]

When is tea?

30 min.

 

[Sledger]

98*

 

[Munna]

i think even zaheer wouldn't have made too much of a big difference to this series with the rest of this indian attack

 

[mithun_minhas]

Ind'a last match as number 1, mate. History.

I feel like watching "My Name is Khan" over and over again till i am dead instead of watching Mishra and RP bowl

 

[Fireworks11]

262/2.

 

[Fireworks11]

No ball by Amit.

 

[NJamal]

No ball
