Once again, Dhoni the savior. Atleast helped them reaching 3 figure score.

The glass is half full. Ajinkya Rahane getting caught and bowled repeatedly is a good sign. Shows he has a straight bat.

Nice effort by Dhoni :k: Start date of test match for both teams (Pakistan and India) were their National Day. lets see the result.

Re: England v India - 5th Test Oval

And with that, the bowling got infinitely better. From 60/0 to 103/1 - the improvement can't even be quantified. There is an extra spring in the step. An air of confidence not seen lately.

Football practice will occur as scheduled. While the captain continues his shooting range appointments.

Re: England v India - 5th Test Oval

Cook was plumb LBW yesterday it seems off Bhuvi.

Is there a rule that ALL decisions be given against india just to prove a point re DRS?

In a game of inches, such momentum swings can be decisive.

I believe india will score 550 in the 2nd inning and eke out a victory.

Re: England v India - 5th Test Oval

And Misbah will rescue Pakistan by chasing down 400 in the 4th Innings by scoring 250 in just 50 balls not out

Re: England v India - 5th Test Oval

Muddasir Ahmed: “Surprised to see that no indian bowler in the history of test cricket has equal or lower bowling average of 25. ( Minimum of 2000 balls bowled).”

Re: England v India - 5th Test Oval

India's batting has been a huge let down in this series

16

Re: England v India - 5th Test Oval

I was not expecting this type of performance from the strong Indian batting line up.

Re: England v India - 5th Test Oval

Root Ton and Broad 35 from 15 balls, Fastest Test Fifty is on 24 balls

Re: England v India - 5th Test Oval

Pakistan and Indian batting line on same track but Pakistani 3 bowlers have done well

Current partnership **61 runs, 5.5 overs, RR: 10.45 (Broad 35, Root 25)
[RIGHT]Last 10 ovs 86/1 RR **8.60[/RIGHT]
Last 20 overs, 152 runs. A half-decent T20 total.

Eng 463/9 some clouds are around

England lead by 315 runs

Sharma to Broad, OUT, the short ball has worked, in a sense...Broad gloves a bouncer into the slip cordon. Barely an appeal, really. The replays show Broad's glove was off the bat when the ball hit it. Not the first of those we've seen this season. A lively innings from Broad, no hanging around
SCJ Broad c Kohli b Sharma 37 (21b 5x4 1x6) SR: 176.19

Re: England v India - 5th Test Oval

I thought he is going to punch Sharma.
