Cricket

Fuck sticks there Sat & Sun :(

Get a new forecast, looks fine for Saturday now (there with wife and daughter).

Rejoice! Pope confirmed to debut and bat at 4 as expected, lovely stuff.

Well, today is a bit shit

:(

This will cheer you up

I'm actually not too upset - I'm hoping it goes to day 5 and I can head out and watch it ;)

Single ticket for Lords on Sunday- anyone interested?

Edit- Arranged collection with @not4sale tomorrow.

I am - will pm

Yorkshire absolutely thundering along in the blast.

Why on Earth would you elect to bowl first at Lords

Kohli said he would have too - maybe a bit of gamesmanship? Strange either way.

Can only think they're betting on the weather (mixed today, great Saturday, mixed/poor Sunday).

Today: Bowl india out in the ~60 overs (which is all we'll expect to get today) as it hoops around corners
Sat: England bat in glorious sunshine for 100 overs
Sun: England tail skittled out in more hoopy conditions, bowl India out for another low total.

Win by an innings or just have to mop up ~50 runs in the 4th innings.

#delusion

Even weather aside, chasing on that pitch is just a 'mare. Unless they really think we're only gonna have to bat once...

JAFFA

We are not worthy

GB, I think 60 overs is optimistic at this rate...

Jimmy tho.

That run out, ahahahahaha

Jimmy tying up Kohli is something else

What a day!

Well done Broad giving away a few runs in the penultimate over to ensure the England openers didn't have to face any balls tonight.
Dry pitch/sunny sky tomorrow. England to score quickly need 300+ by close of play on Saturday.

Jimmy Anderson -
"I think if we were bowling at our batsmen, we'd have the better of them too."

Chris Woakes and Lords, a lovely combination

Why did India play two spinners on this deck?

England need to have them a couple of wickets down by the end of today looking at the forecast.

Off to Trent Bridge next Sunday. Can’t wait.
