well when i when to sleep last night cook was on 91 i think i just thought he was just going to cruise to a hundred.. how wrong was i lol. Gary Ballance continues his good form with another good hundred. England are 247/2 at stumps on day one Ian Bell and Gary Ballance are at the crease on 16* and 104* respectively

i hope to see pujara make a heap of runs today
Didnt work out that way. India made some good starts, but havent capitalised on them so far. Maybe MS can do that tomorrow.
Bob, whats with the strange bowling rotation that Dhoni used? I've never seen 3 bowlers used in rotation before, constantly changing the end that they were bowling from. Any ideas?
hmm what ever he was trying to do it didnt really work.. poor guys couldnt get there lines and lengths right in one over spells... maybe this is something we will see in the years to come? O>O idk at least he was trying stuff though! Lol. indians are getting in and getting out atm soon they will go big... i hope lol
MSD has made 10 fifties with no hundreds against england.. is tomorrow gonna be his day? i hope it is
do you think your bowlers can go again if they knock these last 2 wickets off in the morning?
or do you think you will bat for a session or 2 giving them some rest.
england lead is what 246 at stumps hmm.. if india were to bat through the first session tomorrow im going to guess that the lead will be like 150. even if england bowl them out just before lunch its going to be hard work
they are going to need to score fast to get a big enough lead AND to have enough time to bowl them out.. this is a pretty interesting situation tbh. that would be ideal for india
for england what they would want to do is knock them off in 5 or 10 overs with a 220 run lead when they come out to bat. push that up to 280-300 or so before lunch just cruising along then come out after lunch and maybe push that score up to what ever with the few power hitters they have like jos buttler ;p get that lead up to 400 or so then send them in with 4 sessions to go
