Kohli I still there on 34 from 52 balls.....he’s the key I think.

I think wickets are going to be the key. Wickets and runs.

Well I've done all I can.

£5 on India at 2/5.

It's up to you now England. The betting Gods are with you make sure you pitch the ball up and attack.

Don't go down half cock.

Two very evenly matched sides, and one superstar who is the difference.

I agree. He's been brilliant. He strikes the ball so cleanly. And simply looks so comfortable while he's batting, no matter what is happening around him. Exciting, talented and great to watch.

And the fact he bowls left handed and swings it in is such a bonus as well.

England take the last wicket at 12-20pm, a diving catch by Malan, and win by 1 run, switch over and watch Charlton win 2-0, a perfect day

You pressed on regardless of my 'in before' then

Love listening to Sangakkara (sp?) speak about the game. In his second language it's outrageous.

Leuth

Pretty sure he was raised speaking both English and Sinhalese

Leuth

But yeah, he is amazingly erudite

Addickted2TheReds

Ah, wasn't aware of that. In any case, @cantersaddick is thick as fuck - so there's that... :-)

Addickted2TheReds

Get in!!!!!!!

Lincsaddick

Malan .. nearly all is forgiven

Addickted2U

Come back David Malan. All is forgiven!

Covered End

112-6

Addickted2TheReds

Was in the middle of typing that it is frustrating that Karthik had got the memo from Kohli about standing outside his crease with regards to LBW. But if he snicks off then then that's all good! :-)

Addickted2TheReds

Malan should still not be in this side by the way. Showed some bollocks in the ashes but he's shite in England.

Addickted2TheReds

What a moment!!!

Chris_from_Sidcup

Wonder if Pandya will start smashing it now

Johnnysummers5

Go on Stokes, what a test match

Addickted2TheReds

What a bloke

Chris_from_Sidcup

What an over!!

Chris_from_Sidcup

Rashid!!

Come on, 1 more needed

Leuth

I think we're learning what's important here, and that is that Stig Thundercock should never post (in a cricket thread) again

Leuth

There's fucking it and then there's fucking it

Just got home after 2 days at Edgebaston and now watching it on sky.2 great days of Cricket.Absolute class from Kohli in 1st innings.Left ground last night fearing the worse but well played England this morning.

Addickted2TheReds

How on earth was that not given? Dead in front of all three! Strange.

Chris_from_Sidcup

YEEESSSSSSS

What a morning

SoundAsa£

We win by 31 runs!!!!!

Covered End

Brilliant & 1 minute before Charlton KO !

Nasser Hussein and Harbajhan Singh 45 minutes ago:

Are you worried Harbajhan?
No, not at all. England don’t look like they hold any threat.

Haha! Prick.

Chris_from_Sidcup

@StigThundercock anything to add?
