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

    112-6
  • 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! :-)
  • Malan should still not be in this side by the way. Showed some bollocks in the ashes but he's shite in England.
  • What a moment!!!
  • Wonder if Pandya will start smashing it now
  • Go on Stokes, what a test match
  • What a bloke
  • What an over!!

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

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

    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.
  • @StigThundercock anything to add?
