One win out of the last two tests and we're world number ones outright!

Is it one win or just win the series by 2 clear?

India were 8-1 when I left the house earlier. I switched on the radio a couple of hours later, and Tendulkar was at the crease, playing nicely. Hmm, I thought, we must have them 2 down. But no - it was 85 for 6! Amazing scenes.

We have to win the series by two clear tests to go number one, or by one test to go joint number number one.

NSFW language

Made me chuckle

Wasn't Sehwag meant to be India's great hope for rescuing this series?

India 75 - 4 at lunch. Great stuff from England.

[toythatkills]

How we let them get 224 when they were 120-7 or something is terrible. Still, England in the driving seat, especially if India's bowling attack is as toothless as it was in the last test.

[abigsmurf]

Cruising to the no.1 spot at the moment, India need to up their game if they don't want to be embarassed.

[toythatkills]

Well, it's gone beyond that now. I hope they bowl us out soon because they're looking totally useless and it's almost sad. This is the (soon ex-)number one team in the world.

EDIT: Oh FFS, Morgan dropped practically as I post. They might as well just go home and give us a 17 wicket victory.

[abigsmurf]

Yep, India are just embarassing now. I just hope they really are giving it all and not thinking "if we lose heavily now, we can blame our injuries"

[toythatkills]

Gutted for Cook, but thank God he's out and we can start bowling at them. About an hour left for tonight, should be long enough to have 'em all out.

[stevie vip 99]

Yeah gutted for cook but a great innings. Hopefully get 2 of them out before stumps

[toythatkills]

Oh God, I am actually laughing out loud

[stevie vip 99]

Oh dear, India really are getting done over by us ha ha.
