England V India Test Match Series 2021

Another 100 stand from England's new opening pair, sadly when the milestone was reached & also Burns his half-century, he got a decent ball next up, & was out caught behind. Still a solid start, but a tight run saw Malan short of his ground, & India are back in the contest.

131-2 at lunch 237 still required,would thimk Engand will go for it.

England just need to keep the runs ticking over (without any silly run outs), and make sure that they have sufficent wickets remaining for a last hour chase.

4th Test Oval Day 5 Tea
India 191 & 466
England 290 & 193-8

Crikey!
England had lost 2 wickets and I went for a shave and shower and now they're 8 down!

The loss of 4 wickets for 6 runs after lunch killed off any chance of an England win. The big wicket of Root before tea, followed by Woakes, has snuffed out any chance of playing out for a draw.
All is not lost though, as we head to sunny Old Trafford on Friday, in the hope of leveling the series.

Even more questions about the batting line up. Just a pure mess.

I always believed that a test batsman should seldom be bowled.
If they get through the 1st line of defence then it should hit the pad.

Come back Ben Stokes

Yes these middle order collapses are worrying,the Aussies will be rubbing their hands with glee if and when some of these play against them. Too many one day shots,they need to get back to county championship games and slug it out. If India play like this again at Old Trafford rain dancing could be the order of the day

Are there any batsmen who should be in the England team?
