India 217-4 after 45 overs, not looking that good for England. It was looking okay until about 35 overs then India started really smashing them all over the place. Can anyone see England getting more than 200?

That's a feckin good effort considering the bowling attack we have.

What on earth has happened to Flintoff - sterling performance.

And yes we can get above 200.

England team takes 4 wickets in 4 balls to leave India on 250 for 9.

Now its down to if England can take on the spinners. England can win this match.

The wicket's going to become alot more difficult for the batsmen as the day wears on. I don't think Englnad will do it.

It all depends on the first 10-15 overs. England need to get plenty of runs on the board, but not take too many chances. The reason India were able to get such a high score was because they had some many wickets left with 10 overs to go.

C'mon England!

Look at this for the first 6 overs

1st over (0-1-w-0-1-w-0-2) Bowler: Zaheer 6-0

2nd over (W-0-w-0-0-0-0) Bowler: Srinath 7-1

3rd over (0-0-0-0-3-0) Bowler: Zaheer 10-1

4th over (1-0-0-0-0-0) Bowler: Srinath 11-1

5th over (0-0-0-1-1-0) Bowler: Zaheer 13-1

6th over (0-0-0-0-0-4) 17-1


Far too many 0's in there for England to win IMO

:(

2 wickets in 1 over, 107-8 now

Anyone still think that we can win this?

Check this out from SkySports.com

"Am I watching one big action replay. White is the latest to follow Nehra outside off stump, and Dravid does the rest. Incredibly, Irani follws in near-identical fashion two balls later. Hats off to Mr Nehra, though, That's six wickets - he's destroyed England. Hang on a minute... Nehra celebrates his sixth wicket with a banana, and he immediately regurgitates it on the square"

Well, that'll learn him ;)
