India lose Kohli and Rohit Sharma to retirement after the debacle in Australia

Time of day? 20/20 are usually in the evening after people finish work?

Why is it when I see the 20/20 matches in India they are absolutely full to capacity but whenever I see a test match in progress its nearly empty for all five days, yet we are told what a cricket loving nation they are ?
just wondering like ?

Poor from Stokes

Idiotic shot from Brook to put us under some pressure. 

England cruising to victory but Northern rain has appeared
Defeat here would be India’s 7th in their last 9 Test matches

Good work Benjamin son.

Surprisingly starting on time
Hopefully the rain stays away as should be a great day

Two ties in the history of Test cricket
Australia v West Indies at Brisbane 1960
India v Australia at Madras 1986

Joe Solomon threw down the stumps from side on for the first in a CLASSIC series featuring the likes of Benaud & Sobers

In the second in hot & humid conditions Dean Jones made 210 & almost died
Greg Matthews took 10 wickets including the last lbw while bowling wearing a jumper

Rare as hens teeth, but still entirely possible.

Ties very rarely happen especially in Tests or county cricket.

Win, Loss, Draw, Tie

Just read this on the ever reliable Beeb:

'It sets up the prospect of a grandstand finale on Tuesday with all four results possible.'

Honest question, but what could the fourth result possibly be?

350 target on the final day.
England of old would've been happy to navigate the final day for a draw.
Not too sure that's what they'll be thinking tonight. Games in the balance, although possibly favouring India at the moment.
Set up for a cracking days play tomorrow, weather permitting.
An absolute cսnt that I'll be working.
 

This is set up for a cracking final day, 3 results all entirely possible.

India have a tail like a MANX CAT
371 to win with half an hour to bat tonight

India cranking it up since lunch

England look like making a game of it. 

Meanwhile Essex are fucking shit, does any one know why we're so fucking shite?

Proper arm wrestle of Test cricket in the first session
Still up for grabs for both teams
Northern weather allowing

Excellent Test so far
50/50 with India 96 ahead with 8 wickets in hand
Forecast looks cloudy on Tuesday with chance of light showers on Monday 

RIP David Lawrence

Good start. 16-1

That said she did only play 5 Test matches (for Australia)

Would a man with only 5 Test matches be on the Sky team?
