Asise from the mad spell of us slipping from 54-1 to 62-5, England have never really been in trouble in my opinion. A great spell from Sharma.

The wicket is still a batters paradise with very little on offer for the spinners. I expect England to find going tough tomorrow and India to make 360-370 and seal a draw.

As much as I love Lords the arena, the lack of, well, anything, from the wicket isn't good for cricket. Roll on Trent Bridge and Edgbaston. We'll find out much more about both teams then I reckon.

how do you get rahul dravid out? this guy seems to be able to bat forever.

Not dropping him when diving at slip would be a start. *cough* Swanny *cough*

Well said Champaign,

all three results are possible, India will have to be careful in the morning and then ease into natural stroke play. If the could save wickets till after lunch then play like one day game to create a history.

There's only 2 possible results, either we will win or a draw. My money's on a win and Broad will run through them again this innings.

Duncan Fletcher won't allow that , he will play for a draw, then plan for Trent Bridge.

69.99% - Eng win
29.99% - Draw
0.02% - Ind win (to complete mathamatics as all possible outcomes have a probability, however miniscule)

Make no mistake, if it's a draw Eng lose the series. India will oly get better from here.

I would agree if you India had a fully fit side but they haven't.

I dont agree.. I see it this way.. I just cant see how India will bowl England out cheaply or quickly enough...
theres always excuses! If India have poor back up players dont say much for the future..

We cannot predict this series.

For a start, nobody saw Broad being our best bowler this game and Ishant's outstanding spell yesterday.

Both teams are very equal. If fit, Sehwag and Tendulkar give India the batting advantage. We have the better spinner and in my opinion, depth of bowling options.

We know our conditions, but so do the experienced Indian players.

This could come down to those forgotten factors such as fielding, running between the wickets and breaking key partnerships.

Yorkie correct in every detail.
