If it's Friday, then England must be thrashing India - again. England are 408/2, Bell and Pietersen both have 150+ and are scoring at a rate of knots. At this rate, only more bad weather can stop a whitewash.

India have been such a disappointment. Talk on the radio is of a VERY bad home for them when they return. :nono:

Looks like India have finally decided to turn up to the party - in their last innings of the Test series....

I spoke too soon! SAchin falls for 91 and now the England pack are circling. The only question is, will India at least make enough to make England bat again...?

... and the answer is: NO! All out for 283, chasing 291 to avoid an innings defeat.

I went out for a late lunch break and sundry other matters, and missed all the fun. :lay:

4-0. Awesome. The England Juggernaut rolls on.

Love the way Boycott only ever refers to Morgan as "The Irishman"....

You can add "Military medium" to that as in "The Indian bowlers, they're just military medium"

If he's said that once this series, he's said it 125 billion times.
