India tour of England 2018

[Bhumi]

Considering India's batting in this series, I believe a 150-200 target should be enough to bury them on this pitch which has already been very helpful to the likes of Moeen Ali and Rashid. And seeing the start England have, they are well on course for a 250 lead. With England's batting order playing upside down (where lower order always scores more), we're definitely looking at 4-1.

You never know because this year not enough rain at London which could help
Batsman continues piles up runs or just defend ordinary English spin attack
3/1 sounds better than 4/1

Some rearguard action by the Indians at last. Wonder what the outcome would have been had we done this in earlier matches. However, seems like it's still not enough as England are already 150 ahead with 8 wickets in hand. This is already a threatening score and anything above 200 will no doubt mean only one team will stand a chance of winning this test and that won't be India.

But what an ending it would be for Cook if he manages to score a hundred today.

India need to bowl England out in the next 75 runs to have a 20% chance of winning this test match.

Cook is making his innings meaningful and memorable...

 

[asprin]

Last 10 overs, 53 runs. Seems like Root is in a hurry to declare. Both will go on to make centuries.

What a way to sign off from international cricket. It’s been a great innings from Cook

Cook gets to 100 in his final test. What a fantastic send off for him and I'm really happy for him. India will also be thrashed in this match as well.

Deserving century for Cook, great way to end a career...Kudos to him..

Would like to quote this message as well which I posted after he announced his retirement..

Cook retiring after the final test and I really hope he finishes off with a century.. Great player , always enjoyed watching him play.. His defensive game was top quality and the way he scored loads of runs with the way he played was really something to watch..

 

[Perfect Square]

What a legendary opener of this era. Hundred to start his international career and hundred in his last match...

Scores a 50 and a 100 in his debut test against.... wait for it..... INDIA! Scores a 50 and a 100 in his farewell test against...... yes wait for it..... INDIA!!

What a record to have for Alaistair Cook! Brilliant. Odds of having such a record is very remote and tough to equal. A dreamy fairytale ending!
