England 3- India 1 IMO

That victory might come at Manchester. The Oval will most likely see a draw.

 

[Aravind.]

400 runs on day 1 for India A, great ton for Karun.

What an innings by Karun Nair (204 in 281 balls)

He has been by far the best player in this match

Looking at the votes, I salute the optimism of some.

I am a bit surprised that we havent opted for a practice game vs any county team. Instead of relying on an Intra-squad match i.e. India v India 'A', would have been better to play England Lions or any one else.

Concept: the day is Wednesday 23rd July. England are 2-0 down in the series after a spate of injuries ran through the bowling attack like a vegetable vindaloo on a cold winter's day.

Gill wins the toss and announces that India will bat first.

Stand-in captain Ollie Pope hands over the England team sheet and announces that they've had to recall a player who they believe is the best available option at that moment. A player with loads of wickets for his county this year.

At 11:00, Jimmy Anderson runs in to bowl from the Jimmy Anderson End in the Tendulkar-Anderson Trophy
