can broad even survive an over to Ashwin

[Arthur Crabtree]

Opportunity for some new-Botham hype here for Curran. Just needs to convert into a ton and then skittle India for about 120.

Sam is spoiling the show for India.

[sussexpob]

And this time back over his head for 4

[sussexpob]

4 swings....4 misses...

make that 5...

And 6... the whole set.

[sussexpob]

BOSH.... he reaches 50

[meninblue]

50. Well played. Now hope he get out. Don't want to chase over 200. If England wins Sam has to be Man of Match for running through top order in first innings along with 24 runs he scored in 1st innings and a run a ball 50+ in second innings.

[andy]

fantastic from Curran! Having a fantastic match! Can Broad stay with him!!?

[sussexpob]

Why isnt Ashwin on

[meninblue]

Yessssssssss main batsman out.

[meninblue]

5 fer for ishant. 5- 51. Superb bowling performance

[sussexpob]

Yessssssssss main batsman out.

FInally go fuller to him. Not sure I got how the Indian seamers and Kohli have set up since the break. As Nasser said, the way to get broad is short-full-short-full. He bats like Bambi on ice nowadays, target his stumps, then short to kkeep him moving back
