First Test: England v India at Edgbaston, 1-5 August 2018.

[sussexpob]

Think if India are to win this game, they need to attack

[Durhamfootman]

good response from Curran and co to get us to 180

India 4 down, but the one man in the one man team is not one of the 4

5 down now

still not the one man

[sussexpob]

Jsut a feeling the ball is starting to die down a little in the lasst few overs. Stokes and Anderson starting to search for the swing and getting a bit ragged

[Arthur Crabtree]

Maybe about 50-50 now. Kohli, a couple of top order batters in Pandya and Karthik and the bowlers. A ball that is getting older.

But, India have to make a fresh start tomorrow, and there will be plenty of crowd atmosphere.

[KipperJohn]

For the most part, this game has looked like several one day batsmen trying to play Test cricket.

[sussexpob]

More 65-35 England in my view. I think India have to play really well to get there, and the game is ended in one ball really if Kohli goes

That's what test cricket is these days unfortunately

[backfootpunch]

Stokes not quite hitting his line and length

Looks like a few not great batsman being challenged with very tough bowling and movement. No one has really slogged or gone aggressive, these errors are all defensive

[Arthur Crabtree]

36 added for one wicket. Game swings to India.

[Durhamfootman]

100-5?

sounds familiar

I wonder what happened last time

have we had our 78 overs for the day yet?

Looks like a few not great batsman being challenged with very tough bowling and movement. No one has really slogged or gone aggressive, these errors are all defensive

Because they are mainly one day players who have built their game around attacking strokes not a solid defence?

[Arthur Crabtree]

England haven't bowled out a side chasing for under 200 for 20 years (BBC).

[andy]

Need Kohli, get him and rest will follow, Karthik never looks convincing! wanna see Broad back on and running in

[Durhamfootman]

if they do get Kohli, I reckon someone else will put his hand up

and England will allow it because they think that once they have Kohli they have the game. Taking opposition players for granted just smacks of arrogance, and is probably the only thing the test team still does well
