Test Cricket: England v India

[Paul McKeown]

difficult to judge batting conditions, but is not encouraging

On the contrary, is very encouraging!

Trotters gone too.

[Paul McKeown]

Borthwick gone, but Woakes going some!

201 for 8 off the allotted 42 overs.

Duckworth Lewis adjustment?

Of course Woakes was going some! What have I been saying all summer...

Duckworth Lewis is one skill I've never mastered. Cricinfo claims that it'll be 202 to win, but I can't believe that's right. There will be some adjustment, and the target will be higher than 202.

[Paul McKeown]

202 to win. No adjustment.

Stirling gone for the big trudge...

[Alex Holowczak]

202 to win. No adjustment.

Stirling gone....

Cricinfo now claims that it's 203 to win off 42 overs.

There has to be some adjustment...

[Paul McKeown]

Yep just announced over the radio...

[Paul McKeown]

Gah, Joyce gone.

[Paul McKeown]

I hear the sound of the Saw Doctors playing on the speakers at Clontarf... catchy tune that

From Cricinfo:

Good summary here from Joe Bannister: "So today we've learned that Morgan and Trott are good batsman, and Finn and Woakes are good Bowlers. Oh, and that it rains in Ireland. A useful exercise all round then."

[Paul McKeown]

So back on again. Ireland need 129 off 23.

Good or bad?

[Paul McKeown]

F*** Porterfield gone, that's a good start

[Paul McKeown]

Well it brings on KOB. Six.

[Paul Cooksey]

Shorter good for Ireland I think, given I believe they will need to ride their luck (big six!)

[Paul McKeown]

Six again!

Listening on the radio, no Sly TV here...
