@Stan You are at every big match are tickets easy to get or you have your connections ?

connections ;)

I applied for loads of tickets (about £2000 worth) for the games next summer. We know a lot of people in the Bharat Army so they get a lot of tickets too. But my bro and my dad got tickets in the ballot for the WC as well - India vs West Indies; Bangladesh vs India. So there's always options!

Went to watch England vs India at Trent Bridge yesterday. Good atmosphere sitting with Bharat Army (equivalent of Barmy Army for England). 

Good game of cricket too although expected England to get several more runs. India won with ease in the end. Rohit Sharma is different level sometimes. Love watching him bad. Yadav getting 6-25 is ridiculous too. 

Met Yadav, Chahal and Shreyas Iyer after the game in a restaurant as well. Ended up going to casino with them. They're whipping out £50 notes and I'm sitting there with my fivers xD xD

Good fun though, they spent time with us which not many players would do.

Do you support England or India?

Good for the series in my opinion.

I'm expecting India to hammer England at least once tbh.

i don't. our form in this part of the world is terrible. 

all i keep thinking about is the series 4 years ago - and given the way we've collapsed today, I don't see that changing.

Skipped work today. So far it's turned out to be a wonderful decision. This has been a fantastic day of Test cricket so far. 

Kohli, though lucky, has shown why he is just a touch above others. He has worked hard for that. 

Fairly impressed by Curran. Reminds me of Boult.

Kohli. What a player.

Huge ton given the way the game was playing out in this innings. Curran skittling through the batsmen opposite him and he's the one that persevered and battled with he and Anderson and has come out on top so far.

Been a great test match. Not boring at all. And it's only been 2 days.

The last two wickets helped to add 90 odd runs. 

Also, Virat scored 130 or so runs in the 10 innings in 2014 series and today he scored 149. One of the finest innings I have seen against a good bowling attack, especially Anderson who was amazing but unlucky. 

 

This could be like that 144 which Ganguly scored in the first trst match against Aus in Aus, while the rest of the team failed. That century charged the rest of the team and that series was nearly won.

India have to chase the highest total they've ever had to in England to win this now. 194 is the target.

Sam Curran saved England so far considering they were 87-7 when he came on to the pitch. 

England have a star player on their hands if he continues like this.

This match just got more interesting Kohli out !

Still think India would do it

 

no way. the tail will be done before Pandya gets a chance to see it out. Need a massive innings from him and still 52 to get.

Kohli was the one that needed to stay in.

Thought India's tail end was strong enough to hold long enough for Pandya to do something.

nah, not at all. Not with the way the England bowlers are making the ball move.

SUperb cricket, sad we couldn't win and chase that target down. 

But this is why Test cricket is so good. Great entertainment since day one. Hope the next 4 test are just as good.
