First topic message reminder :

Jimmy ends up with 2 wickets for his troubles and Broad leads England with 3.

Its a funny game.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:17 am

4-1-20-3

Those are the figures of Ravi Bopara. Yes that is true

by msp83 Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:18 am

India 79-5 after 15. They are at least 20 runs short at this point, and have lost at least 2 wickets too many.

by Duty281 Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:18 am

4-1-20-3. Well done Bopara. clap

by GSC Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:18 am

Tredwells got to go you'd think.

by GSC Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:20 am

7 to finish for Tredwell, England will take that.

Now 4 for the Seamers.

by msp83 Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:21 am

India 86-5 after 16.

by Duty281 Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:21 am

10 an over from here wouldn't even get India past 130. Keep it tight England, one more wicket and India could completely crumble.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:21 am

Good spell from Tredders as well, I feared he might get a tonking today, but he's bowled his usual tight self.

Finish it off now England

by GSC Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:21 am

Batting PP. Surprised that didnt come one over sooner.

Broad or Anderson to finish?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:22 am

Broad

by trebellbobaggins Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:24 am

Bes taking a beating and the crowd loving it.

by GSC Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:25 am

India have struggled to hit on this pitch

by Duty281 Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:26 am

11 off that over, 2 wides included. 3 overs to go.

by GSC Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:26 am

11 off Bresnan.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:27 am

11 off the over, not great, not a disaster

by Duty281 Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:27 am

Broad to bowl the 18th over. So then it'll be Bres, finishing with Anderson, I presume.

by GSC Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:28 am

Short stuff coming

by msp83 Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:29 am

Even 10 an over won't get them to 130. England pretty much in control. With only 6 an over to chase, there won't be any real pressure on the England top order, and Morgan, Bopara and Buttler can finish it off.

by Duty281 Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:30 am

Trott's dropped a difficult one.

by GSC Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:30 am

Trott drops Kohli. Fingertip stuff but needed that to stick

by Duty281 Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:31 am

Big six for India off the final ball. Good over turned into a rather average one. 106/5 with 2 overs left.

by GSC Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:32 am

6 from Kohli salvages that over from India.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:32 am

Still don't understand why we don't bowl yorkers

by msp83 Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:32 am

India 106-5 after 18.

by GSC Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:33 am

Short stuff works vs the Indians usually, Broad just overdoes it.

by GSC Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:33 am

6 off Jimmys first ball

by Duty281 Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:33 am

Anderson bowling the 19th? 6 off the first ball. Can't let them get to 130.

by trebellbobaggins Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:33 am

These two are taking India to a good total. The reaction tells you they are fancied by the fans now. India should breeze it.

by trebellbobaggins Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:35 am

Kohli goes for six against anders and gets out trying it again next ball.

No doubt he's done the damage needed though.

by Duty281 Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:35 am

Nice catch by Ravi, Kohli gone. 113/6. 9 balls left.

by Mad for Chelsea Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:35 am

slot bowling from Anderson, but he gets Kohli! skies one straight to Bopara at long-off...

by GSC Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:35 am

Good catch from Ravi

by NickisBHAFC Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:35 am

Yeah Nice catch there from Ravi

Looking good!

by msp83 Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:35 am

Kohli goes, with 9 balls remaining. That could be the difference between 125 and 135.

by GSC Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:36 am

Counter attack was always going to come, what can india make now.

by trebellbobaggins Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:38 am

Anders has been expensive this over. India so good In this format.

Over 20 seems a bit high for eng in these conditions.

by Duty281 Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:38 am

11 from the over, 117/6. All up to the Bres man now, Ashwin will be on strike first up.

by GSC Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:38 am

England will fancy a low run rate game though.

by msp83 Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:39 am

The 19th gone, India 117-6. Ashwin will be on strike for the start of the last over. can they somehow manage to get 130? That will at least give them a fighting chance with some early wickets.

by GSC Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:41 am

Gone, run out

by Duty281 Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:41 am

Run-out, I think. 3rd umpire says......yes!!!

by GSC Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:41 am

This review wont take long

by Mad for Chelsea Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:42 am

fine fielding from Bell, good sacrifice from Ashwin to get Jadeja back on strike, though he was too slow to turn there, always had to be coming back for 2.

by GSC Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:44 am

6 more to Jadeja

Sky showed an a piece this morning which showed that length balls and the short stuff was hit for less runs than the 'Yorker' full length balls which were going at a S/R of 150+.

by GSC Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:44 am

130 to win for England at 6.5 an over.

by Guest Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:45 am

130 to win, we really should be chasing that score down!

by Duty281 Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:45 am

Bres was mixing it up well but the fifth ball brings a six for Jadeja. Final total 129/7. 130 for England to take the trophy, their first major 50-over trophy. Check the radar:

Clear skies over Birmingham at the minute.

by Mad for Chelsea Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:45 am

unlucky for England. Kumar steps on his stumps, twice, but the bails stay on, and Jadeja - back on strike - smashes the next one for six! Good finish from India, but England will surely fancy 130 to win...

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:45 am

Kumar basically demolished the stumps, and the bails didn't come off!

130 to win, we should hopefully knock this off. Well bowled lads
