Runs coming easy for England at this point. Dravid has to introduce the spinners soon.

[quote="legspinner@FactHunt":2ea64]Worth remembering that Collingwood and Pietersen are the best players of spin in the team.[/quote:2ea64]

It's also worth remembering that Pietersen is quickly becoming Chawla's bunny and Collingwood has been dismissed before by the young spinner. <s><img><s> There is also the matter of variation. But, there is little to no pressure on England at this point, so they can pretty much nudge a single here or there and still win easily.

Important wicket, that. England bat deep in this match though, so the match is still in their hands.

Bopara should be gaining match experience and he's not getting that sitting behind Flintoff

At the moment Flintoffs in and out within 3 overs so its ok anyway! <s><img><s>

91 from 139... That's doable, but there's only 3 wickets left!

England batting has crumbled like a bag of poo. Pietersen again crap, Prior again out slicing it. Cook gone early, Flintoff early, Shah early, Collingwood stupidly run out. Massive ask now for Bopara and Broad. Just 3 wickets left, good thing we only need 3.5 an over.

I don't like talking down my own national team, but I can't see Broad lasting long!

Done pretty well so far. 15 from 32 aint bad is it. Just need to keep going like this...

England seemingly running away with the victory here. India clearly lacks the killer instinct. I would try Agarkar out to possibly get the breakthrough, if I were Dravid.

Its the dilemma whether to bowl them ot win now, or bowl at the end. Personally I'd go for broke,
