Three quick wickets and its game on with england losing 3 top batsmen at 23 for 3.

I have a feeling they would all rather be watching the footie

England made it in the end. A very exciting match to get the 5-0 series win.

Comedy cricket from the wobblies in the T20 against England.

England set 199 for India in the deciding T20.

Brilliant game, India ahead of the run rate, slapping sixes galore, but Jordan just took an awesome catch on the boundary.

62/3 off 5.3.

England have done a great job recovering from game one.

They are absolutely cruising this decider, and the only negative is that Morgan (85no) and Root (90no) can't both get centuries with only 14 required.

Root is closest; I wonder if Morgan will give him the strike?

2 to win... 4 for Root's ton....

Go for it!.......

Root gets the ton, England win the game, England win the series.

Terrific performance and back to back 100s for Root.

The 50v side is in good shape.

Nice century from Root to end the game. They made the decider a lot easier than I had imagined

Just the right amount of ‘niggle’ injected into the England India series yesterday.

Looking forward to seeing how this pans out.

Can’t beat test cricket...and Edgbaston is replete with good memories for me.

Just the sight of the hallowed sod with 13 competitors in whites was a balm for the soul.

Kohli running out Root was quite entertaining.

Gave him a bit of a send off as well!

Broad and Anderson still bowling.

Talk about Groundhog day!

And Cook still opening.

A terrible decision by Root to review a LBW going two miles down leg side.

Looks like good weather though!

Cook should do the decent thing and jump before he is pushed.

Kohli rode some early luck (put down in the slips, after nicks from Anderson and Stokes) and terrific swing bowling to put on a superb 149. Give him his due, he is good under pressure and has made changes to his technique for Anderson et al.

There must be a decent young opener in England that can do better then Cook.

Anderson bowled well yesterday without luck but Broad is finished.

Well that must have been a wicket and a half, because while I could imagine England getting bowled out twice for <500, I really didn't expect India to.

I see Stokes is up in front of the beak.

Hopefully justice will be the winner.

Not looking good.

Given that one of them came into it with a bottle and the other one a piece of a street sign, I would like to think that his honesty in using good old fashioned gentlemanly bare knuckles to knock them the fuck out will stand him in good stead.

Shocking behaviour! He should have been dragged behind the pavilion and sodomised with an unjellied bat handle in true public school fashion!

Bowler Handed A Nine-Match Ban For Unsportsmanlike Behavior

Updated: 08 August 2018 16:20 IST

Bowler banned after he threw the ball over the boundary rope for a no-ball four, in order to deny a rival batsman a century.

Acting on the unsportsmanlike behavior, which took place during the match between Minehead Cricket Club and Purnell Cricket Club on August 4 in the Somerset Cricket League, the SCL Disciplinary Committee on Tuesday handed a nine-match ban to the unnamed Purnell CC bowler.

The incident took place during the second inning of the game when Minehead CC's Jay Darrell, who was batting on 98, (team requiring two runs to win) was denied his first-ever league century as the Purnell CC bowler decided to throw the ball over the boundary rope for a no-ball four.

The match was won by Minehead CC but the behavior from the bowler drew flak on social media. Issuing a statement on their website, the club confirmed the suspension of the player.

"The Somerset Cricket League has noted the details of an incident that occurred in the Division 2 match between Minehead 2nd XI v Purnells CC, played on 4th August 2018. The SCL Disciplinary Committee has reviewed the incident. The incident in its opinion brought the SCL and Cricket in general into disrepute and contained behaviour that was against the Spirit of the Game. As a result of this review, a Purnells CC player has been banned for the next 9 completed SCL matches," the SCL said in its statement.


Jay Darrell, who was left stranded on 98, also expressed his displeasure on the incident after the game.

Second test at Lord's is back underway after a secon day of rain. The English swingers are having a field day although catching the edges isn't easy by the number of drops. India are 69-6 and looking bemused.

India all-out for 107 at the end of day 2. Weather is forecast to be dry tomorrow and then rain again Sunday before sunshine on Monday. It coulld favour the English but depends on whether India can swing the ball half as well...

...

England building a lead after a shaky start, it's 213-5 and a good possibility of a second win if the weather allows.

Chris Woakes gets his first test century and Bairstow on 90 as England reach 300-5. This has been an excellent knock by these two.
