England Winter Test cricket thread

[Vermilion]

130/3 England so far. Lead by 136. Trott 52 Bell 15 at the crease.

Still very possible for India to force a result.

As Boycott keeps telling us....NY.

Can see Dhoni in trouble after this match

[Vermilion]

That's it for today. 165 ahead 3 wickets down. Trott and Bell still in.

Lose two or 3 quick wickets again tomorrow and it's still on for India.

Tough ask, but the thought of Tendulka batting them to victory, in one of them sporting moments to remember is still there, for now.

Not a chance. India can not win it from here.

Not a chance. India can not win it from here.

It's unlikely but they definitely can. We collapse tomorrow with only a lead of no more than 250 then India have an opening. Will be tremendously exciting if that happens because they've got nothing to lose and will go on the charge.

Trott/Bell partnership of 180 has done the job.

[Pedenj]

Trott has just gone - nervous moments ahead....................

[Shaggy]

Beautiful. Bring on NZ and Oz!

[Pedenj]

Joe Root has just smashed a 6 - Good lad.

This has been so comfortable in the end. Times we've needed to dig in we have and our bowling attack has just been unreal.

[Shaggy]

Joe Root is great

Ton for Bell. Every batsman has now contributed.

[Pedenj]

Ian Bell - 100

Much needed for him

[Vermilion]

All done and won. No panic stations at the end either.

[Chazza]

Great series win especially after the first test.

[Shaggy]

What an achievement

[GTi]

Fantastic win. Fancied us to get gubbed after first test.
