    Going to go to bed and hope the result is favourable in the morning. Nothing has given me hope after Kane and Rachin went back into the changeroom.

        Pitch doesn't look too bad. We are well short of a par score.

              They did well to get 251

              Nicely done Bracewell

                So we go one better than the Aussies. Huge underdogs to take this out now

                  Bracewell and Mitchell given us something to bowl too.

                  We have the slower bowlers to make it hard for India.

                  Bracewell gives us hope. Jadeja brilliant

                    Well 251 is still higher than the average batting first on this pitch. We still have a chance but spin needs to be prioritised and hopefully some early wickets

                      Well they got their 250, but I fear it may not be enough, I thought they could have pushed harder for 280. India are favorites, but we are still right in this and India will be under huge pressure against our spinners as well.

                        If any of our quicks go for more than 6 an over in their first two, then SatNav needs to drag them and bring on the spinners.

                          India need 252 to win. That could have gone worse I guess, but it's unlikely to be enough to win.

                            I know we picked 3 seamers. But maybe he needs to channel Martin Crowe and bowl spin right from the off... Overs from Satnav, Bracewell, Rachin, Phillips and Mitchell, and maybe even Kane

                                Not a great start for our two quicks. 11 rpo to start things off.

                                  Argh Mitchell drops a catch. A tough one hander, but gettable.

                                      Bowling Smith first change on this pitch to Sharma and Gill makes absolutely no sense.

                                          Philips is becoming almost as valuable as Chris Harris.
