Cricinfo had just said THIS
Now 350 looks on. England would have been happy with 335 when the 41st over began but India have lost the plot here
Next Line says THIS… Commentators Curse
47.1
Bumrah to Stokes, OUT, Bumrah gets a wicket. Will this slow England down? Bouncer from over the wicket. A good one. At his left shoulder. Stokes mis-hits the pull and finds deep midwicket. That innings has turned the momentum for England
BA Stokes c Yadav b Bumrah 62 (40b 2x4 5x6) SR: 155.00
Stokes goes for 62
England 317 - 6
47.1 overs
Ooh Ooh
And Rory has made up a 3 shot deficit on Stormy and is now tied for the lead with 5 holes to play in SA Open.
Why have we been instructed not to ignore this thread?
Well if you’d been told to ignore it you’d all be on here posting shit and I wouldn’t be able to point out that Moen is just out for 28 of 17 balls
336/7
339 -7 Moeen Ali out for 28
into the last over
350- 7 in 50 overs
Englands highest score in India.
Got to be able to defend thay surely?
And Rory takes the lead!
MORE interestingly Young English Player Jordan Smith is now 2nd. Who?
He’s a Nipper who played last year on the “Challenge Tour” (ie 2nd Division). He won their penultimate tournament which was held about 60 miles up the road in Ras al Khaimah and went on to do well in the finale in Oman
He seems to have the basics and this is an exceptional performance in the 1st Tournament of his first season on tour, should gain him entry to Abu Dhabi next week. Big things expected of him.

Beltch can explain that one.
1 wide and 1 lb of the. First Indian over
Of coure the really BIG Golf Story (Aw) from SA is Stormy.
Last year he missed a putt on the last green in the last ranking tournament to finish in (I think) 116th place in the Race to Dubai (Order of Merit)
As a result he lost his playing card for this season.
Patrick Reed (US Ryder Cup) player then got injured in the build up to the final series of events and then was BANNED by the US Regulations from playing in Turkey.
That meant he had not matched the membership criteria for the European Tour by not playing enough events. So he drops out the list
And Stormy got to keep his playing card by the skin of his teeth.
And Karma kicks in with Stormy in a Play Off with Rory for the Title down in South Africa having battled for the last 18 holes with the main man
India 10=0 of 3 overs
Dhawan still to get off the mark
And out.
!3-1 Dhawan gets off the duck and gets out
Says Cricinfo
Pd: “One big difference in this series --} England batters will look to score always, a settled side. Indian batters will look to score to secure position initially, like Dhawan here. Initial 5 overs can cost match.”
Kohli in now - quick wicket could do some Psychological damage here
