Well…yeah…probably.

No bunch of fans deserve to see a heartbreaking loss more than these Indian fans.

Hope it happens on the final ball of the day to get their hopes up.

I’m convinced he has been told to only give people out if it’s completely obvious. No lbws.

He is poor and that LBW was a shocker but I’m not convinced the last one was easy for an umpire to give. Was clearly out but but I’m not sure he got a great look at it

Unfortunately cricket is becoming a bit like soccer where refs wont make the big calls and let VAR handle it.

I think the Indian fans at the ground are lovely and English visiting fans make them look like Mary Poppins…I mean…which they just about are anyway.

oooo that was close

I’m back and FMD - another wicket!

And almost another one.

Better ā– ā– ā– ā–  off again.

The right decision was made on the Jaiswal dismissal, but holy crap can you imagine the response from the crowd if it was an Australian batter given out under those circumstances? It would be…ugly.

The more pertinent question for me is why did Jaiswal even play at that? Kohli, Pant and Jaiswal all threw their wickets away to nothing deliveries in this innings, it’s made Australia’s job a whole lot easier.

Eh.
We survived McDermott.

Why is Sundar giving Akash the strike!?

See you later then. Catch the replay.

If Lyon and Boland can survive 19 overs, india can draw this.

He is like Steve Waugh, he believes in his tail enders.

Ridiculous.

Yep, this ain’t won yet. But there’s a new ball shortly.

Difference is India have one gun bowler and the rest are popgun mediums
