It’s been 144 hours and 24 days, since that sun soaked Test astatine Headingley (ahh ahhh ahh ahhhhhh)
Test cricket. Nothing compares 2 U. As we look down nan tube of a precocious summertime sold to nan money men we person 1 past time of nan really bully worldly to savour and this bid is connected nan line.
England request to sound disconnected 324 runs to triumph it 3-1 but aft Zak Crawley had his disconnected stump splattered by nan indomitable Mohammed Siraj pinch nan past shot of play yesterday and pinch Chris Woakes sporting a sling, India (probably) request conscionable 8 wickets to do nan business and level things up astatine 2-2.
Its been a punishing series. One afloat of awesome moments alternatively than being truly awesome but it deserves a grandstand finish. There are immoderate weary minds and bodies present astatine nan Oval this August Sunday greeting (and that’s conscionable nan property battalion arf-arf)
So, for what is surely nan past clip successful Tests this summer, travel return nan OBOs re-assuring manus and let’s spot this point retired together.
Play starts astatine 11am. Get successful touch why dontcha.
