Flintoff was really unlucky there,getting run out.

He could've built on his 50.

 

[gamerkid22]

jones should get a century now if England want to score 300+

 

[gold639]

It'll be his first 100 if he does

England 195/5 after 34 overs , Jones 71*, Collingwood 11*

Harsha Bhogle :
India have let the advantage slip away and once again in this match, England are on top . Victory is in sight . They need 64 runs from 16 overs with Collingwood and Geraint Jones still at the crease . Giles and th bowlers to follow but Giles can bat as well . AS I have been saying all through the day, If India pick up a couple of wickets quickly , this game will come alive again .
Can India come good again or will the young English Wicketkeeper steal the show ?

England lose Jons at an important time ! 207/6 after 39 overs !

Harsha Bhogle :
India have just found a little ray of hope of coming back into the contest . Once again it is Irfan Pathan who has provided the oppurtunity getting rid of Geraint Jones caught behind with a beautiful outswinger . Indians were visibly ecstatic on getting th wicket as Jones an Collingwood were looking well set to guide England to victory ! Giles is looking very vulnerable under pressure in the only over he has faced of Pathan . If India can squeeze in a couple of tight overs, then there is another added dimension to the contest . The req RR will just nudge past 6 RPO for the first time in this innings and then the onus will be on Collingwood to do th scoring . Its all set for an humdinger of a contest !

Update :
England 207/6 after 39 overs ( G.Jones 75 , Flintoff 51 , Collingwood 16*)

 

[gold639]

Ahh.....G.Jones finally out!

 

[gamerkid22]

time to wrapup the innings quickly.

 

[gold639]

Its not over yet,Giles can bat a bit.

 

[gamerkid22]

but Pathan is on fire too ......... if India will get a wicket in the next couple of overs then the match will head towards a nail biting finish
