Live Cricket Online - Day 3 India looks for big partnerships

Live Cricket Online - Day 3

In the last post we mentioned India should not allow England to capitalise. Yes Praveen Kumar tried his best and also grabbed 5 important wickets. But Kevin Pietersen didn't allow Indian bowlers to settle down. He smashed a brilliant double century to take England to 474! It is now the turn of Indian batsmen to showcase similar feat.


Cricket fans are anticipating a ton from Sachin which would also be his 100th International century. We all know that he has rewritten record books with his never ending feats in cricket. Everything looks scripted for him as he would probably bat today for another milestone. 


Apart from Sachin, other stars like Dravid, Gambhir, Laxman, Raina, etc would love to settle down and score big. India badly need good partnerships to anchor innings towards a matching total of 474. Certainly the trio of England viz. Tremlett, Anderson and Broad won't allow this cause but Indian batsmen need to resist.


Live cricket online udpates continue as Day 3 at Lord's brings another enthralling day of cricket.

Live Cricket Online - Day 2 - India needs to restrict England before they capitalise

Live Cricket Online - India Vs England Day 2

Mend the broken before its too late! Indians already lost couple of chances yesterday and to add to it Zaheer may not bowl today. Things aren't going the easier way for India. Apart from that, slowly but steadily England is piling up runs on the board.


Day 2, MS Dhoni has been impressive with his field settings. But he needs good amount of support from his bowlers. A sort of killer instinct is obligatory to put extra pressure of Pietersen, Bell and company. First session -  India clinched the wicket of Trott. And things should keep moving the same way.


England would be looking for a big score without any hurry. The plan would be to put pressure on Indian strong batting line up with a big score through a strict bowling performance by Anderson, Broad, Swann and others. Speculations can be many! Only live cricket online action can reveal the answers to our speculations. Stay tuned and enjoy some great cricket action from Lord's.

Live Cricket Online

After the conclusion of West Indies tour, now India heads towards England. The tour begins with a 3 day match against Somerset. This will be followed by 4 test matches, 1 T20 and 5 ODIs. The first test will be played at the home of cricket; the Lord's which is also the 2000th test match. Eyes would be set on Sachin Tendulkar who has an opportunity to score his 100th ton here.

The big names were missing in the West Indies tour which included Sehwag, Sachin, Gambhir, Yuvraj, Zaheer, etc. They all make a roaring comeback in the tour to England. Although Sehwag isn't completely fit but he will play from the second or the third test. It all depends on his fitness. Meanwhile all the other big names are fit now and all set to play.

This is how the Indian test squad looks:-
MS Dhoni, Gautam Gambhir, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman, Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Abhinav Mukund, Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Harbhajan Singh, Amit Mishra, Zaheer Khan, Sreesanth, Praveen Kumar, Munaf Patel, Ishant Sharma

Watch Live Cricket Online - India looks for a win on final day of final test

Live Cricket Online - Ind Vs WI

After India posted a lead of 140 plus, West Indies wickets again tumbled against the disciplined bowling attack of India. Then came Chanderpaul and the debutant Kirk Edwards to the rescue. Edwards hit a ton on his debut as he scored 110 before falling to Harbhajan Singh.

Chanderpaul stays unbeaten with 73 at the start of day 5. West Indies would begin day 5 with 224 runs on scorecard. They lead by 81 runs but they have already lost 6 wickets. If India could manage to clean up the remaining batsmen in 50 odd runs, then they certainly eye a win here.

After losing more than 100 overs due to rain, day 3 and 4 have observed full day's play. So hopefully if we get a full day's play today, a result looks certain. By the way something to cheer about for Harbhajan as he took 3 wickets at the end of day 4. On day 5 he would expect a couple more.

Live Cricket Online - India Vs West Indies 3rd Test


Third test begins between India and West Indies. This test gives an opportunity for both the teams to play for pride. In the long history of test cricket, India has won only two test series in India with a margin of 1-0. This tour gives them an opportunity to seal the series 2-0. Also this could be India's first tour of West Indies which will end in a ODI as well as Test series win.

West Indies has a glorious past of cricket. They are competing against the current test champions. They will play for pride to display the best they have in terms of cricket and level the series. To do this they have to overcome their batting woes. Bowling has been up to the mark.

Concerns for India are the opening batsmen. But they have solutions as well. Murali and Mukund can be replaced by Parthiv Patel and Badrinath. Similarly Mithun as a bowler can be replaced by Munaf looking at the bouncy track of Dominica.
