For the less fortunate, follow the live text commentary of the match over at BBC.
Here are some snippets of the very expressive text commentray from BBC:
“Nightmarish times for Pup Broad as Dravid dispenses with his Wall alter-ego in favour of some Henry Heave-Ho.”“Dravid smashes Jimmy off the front foot for an extraordinary six over the cover boundary. The ball travels so fast that it knocks a full pint straight out of a stunned spectator’s hands. Soaked in beer, the fan turns to the gallery and raises his arms in unmerited triumph.”
“There are, sadly, people out there who will try to tell you that this clash will be as forgettable as Daphne and Celeste. Ignore them - for they are fools who know nothing of the ways of cricket.”
“I’m still here! I am the unfortunate fool who has to work the late shift today until seven; I am manically pressing the refresh button in same kind of attempt at happiness.”
