3rd Test: India v England at Mohali on Nov 26-30

[bigfluffylemon]

Hameed has already survived more balls then anyone else bar Root. At least he's making the Indian spinners work hard for his wicket. If he or Root are still there by tea, then England will have a chance. A small chance, but a chance nonetheless

[bigfluffylemon]

There goes Root. Me and my big gob.

[Gingerfinch]

Well that's that. Root gets another 50 but fails to convert. Not criticising but it is frustrating sitting in my armchair hoping for a miracle.

The number of times an England wicket has fallen just before a break in play is becoming endemic and most of them batsman error but not so with that of Root. a wonderful reaction catch by Rahane who's been invisible for most of the series, perhaps Joe didn't see him there.

[hopeforthebest]

Jadeja looking dangerous.

[hopeforthebest]

Second new ball, this is a big test for Hameed and Woakes.

[Aidan11]

Woakes falls for the sucker punch.

[hopeforthebest]

Great bowling from Shami to get Woakes but Chris should have expected the second short ball after getting hit on his helmet. A case of the surprise short ball getting into the head of a batsman.

Rashid bounced out for a duck, he should have ducked first. Shami finishing off the game in style.

[hopeforthebest]

Anderson calms the situation with a single.

[Arthur Crabtree]

If England are determined to play a specialist batter at seven, maybe it should be Haseeb.

[hopeforthebest]

Shami taken off even though he's bowling well and replaced by Jadeja. Wonder if this is because Anderson is batting, umpire Erasmus had word with Anderson, maybe saying no trouble please.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Haseeb's first Test six?

[Arthur Crabtree]

And a fifty. If England win this, maybe it's not too late for Haseeb at SPOTY.

[hopeforthebest]

Hameed going well and takes England to a lead of 100.

[hopeforthebest]

Jadeja only on for a single over so Kohli was clearly up to something other than cricket.
