Cricket-Match-Special ... A forum for discussion

Radio saying the pitch was well watered and a little damp. While that might stop it from breaking up if we get a heatwave, it's going to mark, so batting first might be tough, but it could better to avoid batting last.

Of course, India might bat once, bat big.

Yadav has been a bit wayward. Sharma having the ball move but just struggling tocontrol it a little.

Drop catch.
although looked a bit tough.
really need to take all the chances created especially on day 1.

Chance nevertheless. Good ball

Ashwin in the attack early.

Is he brinnging on Ashwin in the 6th over?

Bizarre move

not a bad over though from him.
probably came in because of the left handers at the crease.

Especially he he said he would like to bowl first.

Well what do we know haha

England wont like seeing that ball grip and turn. Another failure for Cook

Indeed.

Ashwin looking dangerous at the moment.
looks like india probably regretting not playing the 2nd spinner now.

Sharma looked poor in the last few overs.

Bizarre selection really given how poor England are against spin
