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

[Dr Cricket]

Jadeja drops cooks again, looked a tough chance though, went quickly to the slips.
Some of the so called drops in the slips for india this series are quite harsh, can only really remember 1 or 2 being take able, the rest are either too low, too quick or very wide to take easily.

England have won toss and opted to bat first. Can they carry on the advantage

2 changes each for both teams.

Bit of seam movement on offer

That edge really flew he didn't even get a hand on it

yeah looked really quick on TV and that would slowed it down as well.
would be great if they actually show the reaction time then rather blame it on Jadeja or act like it was a dolly that should be taken.

[Dr Cricket]

Quick start from Cook, edgy start from him though.

[rich1uk]

this is something cook does alot, score his first 20 or so runs at a run a ball then settles down and starts grinding

[meninblue]

Time for a wicket

[hopeforthebest]

Cook getting away with murder at present, looks all at sea to deliveries on the off line.

[Dr Cricket]

might be a good test this, if the pitch last 4 or 5 days.
outfield looks quick so teams could easily score quickly here, be interesting to see how Ashwin and Jadeja bowl here got pace and bounce which they might enjoy.

[Gingerfinch]

morning campers.

Good start then, well at least no wickets as yet.

[Dr Cricket]

looks like a great pitch so far.
Some movement for the quicks, decent pace/carry and definitely some turn for the spinners.

[Dr Cricket]

boom Hameed goes for 9.

[Dr Cricket]

Suspect india would have like BK today, hard to get him in unless Yadav get dropped or Nair doesn't play but 6 bowlers looks far too many for india.

[hopeforthebest]

A crucial partnership between Cook and Root now.

[rich1uk]

not alot hameed could have done about that, ball just took off from a good length
