lol what is ali doing.

[backfootpunch]

Pathetic session from England

3 terrible shots

Just giving the game to india

With buttler at 7 this partnership is vital

Our session. 3 wickets out of 4 from pacers will help spinners a lot to bowl to under pressure batters.

All battera are stroke players, maybe we will get to bat today.

On a normal outfield this would be 65-4

Yep might be a good test because of the fast outfield.
Saying that england not exactly scoring quick though.
only going at 3.29.

The collapse may have something to do with that

maybe but not sure either, since Ali and Bairstow hardly rotated the strike against the spinners.
Yadav bowled 4 maidens in a row and Ashwin 7 overs for 14.
Ali scored 16 from 45 balls and 10 runs came from 2 balls.

[bigfluffylemon]

Very poor from England. That's practically handed the game to India.

[Dr Cricket]

Brilliant session for India so far, lose the toss, bowl first and take 4 wickets, only fielding being a let down.

[Dr Cricket]

Saying that england batting been pathetic, in this game you probably getting what 1 or 2 session max where the ball not doing much, although saying that the first session did help the pace men but even then England survived that spell.
England should have not gave too many wickets in the first 2 session considering batting might get tricky in the last session or tomorrow.
the only bright spark for england is that the ball not turning much for Ashwin/Yadav so hard to see the ball turning until way later than expected might not even turn tomorrow, although both the spinners getting good dip and drift causing issues for the batsman.

Sky got to trouble for this in the Indian press today,
Apparently the groundsman was fuming that they were playing football in the outfield and that Michael Vaughan and the tms boys were touching the pitch. walking on it and filming it.
Do find it funny them showing the sign of no warm up or hitting up in this area please lol.

[Dr Cricket]

india -35 runs on fielding.
if india were fielding like an average team england would be 57/4.

[Dr Cricket]

4 overthrows from india.

[Dr Cricket]

not a great start from jadeja with the ball.
