Thats rubbish from Rahane really

That's one of the worst shots iv ever seen

Like he was trying to get out

[sussexpob]

India just havent looked comfortable with this moving ball at all. 300 looking a mile off now, if this partnership doesnt stick then I can see England batting not long after tea

He played at a lot of balls he had no business playing at.

The tail always wags against England when we get early wickets 150-7 to 275 all out wouldn't surprise me one bit

[sussexpob]

Kohli trying his best to give Root a bit of revenge there

[Dr Cricket]

Looked comfortable against the rest, stokes troubled rahane a lot in that innings.

Same amount of movement but different angle and extra yard of pace

[Dr Cricket]

Day getting worse and worse.

[sussexpob]

Looked comfortable against the rest, stokes troubled rahane a lot in that innings.

It was the prodigious movement Stokes was getting. By the wicket ball, Rahane hasnt a clue where the ball was going, just throwing his hands out. By memory Rahane had a good tour in England a few years back, he can play in these conditions, but he looked terrible then.

The option not to pick Pujara seems increasing madness, although he's bang out of form, Id still trust quality over form.


Karthik goes...

[sussexpob]

England arent letting up here. This is sensational stuff

[budgetmeansbudget]

Yep best they've bowled in a long time.

Anderson has bowled well fand long or no wicket.

[sussexpob]

Pandaya edges first ball.... short of the fielder....

If I was Cook id be tempted to go put on some pads

[budgetmeansbudget]

Clipping leg stump?

[Dr Cricket]

This is litterally my nightmare.

[sussexpob]

Id have bet my mortgage on that being out.
