First Test: England v India at Edgbaston, 1-5 August 2018.

[Dr Cricket]

Yeah not out.

[backfootpunch]

Doubt this will be out

He probably caught it but no way of telling if he had fingers under it or not

Yep. I think the fielder knows hes caught it, and I think its probably out, but the replay is too inconclusive to over turn. Malan is lucky, Ishant continues to bowl without reward..... great over, smokes Malan all over for 3-4 balls and produced the edge.

India too have struggled with replacement of previous lineup. The difference being at least our batters average very nicely in home conditions. England's replacements are probably averaging poorly in home conditions as well ?

I can't wait to see Kartik and Vijay batting in partnership.

[sussexpob]

Sharma v Malan round 2.....

[backfootpunch]

At least it is still swinging nicely

If we can get 200+ In front it gives us a slight chance if we can catch

We're shafted. Again. Architects of our own downfall. Again.

Groundhog day

Tbf bill Murray would likely do a better job in the slips than malan

[Durhamfootman]

assuming that I'm correct in the belief that Sharma made the team because of a perceived weakness of England's left handers in general, and Cook in particular, that Sharma can exploit, does Ashwin's lifting of England's top 3 put his place in the India side under threat?

[Arthur Crabtree]

Umesh didn't have a good first innings. And Pandya could go before Ishant too.

[backfootpunch]

Ashwin getting big turn and bounce

When Rashid takes 7/20 to win the game he will pull out a note saying yeah vaughan talk nah!

[backfootpunch]

Umesh didn't have a good first innings. And Pandya could go before Ishant too.

Jadeja in for pandya would be my change

[Durhamfootman]

Umesh didn't have a good first innings. And Pandya could go before Ishant too.

Pandya's more of an allrounder though, I think. His bowling was pretty terrible, I agree

[sussexpob]

Malan isnt going to repay his debt..... Sharma gets him finally.

Hopefully the last time we see him
