England tour of India

[sussexpob]

I really dont like this field to Risbah Pant. Putting everyone on the boundary on the legside and allowing him just to knock it in front of square for singles is too easy for him. And while he has to take on the spin, there is no protection in the offside if he does play against the turn.

And Pope's position off the side of the square means any faint knicks arent carrying, and as we seen there he is still too close to take anything Pant gets a good amount of bat on.

Think he's back, but a risky run that

[Durhamfootman]

Pant is getting frustrated. England need to keep him bottled up and give him the chance to get himself out

Certainly seems to want to get himself run out atm

[Durhamfootman]

Ashwin falls. It looked an innocuous delivery really.

[sussexpob]

Thats a rubbish shot from Ashwin. He should have been able to get that through square leg, its on his pads and somehow managed to find the fielder in froont of square.

Axar and Sundar can bat, but this is a really close match

[Durhamfootman]

Washington Sundar time. I've been looking forward to watching him bat. Seems to be a talent. He's certainly made the most of his opportunity, even if it did come in unusual circumstances

[Arthur Crabtree]

Ashwin not really looking in against either bowler today.

Wonder why Ashwin comes in before him

[Durhamfootman]

reputation, probably

[Arthur Crabtree]

He has got a ton in this series.

[Durhamfootman]

he has indeed

[sussexpob]

Sundar got 85* too though

[Durhamfootman]

I wish Bess would change his shirt

[Arthur Crabtree]

Good session for England so far. Quite impressed with how they've held India back.

Problem is... England just won't score any runs in the third innings.

Poor over from Bess.
