India tour of Eng, June 20 - Aug 4

Might be worth turning to root for an over or two....2 left handers 67 over old ball ..slow pitch...might be worth a go

[andy]

Been impressed with Dawson though he has been impressive and nearly got pant last over...who knew picking an experienced spinner was the way to go

[sussexpob]

Pant is retiring hurt. Copped a big blow on the foot, and is going off

Serves him right for the *modded* he was attempting to play.....reckon that's a broken foot

Refer to my previous comment about English objectivity. Zak Crawley or Duckett play these shots and they are great, Pant does it and they linger on how reckless and random it is.

Sai Sudharsan makes a 50

[Arthur Crabtree]

Typo!

Got a bit muddled earlier. England's over rate is awful. The fine hasn't made any difference.

Wonder if they'll keep Dawson on until stumps to get the rate up.

BBC commentators think Pant is a freewheeling genius. OK, they're arguably patronising, but they certainly don't have a downer on him.

Put Joe Root on.... Not much of a confidence boost to his spinner

[sussexpob]

Stokes strikes again.... Sai will be annoyed with himself, a bad shot to get out to

those comments are mostly aimed at his driving

Thakur coming in? Bizarre choice

Put Joe Root on.... :hmmm Not much of a confidence boost to his spinner

Root and Dawson bowling with the new ball due. Must be the light.

[Arthur Crabtree]

But if England are bowling a part timer rather than getting 45m with the new ball, then they are paying for their laggardly over rate.

[sussexpob]

Fractured foot confirmed for Pant. Unlikely to feature again in this game at all.... huge blow for India
