What has happened to India this dual tour? 4 losses and a NR

[Durhamfootman]

not playing on a billiard table?

[Durhamfootman]

Shreyas salvages 158 for India

some good numbers for the bowlers apart from Rashid who took a bit of tap. 2-20 for Archer, the pick of the bunch

[Arthur Crabtree]

Odd Rehan doesn't get a bowl, but Jacks gets 4.

[Durhamfootman]

well, it's working for England who are on course to give India yet another thrashing

[Arthur Crabtree]

Another bad day/night for Buttler.

[Durhamfootman]

busted flush?

not even 14 overs needed to knock off the runs and it took a mammoth effort from Shreyas to even post 158

Questions for India to answer

[Arthur Crabtree]

Buttler has made a start, but not scoring quickly.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Seems to have accelerated impressively though to a ton. Well done JB2.

[Durhamfootman]

an hour later he has 108 off 55 balls and still going

If Buttler and Brook stay in, England could be on for 250

[Arthur Crabtree]

Two wickets and 22 runs off the 18th over, without wides or nbs!

Huge score. England's third highest and best v India.

Maybe not used to the heat.

[Durhamfootman]

India are not even trying to chase it really. They need 18 or 19 an over for the last 7 overs

I understand that they dropped both Buttler and Brook several times. Shockingly bad fielding has often been a feature of the IPL and they seem to have brought it on tour, which is not ideal

Good to see Jos getting a big un.... Hopefully life in the old dog yet
