Yeah, do a Jadeja. He took the game from us yesterday with his unorthodox innings, someone should do the same for us with Root aiming to be 120* at the end.

It probably hurts more that the wicket fell to ishant F sharma

Credit where it is due, he has bowled very well in this innings and looked the biggest threat.It probably hurts more that the wicket fell to ishant F sharma

Honestly I was expecting the double bluff. 5 short balls to Root, short ball field, last ball before lunch...perfect situation for a double bluff. Moeen would be on the backfoot pre-emptively, and Ishant gets the ball up at a good length angling away, possibly hit top of off/the pads/get the edge.
Seems like Moeen was expecting that too, but Ishant actually bowled short.
England's tail is honestly more of a worry than their top order; and with only 146 runs to go a quickfire 50-60 runs like Bhuvi and Jadeja put on yesterday can really change things.
They've got nothing to lose at this point, more likely to be bowled out defending seeing the rhythm Ishant is in and how good Bhuvi is with the new ball.

That innings looks slow by Haddins standards. Johnson doing what Burgey was talking about.
There is no justification for picking him without a 2nd innings contribution here.

Those who cannot buy a run are the ones the Indians are usually most afraid of.

That's a single bluff. Why do people call this a double bluff.

England should drop Prior if he fails, but they won't.
None of the seniors will be dropped. They talk about rotating fast bowlers too; but you can bet on Broad and Anderson playing every Test unless they pull up injured on the morning of the match.
I really wonder if, win or lose, England will bring in Jordan next test and rest one of Plunkett/Stokes. Kerrigan is in the squad too, so I wonder if he will get a game. Ali's been bowling not too badly.

Apologies. Should proof read more before I post.
