Lol what leg bye? Kohli got runs after ages and he cops that from the umpire.

Deserves it for going on like a prick this series

 

[Spark]

England shouldve reviewed it

i think you have to actually appeal first. but yeah if that was truly leg byes then it would have also been plumb lbw

 

[OverratedSanity]

Rahane playing spin like a 90s english player. Stop cutting like that ffs.

 

[h_hurricane]

Kohli should review those leg byes tbh

 

[honestbharani]

Waiting for the umpire to signal legbyes for that cover drive.

 

[karan_fromthestands]

Oh yes, come to think of what Swann and Panesar would have done to our batting if they were bowling on this turf.

I always rated Panesar very highly, some of these guys who bowled quicker through the air could do so well if given a chance in Asian conditions. Most Asian batsmen are good at dealing with flight, dip and

Ben Foakes is a monster wicketkeeper, the best around. This pitch is very difficult to bat on now. England have no chance of winning from here but still an interesting battle

You never know!
Root and Stokes are capable of surprising the Indian bowlers.

 

[honestbharani]

Rahane looking worse than a tailender again at the start. Set Rahane is so awesome but there is just so many chances we never get to see that very often these days. I hope he figures out his test match tempo and game and stops with this IPL nonsense. He is not cut out for it.

 

[Jack1]

Leach 55.7 average vs left handers in tests
24.7 vs right handers

that is a huge disparity would have been even bigger before pant wicket. Very poor average vs left handers

 

[Spark]

Rahane batting as if he's still in Australia here. Put that shot away ffs.

 

[honestbharani]

What is it with Rahane being gifted full tosses early in the innings by the offies?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Rahane playing spin like a 90s english player. Stop cutting like that ffs.

And again. Just wait for the full toss.

 

[Jack1]

Moeen bowling freebies. Root might want to give
himself a bowl for a few overs from that end

 

[honestbharani]

And again. Just wait for the full toss.

He is just premeditating at this point. The ball before, he went down the track. So he expected the short one but was already on the back foot and premeditated the cut shot. Its stupid.

 

[karan_fromthestands]

What Mo will tell Kohli if he gets him again:

"Do you know who I am? I'm Mo Green! I made my bones when you were going out with cheerleaders!"

 

[silentstriker]

Lol the ball landed on the adjacent pitch and just roared off. Play the third test on there!

 

[OverratedSanity]

Lmao 90s English standard batting from Rahane and 90s India standard fielding from England.

 

[honestbharani]

Why the **** is Broad off the field here? He can be useful if he can get it to reverse at the stumps.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Well that was a painful stay

 

[Anil]

will india get bowled out for <100?

 

[Jack1]

Why the **** is Broad off the field here? He can be useful if he can get it to reverse at the stumps.

It’s a spinners paradise he won’t be bowling. He shouldn’t be off field though unless injured or ill
