Yeah umpires call relating to impact is truly nonsense. If the ball is in even 20% thats out! Only hitting the stumps you can give the benefit of the doubt and have it to be more than clipping.

Walloped by over 300 runs despite below par batting by Indian top order. A real mauling.

avoid defeat? lol

we are the favourites.

England lucked out on the first test playing in the most benign of surfaces where India couldn't even field Axar. The next three innings have been mediocre and a reflection of England's true ability. That 500 odd was the outlier.

Even if the pitch aids seam (which it might but certainly not to the degree people imagine) England are hardly good against seam and with Bumrah, Ishant and Siraj I don't see them scoring much here. And don't be fooled by Anderson's two wickets on a wearing 5th day pitch. He is still a very very mediocre bowler outside England even in other pace friendly nations like Australia etc. In fact Bumrah (who has two less away 5 for compared to Anderson) in like 10-20% of the matches is far superior. Just compare their efforts in the respective first innings.

India have the better batsmen, better spinners, better pacers. England lucked out due to an unfair toss based pitch, selection/injury issues and India getting no practice after a historic high down under.

This match is what the two sides are on true potential. 3-1 India. English fans can support us during the WTC final in England.
