Hoping one kicks up and catches glove or something? Not like there's any help on offer otherwise.

 

[slippy888]

india will settle giving up another 50 runs before lunch if they can get england 3 wickets down

Shardulkaarrrrr

Still losing this tho

 

[Uppercut]

Now averaging under 40 for the summer. Not that he's going anywhere of course, but I'd just like to see him push on more often. The other problem is that Hameed has been totally becalmed this morning. In that sense, the wrong opener has just been dismissed.

I think you just have to hope you miss that. Perfect line and length and it's the first ball to do anything all innings.

Probably. And it will be very difficult to score from that line of attack, so it will help take an England win out of the equation.

 

[Uppercut]

Jadeja isn't even bowling into the footmarks to Hameed, he's just bowling straight from over the wicket.

Yeah, it sounds like he copped a decent delivery. And obviously his failure to push on isn't deliberate. Maybe we'll see him do this in the Ashes and score 760+ out there.

Fascinating day ahead

 

[slippy888]

It to defensive tatics we really need to be looking to take wickets

 

[harsh.ag]

Impressive stuff from Hameed. Looks assured.

Jadeja not bending his back at all, one feels.

 

[White Ball]

There seems to be some reverse swing this could be a game changer for us

His control and work on the ball are not what they used to be. Unable to create sustained pressure these days.

 

[slippy888]

Hammed not play many false shots

Ravindra "Fraud" Jadeja

 

[Uppercut]

Brave of Malan to go back for a cut out of the footmarks.

 

[slippy888]

Jadeja needs to mix it up to malan

 

[Uppercut]

Starting with a deep backward point to both batsman is interesting. Suggests that part of their morning strategy is to take the England win out of the equation and so far they're succeeding.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Oh Siraj. Dolly.

 

[grecian]

WTF was that Hameed.
