why do teams try to bounce pant? he's not rohit sharma and can play pull shots and hooks along the ground

He loses balance sometimes when its on the hips. Doesnt play it that often though so should be fine.

[Heboric]

Yes

Here you go, Smith watched this for inspiration

400 looks way off now. Pls lord shardul.

 

[Apex Predator]

Pitch definitely has quickened up. 350 will be a good score looks like.

 

[Spark]

Hmm, India have to be careful here or this could easily become a two-results-possible game and not the two results they want.

 

[Spark]

Properly bad shot too. Loose, wavy waft.

i remember saying this after pakistan declared for 450 after 2 days at the mcg in 2016 and that take didn't hit for me hehe

 

[Shri]

what a nice pull. made it look easy.

 

[Gnske]

Ashwin could unironically play at No.4 like he always dreamed.

For England

Don't think it's the pitch necessarily. Fresh bowlers + batters having to restart their innings probably explains it.

Both loose dismissals. Needed to grind out the first hour or so.

 

[Spark]

Not a red letter day for Test match batting so far...

 

[OverratedSanity]

Haha jesus this is terrible. Have they just come out with full intent mantra here thinking there's no way India can lose?

 

[Heboric]

Yep...

 

[cnerd123]

oh ffs Ashwin

320 would be nice

 

[Apex Predator]

They are probably going for an all out attack. This may be over quick. India should eye 350 min here. Pitch has quickened up by some distance

Pitch is definitely spicy enough. That first ball Rabada bowled to Ashwin was full enough for Ashwin to play forward and it would have gone over QDK's head.

I was about to say that England wouldn't get to triple figures on this, but that isn't saying much
