Where's the short leg?

Attack them Bumrah

 

[Shri]

should bring siraj to bairstow and make him bowl the 3/4 seam ball that cuts in sharp

 

[StephenZA]

Eng are aware the rules for no balls in LO is different to Test cricket?

Bairstow in now. 100 in 50 balls

Fastest hundred in danger. You are being too conservative.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Bairstow in now. 100 in 50 balls

Weak SR, imo

 

[Member Berry]

going from the quiet, conversational tones of Atherton and Sanga to Shastri blasting in like the kool-aid man is so jarring

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Jonny looks pissed

 

[CricAddict]

Bairstow in now. 100 in 50 balls

98 more required in 41 balls.

 

[GIMH]

Not fair this, basically rigged to enable Bumrah to keep bowling

 

[honestbharani]

Bairstow in now. 100 in 50 balls

A so e 100 then?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

How long is this one gonna last?

? pope

Hard to know which was worse. Crawley's injudicious waft to a harmless ball on sixth stump or Pope's to a harmless ball on eighth?

 

[White Ball]

These rain breaks probably favour india as it’s harder for batting side to readjust for short bursts.

Almost end of day 2 and with so much rain I can’t time England out yet but much more delays and an England win will become unlikely. Bazball (slogging when a few wickets down) won’t work every time and I am not sure it will work against Bumrah

 

[Anil]

Well done India so far! Our captain and vice captain putting on a show! They need to get this pair and Stokes quickly though…

 

[Aritro]

How long is this one gonna last?

England will make a first innings score of 350.

So about three and a half days.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Playing backyard cricket with my 5 year old during the rain break. I was India, he was each England batsman in turn. When he came to be Stokes he gave me a big grin, walked forward and took guard half way down the pitch.

#Bazball.

 

[Furball]

Does anyone who can filter Cricinfo stats well find out which teams are least effective at bowling sides out after the sixth wicket falls in the last five years, say? Obviously I'd think England would be on the worst end of the spectrum but could just be because I watch them bowl utter filth to tailenders so often.

Sky put up a graphic which showed England were the worst at bowling out 8-11.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Bumrah's been bowling all day...
I woke up this morning and he was bowling...and now it's just past 1pm here and this dude's still bowling.

That's how we end the #batriarchy

 

[Aritro]

Surely give him another wide one with the length pulled back.
