The ships cordon is entirely decorative in this test.

 

[Burgey]

Required run rate already escalating dramatically. IMO they need to really throw wood here and go hard

 

[GotSpin]

Rohit looks in good form here

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Ooh, Rohit's last stand has had a shaky start. On his last legs but still standing..

 

[TimAngas]

He's only bowled a few balls

Pretty spritely pace at 142km/h for his eighth ball given the suggestion he was completely cooked yesterday, and no sign of discomfort.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

that appeal

 

[vicleggie]

Even Starc finds Marnus annoying

Plenty of time sir, wickets not run rate will be the issue with these lads

 

[Qlder]

Jaiswal not good enough to get a nick lol

 

[Son Of Coco]

Keep driving Jaiswal.


But ****ing nick one soon hey?

 

[Johan]

Yashasvi is getting cooked.

Bumrah next in to tee off?

 

[vicleggie]

If Rohit makes a 100 and India don't lose, I'll forgive him for everything

If Aus wanted India to chase these runs, they should've showed some balls and declared earlier. 340 was already too high for India to have a dip

 

[TimAngas]

My main fear is that these two are stroke-makers enough to exploit Cummins preponderance to go to negative field settings when faced with attacking batters but so far this has been a tight ship. Still early but shades of the way we looked energised during the OD WC final.

Nah make them bat for survival.

 

[Spark]

Not seeing a lot off the pitch so far

 

[halba]

current run rate: 0.88. Req run rate, approx around 3.88. Obviously, they will look to get the runs once the ball gets old.

 

[stephen]

Jaiswal not good enough to nick one.

 

[TimAngas]

Jaiswal being cut in half now.
