It was nice they gave us a nice free 40 runs to start though.Great to get up to us having made such a good start. 50 odd for none now let’s kick on. Just grabbing a coffee
wait what
I'm claiming these 3 wickets thanksBazball works ffs
tbf all the runs came against pace and have now completely dried upNo pace attack whatsoever on a pace friendly deck despite having pitiful spin stocks and having to watch Ollie Pope against Ashwin and Jadeja. The misery is in full flow.
It’s quite okay these two are continuing their partnership from our last Test V IndiaBazball crashing as expected
To be fair, he is making a comeback and can be nervous. But yes, he doesn't look confident against spin even when he is not nervous.Pope looked a complete nervous wreck. Was never going to stay long. Looked a clear catch
England don't have the spinners mate. Ashwin/Jadeja/Axar against Leach/Hartley/Rehan. Our best pace bowler in Asian conditions since Gough finally showed signs of being done last summer too.England's best chance of winning here since since forever imo. India still favourites at home like always but the way they've been playing so far + the Kohli/Pant injuries bring it closer to parity than usual. Leach was a real threat to our right handers last tour and I can see him causing problems again with no Pant/Sundar to score runs off him like last time.
Edmonds and EmbureyWhich spin pairs in history beat Ashwin-Jadeja?
He hit it, so erm, no he wasn’tRoot was out and that catch didn't look like it was taken cleanly. I guess it evened out.
