*Official* England in India 2023/24 #CryMoreTour

[Aidan11]

Has Bairstow got a big score in him today?

 

[R!TTER]

if you remove his hat he can no longer be called Pope

I believe it's called Mitre?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Game over

 

[GIMH]

Feel like we need one partnership to really be in the box seat

 

[slowfinger]

if England can't get to 200 then the game will be over

 

[ataraxia]

idk how this wasnt given out at 1st

It was exceptionally close to pitching outside leg.

 

[White Ball]

Great bowling Ashwin! Anyone’s game at the monent

England need to eke out 200. 250 will be a strong chase. Just needs a couple of partnerships and one guy going reasonably big.

 

[Pothas]

It really looked like being that one as well, Root had looked so comfortable.

Just a brilliant game this.

 

[Shri]

thought it pitched outside leg live

 

[Aidan11]

I

It was exceptionally close to pitching outside leg.

It was indeed. I thought that would save him at first.

 

[King Kane]

Now would be a good time for Bairstow to find some form, he looked like he started to find it in the first innings before he lost it again.

 

[Aidan11]

Crawley still scoring runs among the chaos but I'm always concerned he's just one ball away from making an error.

 

[Aidan11]

Good shot Jonny.

Millimetres in it I think

He actually hasn't looked that bad all series.

Yeah I thought it pitched outside leg too, it definitely pitched a lot more outside than inside, Root could consider himself a little hard done by there

 

[morgieb]

Is Root unlucky or not? OTOH, it was millimetres from being umpire's call or even outside leg. On the other, there's a fair argument that the MoE for umpire's call is pretty batter-friendly as it is.

 

[OverratedSanity]

These two are really dangerous in a scenario like this. A quick 50-60 will basically kill the game.

 

[Aidan11]

Why doesn't Bairstow have a bat sponsor?
