peasy23 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 England win the toss and bat and slip to 15-2 and then 30-3. Stokes and Bairstow have steadied the ship a bit but 74-3 at lunch wouldn't have been plan A. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Bairstow out lbw, he reviewed it but it stood on umpire's call, was just clipping the bails. 78-4. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moomintroll Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 England really could be doing with getting the hang of that whole batting mallarkey, ( not you, green breeks). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Foakes hasn't exactly made a convincing argument for replacing Buttler in the test side in this series. I know it's difficult batting conditions but he really had to be a stand out to have any chance of becoming a regular behind the stumps 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 No early breakthrough for England thus far, Anderson bowling phenomenally well though.10 overs, 8 maidens, 1 wicket for 3 runs. Superb stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Leach gets Pujara lbw, 40-2. That's the 4th time Leach has got him out in this series. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Stokes gets one to kick up off the pitch which Kohli goes chasing and nicks it to Foakes, out for a big fat 0. India 41-3 and the home side under pressure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Collectively England have bowled 14 maidens, with 150 dot balls from 29 overs. One of their most consistent spells I've seen for years, hardly any loose deliveries 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Anderson gets Rahane to edge one and Stokes takes an excellent diving catch at 2nd slip. 80-4 at lunch and definitely game on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Just as India seemed to be getting on top Stokes gets Rohit Sharma lbw. The commentators will be seething as it was umpire's call on two counts, with the impact just on the very edge of the stumps and the ball just clipping the bails. Only downside for England at the moment is Bess's bowling, nowhere near good enough for this level.121-5, 84 runs behind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 India 52 runs behind at tea with 6 wickets down. Crucially Pant is still at the crease. You'd probably fancy India to have a small first innings lead. If England can keep the lead under 40 it should still be interesting. What a difference having a Ben Stokes that is able to bowl if not at, then very close to his full ability. The spells he and Anderson had this morning were bordering on unplayable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorge Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) Pant gonna Pant! Wonderful stuff, another half hour of this and India almost out of sight. ETA: oops #jinx Edited March 5, 2021 by Scorge 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Pant gonna Pant! Wonderful stuff, another half hour of this and India almost out of sight. ETA: oops #jinxCan't help but feel this test is already as good as done in terms of the result. England would have to get close to 400 in their second innings to have a chance. No chance that's happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyBear Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Pant was very lucky with the lbw shout. Very surprised the onfield umpire gave it not out - it just looked plumb. Saved by umpires call on review. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
