die hard doonhamer Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 A stroll in the end. 6 wickets and 6.4 overs left. Nice contribution at the end from Livingstone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyBear Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Wonder if that might make India re-think the strange tactics of scoring so slowly at the beginning of the innings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Wonder if that might make India re-think the strange tactics of scoring so slowly at the beginning of the innings.Doubt it, they are number 2 team in the world and win far more than they lose. England are the only team that could have beat the score they put up today imo. It was the lack of bowling options that cost them, they had nothing else to turn to once England started hammering the spinners all over the ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Shandrix Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Easy win in the end. Impressive batting display from England today but.... they have pissed and moaned about the umpiring since they got to India. Stokes not being given out today should put an end to it. Dreadful decision. Anyway, set up nicely for the decider. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I thought that Kohli had a really poor game as captain today, tbh. Was a bit bewildered with his choice of bowlers towards the end, when it was clear for all to see that they needed to take wickets above all else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moomintroll Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 England coming right back into this now, another wicket or 2 over the next 10 overs will leave Indias usual game plan in bits. Great to see Mo back & playing well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been consistently decent for the last 5 years in my opinion, not a massive spinner but he is capable of bowling an unexpected jaffa that will get anyone out. He is also a fairly decent bat for a number 9/10 who has batted as high as 5 in List A games for Yorkshire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 India tried a different approach of going hard early but shipped wickets, still got to 330 all out though 350 plus looked likely at one point.England 28-2 after 3 overs, Kumar getting both openers with in swingers, Roy bowled, Bairstow lbw. Malan needs to show why he is ranked so highly now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England well ahead on runs but lost those two big early wickets.Shaping up nicely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Good use of a review by India. 95-4. Buttler lbw, there were two noises which was probably why the umpire gave him not out, but the review showed it was pad-pad rather than bat-pad.Livingstone and Malan at the crease now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
