England (387 & 192) defeat India (387 & 170) by 22 runs to take 2-1 lead in the 5-match Test series

[harshjoshi87]

Ben Stokes asked for this third class pitch at Lord's, good the English bowling attack got to bowl nearly 120 overs in blistering heat. India are used to such hot conditions, 2 exciting days remain in this test.

 

[Sachin fan]

They did the same when root was one short of hundred. Left him high and dry

The umpires have lost all control with both teams doing whatever they want. It's ridiculous, never seen umpires so helpless and allowing so much time wasting by both sides. I remember when previously injuries used to happen umpires would tell players to either retire hurt or resume their innings.

75 overs per day because of delays is ridiculous.

 

[Ahmed216]

Rishabh Pant is the master of all theatrics and antics. I remember in T20 Final, Klassen was smashing Axar for fun then came the antics from Pant which sucked the momentum out of the game.

In this game also, he faked an injury on his thumb and left the field and came out to bat in his normal position after a good rest off the field.
I don't know how this is allowed.

Lest see how bazballers play today , if they want to win then they have to play bazball cricket and score 350 today then challenge india on fith day

Will be difficult to compete with them on a crumbling wicket though.

We can’t chase anything over 200

Siraj is started with wayward Line and length

Zak crawley should be kicked out. He is so mediocre. He averages 30 in test cricket probably the worst specialist batsman in test cricket.

 

[Sarmad]

Gents
Why didnt we had an early start today? We already lost more than 35 overs which is more than a session

 

[Ab Fan]

India need couple of wickets else England will start Bazballing soon.

 

[mominsaigol]

England should try to tonk 800

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Useless aggression from Siraj there.

 

[Devadwal]

One tulla gone.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Siraj has the 1st one..

 

[Ab Fan]

All hail Mohammad Siraj, potentially the greatest Muslim bowler of this millennium after Mohammad Shami and Zaheer Khan.

He tried that in 2018, got slapped 4-1.

Tried in 2021 too, slapped them 2-2 across their faces and then humiliated them at home too.

 

[Devadwal]

Lucky escape for tullebaaz.

 

[mominsaigol]

Bumrah being garbage in the 4th innings being exposed again

 

[BouncerGuy]

Lucky escape for tullebaaz.

So pope is also tulleybaaz....LOL... BROOOO

 

[Markhor]

Lol this is like the uneven bounce you see in the Caribbean. Barbados 97 vibe.

 

[Devadwal]

Hahahaha blind Swing by tullebaaz

 

[Markhor]

Useless aggression from Siraj there.

Never understand these send offs. You take the wicket, no need to get into a batsman's face.

Should batsmen get into the face of a bowler after reaching 50 or 100 ?

 

[BouncerGuy]

TALK ABOUT GAME HERE

 

[Devadwal]

So pope is also tulleybaaz....LOL... BROOOO

England team is full of tullebaaz players apart from 2-3 players

 

[Devadwal]

Siraj control the emotions and focus on your bowling

That was unnecessary from Siraj. Some of them behave like gully kids.

Cheteshwar Pujara
Former India batter on BBC Test Match Special

I was doing a pitch report today and there were a lot of dents. There is a major difference from the pitch compared to yesterday especially from Nursery End. It's becoming dangerous as a batter. Every second ball is jumping off from good length and there is nothing much you can do as a batter.
Nasseer on the other hand thought still a reasonably decent surface in his pitch report .
ENG would be very happy getting 270 today imo .
36/1

You forgot your KP emoji

 

[Ahmed216]

Siraj is another one who behaves like he's playing village cricket

 

[mominsaigol]

Crawley amd root scoring a century would damage indians so much more.

I honestly just watch these games to torment Indians. Idc who wins or loses otherwise.

Bumrah being garbage in the 4th innings being exposed again

This is the 3 rd innings, you never fail to amuse me

It was just a send off. Plenty of bowlers have done it in the past.

It was from india bowler's so some people's are crying about it . Very predictable

 

[Human786]

32 overs bowled short across first 3 days might be the difference between result & a draw .
Since Jadeja on this tour is primarily playing as a Batting all-rounder , would have made sense to have 4 pure bowlers besides him . Hope Sundar can pick a few wickets today to justify his selection .
38/1 .

 

[mominsaigol]

This is the 3 rd innings, you never fail to amuse me

You know what I meant aka the 2nd time when someone comes onto bowl.

 

[mominsaigol]

All i care about os Crawley scoring a century, Brooks scoring a century and Root scoring a century because

A) I love root
B) I love Brooks
C) Crawley is a nepo baby but I want him to torment india

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

You know what I meant aka the 2nd time when someone comes onto bowl.

I knew you would come up with this, so was prepared for it.

Bumrah averages 19.68 in third and fourth innings

Bumrah averages 19.68 in third and fourth innings

Who cares what he averages, just look at how he bowled vs England in the 1st test and how he is bowling now.

Live in the present, not the past.

 

[Human786]

OUT

 

[Ab Fan]

All hail Mohammad Siraj!

 

[BouncerGuy]

POPE was never looking comfortable... Siraj has done it again...

 

[mominsaigol]

Siraj is a better bowlers then Bumrah in the 3rd innings

 

[OldWarHorse]

Should have studied Akashdeep on how to bat here. Another pretender

 

[saimayubera]

Siraj - best Muslim fast bowler in the world

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

What was the reason behind Umpire calling it not out? There wasn’t any doubt on this one.

 

[mominsaigol]

I knew you would come up with this, so was prepared for it.

Bumrah averages 19.68 in third and fourth innings

Would you like me to give you my Unbiased bowlers top 25 in test as well?

You clearly liked my batter list lol. One of the few times you haven't been irritating

Nah, id rather not be an idiot.

143

143

140
bumrah 5th over

these would be brilliant if shaheen and naseem could do it in odi let alone tests.

siraj 137 to 143 as well

 

[mominsaigol]

Nah, id rather not be an idiot.

Living in the past means you're Albert Einstein

get Root early & we might see a under 240 score .

bumrah is horrendous with new ball. he is elite with older and semi old ball. weird for a fast bowling great

it should be the other way around. if pitch seams too much i have noticed many times bumrah cant control the swing in opening spells. he is far better with semi old or older ball and especially when there is reverse.

he should work on this tbh. can be even more deadly.

 

[Devadwal]

get Root early & we might see a under 240 score .

Problem is that Bumrah is already ended his 1st spell.

 

[Romali_rotti]

If they get Root, it's game on...

 

[kron]

3 things i want to see in the future

1) rahul to be punished unless he issues public apology for ruining india's chances to take a 50 plus lead.
2) bumrah should come in first change, he cant control his radar with the new ball. far better with semi older and older ball.
cummins is doing it too.
3) akashdeep should open the bowling

 

[kron]

Crawley amd root scoring a century would damage indians so much more.

I honestly just watch these games to torment Indians. Idc who wins or loses otherwise.

same for me. dont care for win or loss tbh
i just want to see blood. spool of blood. players getting broken bones, fingers, helmets hit etc and concussions.


want to see boom and siraj hurt the english batters. dont care for wickets.

much more fun when there is blood.

 

[Human786]

Anyone thinks Stokes would take 270 all out if offered at end of 80 overs today ?
48/2

 

[kron]

one good thing is no kolhi or unfit rohit to ruin india's chances for a chase.

pant is hurt though. jaiswal needs a tight power slap in the face if he doesnt stand up

 

[mominsaigol]

If they get Root, it's game on...

Why? You are forgetting about Jamie Smith. I am sick of this downplay.

 

[kron]

bumrah second innings performances with new ball is trash.
now takes himself out.

Why? You are forgetting about Jamie Smith. I am sick of this downplay.

Why? You are forgetting about Jamie Smith. I am sick of this downplay.

and you are forgetting world number 1 brook
he isnt there just to watch the game. he is there to smash teams. there is a reason why rankings are so important. there is a reason why he is world number 1

 

[kron]

root is the best english bat by far. not one player from india is close to his level since sachin retired

 

[Human786]

50/3

 

[Devadwal]

3rd tullebaaz gone .

 

[kron]

need to understand the point of picking this useless tulla trash nitish reddy
absolutely useless player
trundler 125 to 130 bowler
and cant bat to save his life.

 

[Ab Fan]

All hail Nitish Reddy!

 

[OldWarHorse]

That's a gift. Will take that

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

England are going to lose this.

 

[kron]

and just when i say this he gets a fluke wicket.
this is not good.

india will regret picking nitish if they do.

 

[mominsaigol]

jamie smith is better than gilly th

Dont worry bro, I dont troll you, only troll the trolls

 

[Ab Fan]

Root and Brooks in. England and Pakistan hoping for a miracle from them.

 

[kron]

dont forget we need to face archers 140 to 150 for the first 7 overs

once he gets tired we can smash him though.
carse is good too. so need to survive vs them

 

[Human786]

Anyone thinks Stokes would take 270 all out if offered at end of 80 overs today ?
48/2

now he certainly would !
51/3
