[Rajdeep]

Another wicket coming in next 30 balls

Hahahahaha....Lord Rajdeep speaks

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Wow raj is on a roll here

 

[Rajdeep]

Harry is here to up the scoring. The poor Indians will be jogging up and down Lords all afternoon now.

Another humiliation for our Khan Chacha

 

[Ahmed216]

Brilliant from Bumrah

Great comeback

 

[OldWarHorse]

Big one

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Another wicket coming in next 30 balls

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT
Brook gone , India now on rise here , England ship showing cracks.

 

[RamLakhan]

Pakistanis now switch to "Conspiracy/Blame" mode! Till now they were on "Virtual-Team Supporter" mode!

 

[Mockingbird]

What a beauty!

 

[Rajdeep]

Chucking allegation wale...aa jao

@IMMY69 must lead

 

[Justcrazy]

This will be crucial partnership , if India get this quick , Poms will be all out today.

 

[Rajdeep]

Harry Brook - aur mat khelo IPL

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Harry Brook - aur mat khelo IPL

 

[RamLakhan]

If Root gets out soon, they are done! With 350+ in first innings, they can compete and fight (though they don't have spinners)

 

[mominsaigol]

When Jadeja gets a wicket but Bumrah does not.

@Devadwal Nooooo, how on earth will i carry forward my Bumrah > Marshall Agenda

Yas @Devadwal Bumrah got Brooks, now I can carry my agenda

 

[KingKhanWC]

Jadeja is a liability for India but the luck is falling their way

But root stays in 450+ still on

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Look at the first 10 overs

Lol, what a reply.
Just admit that you were wrong. They have scored at 3 here and were scoring at 4.6 at leeds. Be a man

 

[Ahmed216]

Huge reverse for Bumrah. England have their work cut out

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Liability has scored more runs than Root and got Popes wicket today.

Never stop punching bro

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Prasidhs absence has helped here, we haven’t allowed Eng to take control of the game.

[Bhaijaan]

England are so scared of losing

Joe Root and Ben Stokes chickened out after all the we will chase everything we wanna play entertaining cricket facade lol

Root always plays like this .

His sr is 51 in test

 

[RidiculousMan]

Where's BazBall?

 

[Devadwal]

India needs two more wickets before EOD.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Root always plays like this .

His sr is 51 in test

Check Big Joe SR during Bazball era

 

[Devadwal]

Where's BazBall?

Already died in the last test match

 

[mominsaigol]

That was 2 to 3 series only. He didnt even bazzball vs Pakistan on a road

Check Big Joe SR during Bazball era

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Root always plays like this .

His sr is 51 in test

Its 57.4,

The confidence with which you embarrass yourself is astounding.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Check Big Joe SR during Bazball era

Even his career str rate is 57.44. Thats more than all the other fab 4 players.

 

[KingKhanWC]

I dont see any reason why Washington was selected for this tour, looks bang average.

Btw why is his name Washington, strange for an Indian?

 

[jnaveen1980]

He already won a test for India in Australia more than anyone else from Asia. pLayed a part in Perth win, Gabba win, Edgbaston win.

 

[mominsaigol]

My bad, didnt check that stat. Regardless idc, you can keep laughing at small pointers. Everyone knows I'm the top 5 best on thos forumn.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Aaj bazball gaya tel lene

 

[Bhaijaan]

If this ugly, unattractive, defensive way is how Joe Root is gonna bat his way on ultra flat pitches to break Sachin’s record then he can have it but no one will regard him anywhere near Sachin that way.

I’m saying this for the first time now but it would be a travesty if such a batter were to have the record.

There have been at least 30 better test batters in the history of Cricket.

Sachin even at 40 years was a better looking batsman than this.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Since the beginning of the Bazball era what’s the minimum England has scored in a day?

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

I dont see any reason why Washington was selected for this tour, looks bang average.

Btw why is his name Washington, strange for an Indian?

Side effects of British Raj.

Here comes my Beta Indian Copy

 

[Markhor]

Old school Test cricket today.

Some seam up front, bit of swing when lacquer wore off, and even a little spin along with some skilful bowling has produced a more even contest between bat and ball than first two Tests.

England will want min 350 from here.

Maybe this is why some fans don't hold Bumrah in the same regard as bowlers like Wasim and Waqar?

30 better test batters?

Root avg > 40 in every country except aus and Bangladesh . Has been avg 54 since his resurgence, scored 19 centuries in 4 years which is one of the fastest ever in that time frame?

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Wont be able to bowl with new cherry today.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Bumrah is a GOAT.

Wasim and him have very different styles , but I feel like McGrath , bumrah is more effective and hence a better bowler.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Attacking shot percentage by England is the lowest it has been in the Bazball era.

 

[RexRex]

Boooring England

 

[mominsaigol]

I wonder what mamoon will say if stokes hits a century

 

[JibranAnsari]

After his first 50 test matches , Botham was the greatest all rounder of all times. 10 test hundreds and 230 test wickets at 22 apiece.

 

[Aqib_mustafa]

He already won a test for India in Australia more than anyone else from Asia. pLayed a part in Perth win, Gabba win, Edgbaston win.

Bro no need to get defensive just can't stop why india is playing 2 spinners in england this is not india or pakistan where you need spinners and even in india nz whitewashed india so no more spin tracks in india i would play fast bowlers even in india from now on.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

No luck for India. That Umpire's call going England's way.

Such small margins will swing this match big time on this pitch.

 

[jnaveen1980]

He is a better batsman than most of the top order batsman from some other countrie.s His batting alone played a big part in winning two overseas tests.

 

[sweep_shot]

England - 219/4 (71 overs).

Root is on 76*.

 

[Ahmed216]

Absolutel class from Root.

Nitish's slow pace helped but still was a magical on-drive

 

[KingKhanWC]

18 to go, these two stay in adding another 50 odd and England in pole for day 2.

 

[JibranAnsari]

England will probably lose 3 more before the day ends

 

[JibranAnsari]

Imagine the level of confidence in the team when so many players performed very well in the last match.

 

[Justcrazy]

India bowling tight here , runs have dried up , India want Poms to get frustrated here and play a rash shot.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Indians: please sar why no score fast?

 

[Justcrazy]

FOUR

Root hammers that , to break the shackles.

 

[Ahmed216]

Last two balls from Jadeja. One went chest height to keeper. Other knee height from the same length

 

[Aqib_mustafa]

Pitch is spinning here

 

[mominsaigol]

Stokes has terrible fitness ngl

 

[Justcrazy]

England has shut the shop it looks like, India will be looking to get one more here

 

[Ahmed216]

India needed better spinners on this pitch than these two darters

 

[Justcrazy]

India takes new ball , Akashdeep in the attack , a challenge for England here

 

[OldWarHorse]

Bugs have taken over

 

[mominsaigol]

Jasprit Bumrah being attacked by flies. Good, kato iss ko

 

[Justcrazy]

India to be honest has not leaked away too many runs , they have kept things under control

 

[sweep_shot]

England - 245/4.

Go, England.

 

[sweep_shot]

Root is on 95*.

He is very close to surpassing Dravid and Kallis.

 

[Bhaijaan]

These English pitches have been so dead.

Harsh to expect too much from
Pacers.

Just look at how bad it’s been for England. Woakes is generally a star in England and he’s averaging 80+ this series so far.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Ben Stokes 39* (100)

We will play aggressive always

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

What's up with all the bugs on the ground?
