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

[Rajdeep]

What a ball...what a bowler.

I feel so sad when jealousy takes over logic for certain fans.

 

[mominsaigol]

USELESS STOKESS...

@mominsaigol

Bring in Bethall

 

[mominsaigol]

What a ball...what a bowler.

Yes congratulations, he bowled a has been player who has been avg 20 this tour

 

[Bhaijaan]

By Gawd What a ball by GOAT Bumrah to get Stoksey out!!!

The legend delivers

 

[Rajdeep]

@Rajdeep are you going to the match? Very warm weather even up North, must be roasting in Lords. India could really cook English out here if they get to bat today.

No brother...mostly I go for the last test played in Oval. So will attend this time as well

 

[Human786]

No matter how much Indians hide but they are shivering in boots that Bazball is on pause at the moment. Just realized Pope and Stokes aren't meant for Bazball stuff. Same for root. Just leave that stuff to Jamie, Brook and Crawleys....

appreciation from the 2 most esteemed posters , what more could a Super Mod want .
another wicket before 280 would be nice , Jamie's nicer .

 

[Rajdeep]

Root would have been out first ball as well in 99 if there was a gully

 

[Rajdeep]

@jamie smith fan is England's most feared batsman. Root can play as long as he wants but no one cares

 

[DeadlyVenom]

screw these fielders man. they have let down their team big time

 

[mominsaigol]

If root scores 264 he will surpass Ponting and be no 2 test scorer of all time

 

[Bhaijaan]

Rahul drops Jamie Smith at 2nd slip.

The old India is back

 

[mominsaigol]

Just play out the new ball rooty, get to 264

 

[Bhaijaan]

screw these fielders man. they have let down their team big time

Play bold cricket.
Like Pakistanis of 90s

 

[KingKhanWC]

Indians are terrible catchers lol

 

[Devadwal]

Drooped by KL . Rahul what have you done . Bumrah removed stokes and here chance to remove Smith also .

 

[Rajdeep]

Siraj to Root in Hyderabadi accent - 'You are taking so much time bro'

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Play bold cricket.
Like Pakistanis of 90s

India is more bold

 

[Devadwal]

This would have dream start of day 2 if KL have taken that catch.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Feel so bad for Siraj.

Putting in all that effort and being let down by these Youthias

 

[Human786]

OUT Boom uproots

 

[OldWarHorse]

Dropped the match. This kid is a juggernaut

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Bumrah on fire.

Who needs fielders? Root cleaned up.

Champion effort this morning.

 

[mominsaigol]

Ah their goes rooty. Good innings though

 

[AAli98]

Bumra back to selective chucking again today

 

[Rajdeep]

What a legend....keep hating guys

11th time bunny

 

[Bhaijaan]

Jasprit Bumrah bowls Stokes & Root with a peach today

He is the greatest fast bowler of this generation.

One of the greatest ever pacers legit.

@DeadlyVenom @Mamoon @mominsaigol @BouncerGuy

Show respect where due.

 

[Devadwal]

Wow GOAT Bumrah , Idiots Rahul runied the day by dropping Smith otherwise we can bundled them around 300

 

[DeadlyVenom]

this is out review karo jaldi

He is a great bowler lol.

I just find it funny when people put him > Mcgrath thats all

 

[Rajdeep]

I am still cussing that drop catch. Jamie Smith's wicket would have been key here

i rate him bro

but picking and chosing when to play is a blackmark.

however no great has a spotless record so we cant hold it against him too much. everyone has some flaw somewhere, we are all human beings.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Taking DRS for caught behind.

Bumrah on fire bro

 

[Human786]

Rishabh Pant is still recovering from the hit on his left index finger. The BCCI medical team continues to monitor his progress. Dhruv Jurel will continue to keep wickets on Day 2.

I guess Pant will bat at 7 .
271/7

 

[OldWarHorse]

Bumrah the phenom

 

[Rajdeep]

Another one for legend....keep hating guys

 

[Bhaijaan]

There is an edge on the ultra edge,

Bumrah gets another. Gets 2 in 2.

Bumrah on a hattrick.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Bottled it lol

, top class bowling from Bumrah

 

[Bhaijaan]

2 weeks of rest was worth it.

 

[Human786]

no Hattrick

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Bumrah turned this game on its head.

Good day to be one of the Bumboyz

 

[Bhaijaan]

Bumrah is eager to get his name on the honours board of Lord's

This is still a flat pitch

 

[Devadwal]

GOAT haters are hiding in a corner , 4th wickets for him

 

[Ball Blazer]

The 11th time Bumrah has dismissed Root in Tests - the joint-most with Pat Cummins

 

[aboveandbeyond]

300 is a good score here. The seamers are getting alot of seam movement.

 

[Rajdeep]

Greatest fast bowler in present era and one of the best of all time. Anyone says otherwise are either jealous or no idea in cricket.

 

[aboveandbeyond]

The 11th time Bumrah has dismissed Root in Tests - the joint-most with Pat Cummins

But Root also has alot of hundreds against india

 

[Sachin fan]

He is a great bowler lol.

I just find it funny when people put him > Mcgrath thats all

Just like people point and laugh at you when you put Root ahead of Sachin. You have to decide once and for all of records, averages etc matter or not. Too often you want to have your cake and eat it too.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Double wicket maiden for Bumrah.

He's come out all guns blazing today.

 

[mominsaigol]

I've never put root ahead of Sachin

Hiding, nice joke. .

 

[Devadwal]

Greatest fast bowler in present era and one of the best of all time. Anyone says otherwise are either jealous or no idea in cricket.

Only wannabe and Temu root fans .

 

[Bhaijaan]

What happens to Siraj when Bumrah comes back.

 

[Devadwal]

Unlucky Siraj. Feeling for him.

 

[Human786]

Bhogle is irritating .
274/7 - under 325 would be good .

 

[kron]

Wicket is seaming. Clown needs help from pitch and chucking to get wickets

It’s jaiswal a fault bro
One catch drop
2 runout chances missed

 

[Bhaijaan]

Imagine we hadn't taken the DRS against Woakes.

We almost didn't

 

[RamLakhan]

Pant can't be forgotten about so easily. I would play him as specialist bat at some point and play another WK. He is just an exceptional test player.

I was not at all sidelining him, I was just thinking of looking at Jurel... The only way Jurel can get into this side (as he is considered as Specialist WK). I have a gut feeling that Jurel can do well as a batsman (and we have dearth of middle order batsmen in tests).

Overall I want both Pant & Jurel to be part of our Test Team...

 

[aboveandbeyond]

India will be toast on this. This is not a easy wicket to bat on.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Indians are terrible catchers lol

After hefty pronouncements about British summers, team 500's and individual double tons, we are now reduced to this.

 

[mominsaigol]

Root hits century 37th. Heart ache

 

[KingKhanWC]

Jamie Smith is dangerous, a quick 70 odd here , get to 370ish and game on

 

[Human786]

Smith - beautiful shot .

 

[OldWarHorse]

That drop seems costlier by the minute

 

[KingKhanWC]

After hefty pronouncements about British summers, team 500's and individual double tons, we are now reduced to this.

Its only the 2nd day , England still favourites, not sure if you're watching cricket or bull racing.

@DeadlyVenom @Mamoon @mominsaigol @BouncerGuy

Show respect where due.

I’m sure Root is devastated that Bumrah got him out after he scored a century. I hope he can recover from this humiliation.

 

[Rajdeep]

I unlike other esteemed posters don't like to give spoilers in between matches but if Stokes scored 75 tomorrow then India could simply surrender.... And he is currently on 39".

Hahaha...tried to predict like Rajdeep but failed as usual.

Here is my next prediction - Jamie Smith will steal the show now with his batting. Either a ton coming up or a quickfire knock which will take England to big total.

 

[Ball Blazer]

Three wickets in the opening half hour this morning for Jasprit Bumrah.

He is inevitable.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Hahaha...tried to predict like Rajdeep but failed as usual.

Here is my next prediction - Jamie Smith will steal the show now with his batting. Either a ton coming up or a quickfire knock which will take England to big total.

The name SMITH has always scared Indians.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

India will be toast on this. This is not a easy wicket to bat on.

I dont have much faith in England being able to bowl in the heat. India have a good chance to wear them down, especially Jofra. Could take him out the game completely by grinding him down today.

 

[Devadwal]

Smith is so so lucky could have gone 3-4 times in his shorts innings so far

 

[Rajdeep]

Gill is manhandling Bangladeshi umpire

 

[Devadwal]

Ball didn't go through hoop then why umpire not changing it. Idiots

 

[KingKhanWC]

Jamie boy putting the Indians to the sword

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Its only the 2nd day , England still favourites, not sure if you're watching cricket or bull racing.

Your predictions seem very much in line with bull racing though

 

[Human786]

Bumraj unhappy over the ball change
292/7

 

[Bhaijaan]

I’m sure Root is devastated that Bumrah got him out after he scored a century. I hope he can recover from this humiliation.

Depends on the outcome of the match. Root was expected to capitalise on it and make a big one. Gill made 269* last match which won us the game. Bumrah had other plans for him though.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Your predictions seem very much in line with bull racing though

Lets hear your cattle market prediction for this test?

1. What will England score 1st innings
2. What will India score 1st innings?

Ask Sadguru first if you prefer.

 

[mominsaigol]

Lol Jamie smith now manhandling Bumrah .

Jamie Smith is easily thr best keeper in the world. Better then Carey for sure

 

[KingKhanWC]

"There isn't a single "Smith" who served as Viceroy of India. Several individuals named Smith were prominent in India during the British Raj, but none held the title of Viceroy. "

After today Jamie must be given this title.

 

[Bhaijaan]

The difference this series

Seamers with the new ball this series (first 10 overs)
India: 15 wickets at 22 (SR 32.7)
England: Six wickets at 43 (SR 72.5)
