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

[RedwoodOriginal]

Shoaib bashir's inner Pakistani came out when he roared like that.
Shabba sher

Tbh, that wicket was more down to Siraj's lack of awareness then Bashir's bowling

 

[Devadwal]

Jadeja should have taken some chance with Tailenders instead takings single over. He should have try to hit Mirpuri bowler .

 

[oatmeal]

England need to find a better spin option. Bashir aint it

 

[KingKhanWC]

Did our lad with Pakistani heritage just break 1.5 billlion Indian hearts?

Its ok he has a bigger heart

On a serious note, good fight from the lower order.

Ghambir is a fault here imo, India came out with no plan at all chasing down an easy score.

Ben stokes is such an inspiring player. He is the MVP of test cricket.
Brilliant captain very good bowler and a decent batsman.

 

[Ahmed216]

Brit pak has the last laugh. Well bowled shebby.

But what a performance from India. It deserves respect.

Best off-spinner in the world

 

[Hyder]

I would've backed jaddu to hit bashir for 25 in one over.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Perfect excuse

But what's India excuse for failing to chase down 192?

No i m talking about the way he ran and roared after taking the wicket.

Lemme put it this way. He pulls this off I promise my next vote in whichever election comes up first, will be for the BJP

Now it makes sense.

[Technics 1210]

Bashir from Rochdale, with a broken finger, via Sialkot, seals the game!

Indian media must be going bonkers!

The tamest of dismissals, no energy in the ball, yet rolls over and dislodges the bail.

 

[sweep_shot]

ENGLAND WON!!!!!!!!!! WOO HOOOOOOOOOO!

INDIA LOST. TIME TO DANCE. TIME TO PARTY.

 

[oatmeal]

Jadeja should have taken some more chances in his innings. He will rue that

 

[DeadlyVenom]

India can take a massive moral victory here.

They forced England to change their bazball style and change their pitches but still took them to tea on day 5.

So much guts and character shown across both sides with a special mention for Stokes and Jadeja efforts on the final day.

A great test match.

Another fantastic day of test cricket. England batting folded. Like I had said, India were ahead at the end of the 3rd day, Same thing for day 4. England's mindset has been shaken this series. Their bowling is toothless as well.

Post of the year?

Theirs no moral victory. This entire tour has been a pr disaster.

I want england to win, but if england loses the next game without Bumrah then it's gonna be an even bigger slap in their faces.

India should be very disappointed. They had the superior bowling attack and still lost.

The 2nd test happened due to England's ego. They curated the same pitch and india prepared better.

Siraj , prasid have lowest amount of game awareness. Good game.India fought well.intresting to see the next pitch .

 

[Technics 1210]

Indian commentators bigging up Indias loss by claiming England shook hands with Siraj, England players showing respect. Blah Blah.

How many Indians in the crowd applauded England win?

Why is it all about acceptance with India?

Bumrah’s Stupid shot cost India the match. If Bumrah had not gotten out Jadeja would have taken more risks and scored more risks.

 

[batandballbattle]

Thrilling test match. I would give some grief to India fans but credit to the fight Jadeja showed to stretch it to the 3rd session. Maybe he should have taken more chances, maybe it would have ended sooner, who knows.

England shouldn't produce flat pitches. They should produce spicy pitches like the one at Lord's.

Congratulations James! Hope all is well bro and enjoy!

Stokes is the difference for me, his two near 10 over spells showed he took it upon himself when most skippers go into hiding. What a sportsman, incredible.

Match turned IMO with the Pant runout in the 1st innings when he and Rahul looked comfortable.

No need to take such a risk just so Rahul takes strike and gets his hundred before lunch. India should've got a 1st innings lead from that position.

Last 11 Tests:

Will be interesting to see what dish you celebrate this loss with

Once I returned, I saw England won.

Fittingly, I enjoyed an Indian defeat after consuming beef biryani.

Bumrah’s Stupid shot cost India the match. If Bumrah had not gotten out Jadeja would have taken more risks and scored more risks.

Blaming Bumrah and Siraj for this loss is peak stupidity lol. What exactly were Gill, Pant, Nair, Jaiswal, Reddy, and Sundar doing? Vacationing?

 

[Aqib_mustafa]

I mean at no time jadeja has looked to go after the bowlers this match was there for jadeja to be the hero instead he just kept on giving the strike to tailenders really disappointed with jadeja at the end he should have been smoking boundaries single alone would have not won it for india.

When your Team is deprived of 2 Greatest Test Fast bowlers Anderson and Broad and Still Defend 192 against Mighty Indian Batting line up that bats til 9 and resists till 11 .. Stokes and Co should be proud of that effort

Yep. That was the turning point. Only 1 team has ever lost scoring 387 or more in Lord's history .

It was important for that partnership to carry on and get a 70-80 lead.

He should have shown a bit more initiative . Its hard to blame Jaddu because he brought it so close but he certainly didnt run more twos or go for risk free attacking shots

I felt he has the game to nail a couple of sixes off Bashir even with most of the fielders on the boundary line. But can't really complain when his tactics almost worked.

Bhumrah should be getting chittars. There was nothing in the wicket and the English bowlers were getting tired. All he had to do was block or give Jadeja the strike, there was no need for him to play that pull shot.

A heart breaking defeat for India. England have the momentum and wild the floor with India over the next 2 Tests.


Long tours are tough on visiting teams especially when you are touring a top side like England.

Bro atleast jadeja could have go for big shots he has the ability singles were never going to win india this match with tail enders at the other end.

He plays , bowls brilliantly as usual , other good pacers fail to bowl well who did brilliantly in his absence.
And India loses.

Still here
Great game

Good fight by India but this should have been chased.

 

[Ab Fan]

With 8 down, India found themselves in a situation where the game was next to impossible to win. You needed a genius like a Ben Stokes to weave his Headingley magic to win the game. Unfortunately, Jadeja don’t have the capability to do that because he is an accumulator who can only score of poor deliveries. But what he does possess is discipline, patience and temperament.

Today’s game proves that as a batsman, he is to Stokes what Dravid/ Kallis is to Lara.
