England v India | 2nd Test | July 17-21 2014 | Lord's

[Electron]

Probably not fully fit here.

Yes, his pace seemed down too. This is where players need to prove themselves team-men and opt out themselves.

 

[lilFlip]

And all of a sudden...

That's test cricket for you.

India has worked hard today and this is reward

 

[Sandeep]

India needs to nab couple more with this new cherry.. Hopefully Prior and Broad.

 

[Adil_94]

If England lose this will be such an epic failure. They had a green wicket bowled rubbish let India get to 295. Then in easier batting conditions they are flopping so hard

 

[Varun]

Good day of test cricket!

 

[Batman_DB]

india bowled well but still i think england will take a lead around 75-100 the tail will wagg

Ballance interview after the match with his authentic English accent from Harare

 

[MarkCooper]

India favourites to win.

 

[Saj]

India definitely on top particularly with the wicket of Ballance.

Kumar once again excellent with the ball. Really impressing me with every match.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

India favourites to win.

Did you even see the pitch?

England has all the chances to take a lead and the pitch is getting flatter and flatter.

In what world is India favorites to win?

 

[MRSN]

still even this game but India will be happier to get two set batsmen on a pitch that is getting better for batsmen.

Now that England seems to have messed up a golden post-toss opportunity with both bat and ball, India is 2 quick wickets away from a very strong position.

There are a few areas in the pitch where Jadeja seemed to be generating a lot of spin and steep bounce against Moeen. Who knows, maybe that will widen as the game goes on.

Unless India takes 10 wickets, I am not breathing a sigh of relief. England bat deep. And their tailenders always troll India.

England v India | 2nd Test | July 17-21 2014 | Lord's | Day 3


England are 76 runs behind

 

[cricket geek]

get the remaining 4 wickets before lunch.

 

[Varun]

Off to play some Total War. Hope to be back in a couple of hours and see them bowled out.

 

[m.shah]

England doing it well at the moment trail by 40 only now

 

[trogger]

It's one thing getting bounced out by the aussies but now even india and sri lanka are bouncing out prior, embarrassing stuff for somebody who used to be such a rock for england.

 

[Robert]

Matty has never been a good hooker. Total waste, after he was playing so well. I think he has to go now.

 

[Sakss]

Plunkett doing well

 

[Sakss]

Ah... Stokes gone...


Bhuvi gets a 5 fer

 

[Saeed]

At best England will get the lead of 1 or will level the score.

 

[cricket geek]

fifer for Bhuvi .

 

[cricket geek]

Bhuvi needs to get broad and Anderson quickly .

 

[cricket geek]

Bhuvi takes another one and
broad and

 

[Electron]

This has been a tremendous performance from Bhuvi ! What a bowler !

 

[leatherface58]

Irresponsible from Barbie Doll.

 

[Robert]

This is going to be a big swing day for Jimmy, I think. Warm, total overcast.

 

[Sakss]

England's most Important batsman in the middle . Jimmy Anderson

 

[Aman]

"Since he made 70 in an ODI at Perth, Ben Stokes's scores in all formats for England: 0, 5, 5, 4, 0, 4, 0, 0, 0"

 

[Lords]

Bhuvi making history for himself here. Two 5fers in two match and lot of runs is no joke, even against england

 

[Aman]

England should feel embarrassed, they've had the best of the conditions with bat and ball but may still find themselves trailing!

 

[Sakss]

Since he made 70 in an ODI at Perth, Ben Stokes's scores in all formats for England: 0, 5, 5, 4, 0, 4, 0, 0, 0"



Rubbish

 

[cricket geek]

last wicket partnerships are very irritating .

 

[Aman]

Rubbish

I've said it before and I'll say it again, he wouldn't make the NZ side.

Ordinary cricketer with limited talent.

 

[Electron]

Dropped.. should have been taken.

 

[desi_launda]

England in the lead

 

[Aman]

Can BK take a 7fer?

Rubbish

English hype brigade called him the next Botham.

 

[Aman]

England in the lead

Means jack, India scored 295 in much more difficult conditions.

 

[KPfan]

In Jimmy we trust.

 

[Sakss]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, he wouldn't make the NZ side.

Ordinary cricketer with limited talent.

Indeed a very ordinary bits and pieces cricketer

 

[DrSchultz]

Plunkett deserves a 50.

 

[Aman]

Leathers, are you watching the Warriors or Chiefs?

 

[Sakss]

Means jack, India scored 295 in much more difficult conditions.

I blame Cook and the bowlers for that.. Should never have been 295

 

[desi_launda]

Ishant now averages 38.15 with the ball

 

[Robert]

English hype brigade called him the next Botham.

No, Flintoff was The New Botham. Stokes is The New Clive Rice.

 

[Sakss]

English hype brigade called him the next Botham.

) oh , comparable to Afridi i guess

 

[KPfan]

300 up on the board.

 

[Aman]

No, Flintoff was The New Botham. Stokes is The New Clive Rice.

Yeah and Jimmy Neesham is the new

 

[KPfan]

81 more for an Anderson 100.

He deserved it last time. He'll get it this time.

 

[Sakss]

Jimmy races to 19 off 16

 

[Sakss]

Lead now 14 runs

 

[jattafridi]

Well played plunkett

 

[Robert]

Yeah and Jimmy Neesham is the new

Is he? About time you had a second decent batsman after Martin Crowe.

 

[Adil_94]

At least England have got a lead. But I think India will win this one. Pitch might start deteriorating on day 4/5 which will bring Jadeja into it

[Sakss]

Change of bowling, Ravindra Jadeja at the Pavilion End, booooooooooooooooo!!! Only joking...


On cricinfo

[cricket geek]

rubbish bowling.

 

[Aman]

Kane Williamson is better than any bat you've got currently

 

[cricket geek]

Anderson by jadeja

 

[leatherface58]

No, Flintoff was The New Botham. Stokes is The New Clive Rice.

Prior the next Kamran Akmal. This is a good game.

 

[Kianig89]

sir Ishant n Sir Binny playing at Lords

 

[desi_launda]

This is why you don't mess with the Sir

 

[Sakss]

319 all out

 

[Electron]

Excellent bowling performance given the conditions. Now I am hoping for a brilliant fluke innings from Dhawan.

 

[Sakss]

Prior the next Kamran Akmal. This is a good game.

Binny the next Kallis

 

[desi_launda]

Dhawan must attack,he best when he does that

 

[jattafridi]

England have to bowl really well if they wanna win this test match
Come on Anderson

 

[Sandeep]

Jadeja gets Anderson.

[desi_launda]

TB: 30.5-8-82-5
Lords: 31.0-10-82-6

very consistent grath

 

[Batman_DB]

india bowled really well now upto the batsmen to put up a decent score of around 300

 

[Robert]

Prior the next Kamran Akmal. This is a good game.

Can't argue with that. Poor old Matty.

 

[Electron]

India played well to bring this match in a 50-50 state. Batsmen will have to make the most of good batting conditions now.

 

[Sandeep]

Conditions may be good for this entire day.. We need to make the most of it..

 

[Electron]

Ripper from Broad.

 

[jattafridi]

England don't deserve to win
Congrats India

 

[cricket geek]

Pujara , kohli and dhawan have to perform in this innings .

 

[hur rizvi]

Perfect batting conditions and not much swing, India should capitalise here

 

[Sandeep]

Shikhar Dhawan's technique is

 

[Saeed]

This is probably Dhawan's last match if he doesn't score.
