England v India | Match 38, World Cup | Edgbaston | 30th June, 2019 | Match Thread

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

England are really looking serious today. Our next match is against Bangladesh. We shouldnt take then lightly.

 

[Smbhayi]

Good shot, by Bairstow

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Good toss for England to win, apparently doesn't look like much turn in the wicket for Indian spinners.

 

[FanofCricket]

England on course for big total

 

[Rana]

Such a cool stumping!

 

[Smbhayi]

Brilliant reply, lucky Bairstow

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Ooo.. Turning for spinners.

 

[Gullycricket]

Seen that a lot from Bairstow

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Single Pasli into attack

More like Kangadi Pahalwan.

 

[bluevision]

Chahal getting some turn

 

[Mueez]

Plot twist:

It is spinning.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Looks a good batting surface

 

[RainStopsPlay]

Pandya boy is gonna bowl those crucial 10 overs and win this game for England.

 

[FanofCricket]

Bumrah changes ends

 

[desi_launda]

Difficult to get them out now... 375 incoming

 

[Gullycricket]

Kohli doing drama again

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Pandya boy is gonna bowl those crucial 10 overs and win this game for England.

Lol. And there is no Vijay Shankar to put the blame on this time.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Despite outscoring Roy, Bairstow's timing has been off, thus far.

 

[Hasan123]

England are dangerous when they don't lose early wickets.

 

[90MPH]

Pitch looks absolute belter. Shame we don’t see the consistency in this ICC tournament.

 

[FanofCricket]

Should bring kuldeep in

 

[Rana]

Surely ECB cried to the ICC to give them such a pitch

 

[Green Patriot]

In 1992 India lost to England

 

[Mueez]

Bumrah looks threatening.

 

[bluevision]

8 in 3 overs, Bumrah still keeping the screws tight even on this Road

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

In 1992 India lost to England

How was the toss?

 

[FanofCricket]

England looking serious today 300 looks on the cards now

 

[Ronaldo7]

In 1992 India lost to England

But NZ beat Eng in 1992

 

[dildilpak]

So England got what they were waiting for - a flat wicket!

 

[Gullycricket]

Lol jo ball mara na usi ka wait kar rahe hain....Haanji

 

[Ronaldo7]

How was the toss?

Eng chose to bat first

 

[FanofCricket]

Kuldeep hasnt been that good in this tournament will it be kuldeeps today

 

[RainStopsPlay]

Lol. And there is no Vijay Shankar to put the blame on this time.

Our brainless kaptaan didn't even give Shankar a single over despite bowling a winning spell against Pak. He deserves Pandya's rubbish bowling for sure.

 

[Mueez]

Let me remind you all:

England haven’t won against India since 1992.

 

[Hasan123]

Roy has made a difference so far.

 

[FanofCricket]

Shot of the day from Roy

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Eng chose to bat first

In 1992?

 

[TamiL_GarvaM!]

Chak de India

Jai Hind

Dil Dll Pakistan........C'mon India....ek wicket ki baat hai...

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

So England got what they were waiting for - a flat wicket!

Winning the toss was what they probably wanted most.

 

[Hasan123]

Roy is looking in deadly form.

 

[FanofCricket]

Let me remind you all:

England haven’t won against India since 1992.

But don't forget its 2019 now

 

[IAJ]

Dangerous spinner. They have two of them.

 

[Ronaldo7]

In 1992?

Yes

 

[Gullycricket]

Dropping Moeen and Roy back makes Eng very strong in this game

 

[90MPH]

India will be chasing 300+.

 

[IAJ]

Roy is looking in deadly form.

Another 4

 

[BaaliSoda]

Roy is in murderous form, back to back boundaries off chahal

 

[QalandarFan]

Oh come on somebody get Roy out!!!

 

[Mueez]

Dil Dll Pakistan........C'mon India....ek wicket ki baat hai...

Just one wicket.

Just one.

 

[bluevision]

Dhoni gave some tip to takkar pehlwan, he bowls a lollypop.

 

[Green Patriot]

How was the toss?

England won and elected to bat first

 

[Gullycricket]

Let me remind you all:

England haven’t won against India since 1992.

1992 will come to bite us now

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Lol. We are losing this. They are going to get 350 minimum and we'll struggle to 270 tops.

 

[Green Patriot]

But NZ beat Eng in 1992

Yup i know.

 

[QalandarFan]

Kohli should sit back and let Dhoni captain.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Can India chase 300

 

[Ronaldo7]

1992 will come to bite us now

But... nz beat eng in 1992. If NZ beat eng on wed we will just have to beat bd to go through

 

[WebGuru]

Not only Aleem Dar can help Pakistan with some of the decisions

 

[Mueez]

1992 will come to bite us now

Ouch.

But NZ beat England in 1992

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Hahah just noticed something funny...

India cant defeat England,
England cant defeat Pak,
Pak cant defeat australia,
Australia cant defeat india

Hahah

 

[Mueez]

This pitch is so good that a total of 320 won’t be safe for England.

 

[QalandarFan]

Can India chase 300

Yeah anything under 350 they can chase down. King Kohli hasn't scored a ton yet it's about time he does something special in this World Cup!

 

[Captain caveman]

Let me remind you all:

England haven’t won against India since 1992.

So england will end that run of defeats today, with the help of india.
It will be poetic justice, if england then go on to knock out india in the semis!
You guys call it karma, i think!

 

[K4Kohli]

Pitch is a belter, will be a good test for our bowling. Indian bowling actually was very good till now. Edges and pitch not helping.

 

[Hasan123]

If it's a similar type of pitch versus New Zealand, I don't see England losing that game.

 

[TamiL_GarvaM!]

Hahah just noticed something funny...

India cant defeat England,
England cant defeat Pak,
Pak cant defeat australia,
Australia cant defeat india

Hahah

awesome...what goes round....must come round....

 

[Captain caveman]

Yeah anything under 350 they can chase down. King Kohli hasn't scored a ton yet it's about time he does something special in this World Cup!

lol! India won't chase anything over 280!

 

[bluevision]

Bumrah bowls a maiden in this patta..wow.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Can India chase 300

We have Pant and Pandya. Enough said.

 

[DeadlyYorker]

If it's a similar type of pitch versus New Zealand, I don't see England losing that game.

Yes because this type of pitch suits them,whatever is the pitch india will never play at 6 runrate in first 10 overs ,if eng gets big score it will be exremly hard for india

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

4 overs 8 runs 1 Maiden

 

[QalandarFan]

lol! India won't chase anything over 280!

You must not follow Indian Batting and English Bowling.

 

[TamiL_GarvaM!]

Lol. We are losing this. They are going to get 350 minimum and we'll struggle to 270 tops.

I'm getting the heebee jeebies about this already....i doubt our guys to chase 300+

 

[Hasan123]

Yes because this type of pitch suits them,whatever is the pitch india will never play at 6 runrate in first 10 overs ,if eng gets big score it will be exremly hard for india

Agreed. Rohit may have to take more chances if it's over 300.

 

[IAJ]

Ganguly: I don’t believe in past

Ganguly 5 minutes later on Bairstow: History tells he has had success so he can bounce back

 

[Mueez]

It is Kohli’s day.

He hasn’t got a big hundred yet so today could be his day...

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Swing and miss

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Shami s bowling so far looked great ,poor lad got many 4s edged

 

[Deewana]

that Washout vs SL will knock us out along with that rubbish vs wi

 

[Rana]

True test of Kohli king of Chase today
