England vs India | 1st Test | Edgbaston | Aug 1-5, 2018 | Day 2 Thread

Ishant was blocking the pacers well so a good move by Root.

Yadav wont survive for too long, he cant hold a bat straight what I saw of him previously.
 
Horrible horrible umpiring ,few outs given notout ,and so many notouts given out :-/
 
Missing leg stump, so another decision that should have been overturned. Gotta say that umpiring really looks quite biased today.
 
Kohli needs to find a boundary here and not rely on your number 11 with one wicket to go. Would love to see a six.
 
So basically, they are giving Indian batsmen out for anything that hits the pads, and it is India's responsibility to overturn the decision, or just fall for these blunders. :facepalm:
 
If England lose this match, they need to drop Malan . Now Malan needs to score 80 plus to secure his place
 
Get in King Kohli - what a knock!

Whether you're Indian, Pakistani, English or Aussie you have to admire greatness when you see it and that's why I'm a fan.

One of the best tons I've seen in England and from Kohli.
 
While rest if the team is falling to shreds , this is one of the most brilliant test innings he has played ,for pitch thats giving good swing and seam and also is decent for spinner ppl here making excuses is laughable !yes he had few drops but so did india and while umpiring has been poor to make things worse ,its my ray of light :-)

Erm no, but as an Indian fan I would take any runs right now, and all that talk of Kohli in England Shud be let off so he can finally go on about his game.

Dude india has dropped uncountable matches abroad in south africa series or australia or anywhere. Have you not seen the data which shows india at second last or last in slip catching in recent years

Yes but for now let me just say:

Anderson say something nahhhhh
 
For all the fans out here. You all are living in kohli era, he has no competition.
All other players are a rung below him.
He is the ruler.
He is the only KING.
Adapt or Perish.
 
If lead is anythinng more than 50,will get really had to chase unless india bowls em out for cheap ,but then again batting 4th is neve easy .

Rahul needs to step up,have no hope from dhawan,rahane or karthik

Dropped twice.

Average player.

Farhat has a better record in England :farhat
 
England are looking desperate for Kohli's wicket and appealing for everything. Kohli should just gift them our 1 review and give them a flying kiss. :kohli
 
India’s last 2 wickets have added 50 . If they can limit the lead to around 25 to 30 they would be happy.
 
67.2

Adil Rashid to Kohli, no run, the slider which skids on and keeps low, Kohli is beaten on the cut.

Stumping check sent upstairs. England are not even celebrating. Not sure why umpire Chris Gaffaney went to the TV umpire. Kohli's foot is inside the crease all the time. Not Out!

Something about umpiring today feels real odd.
 
Anyone still doubting Kohli is a whiner of mythic proportions whose words are as valuable as a pile of used toilet paper!

What a knock! What a class player he is! Whatever you may say about his captaincy, his arrogance etc, he is a colossus when it comes to batting.
 
58 D Bradman
101 S Gavaskar
108 Steve Smith
Kohli 113
114 S Tendulkar
121 Mohd Yousuf

Proof that Kohlis is better than Sachin Tendulkar, who is overrated.

As much as we would love that sadly cant see it happen ,umesh face 6-7 balls so far its just about to end soon as he face em more but want to see kohli go berserk before that ,would be cherry on cake for me
 
India has still only had 4 SC players in their team in their whole history, despite them being 25% of the population.
 
Virat Kohli is making England pay. How many times it is said that never ever fire this guy up. He loves the challenge. England should remember that getting under kohli skin is shooting yourself in the foot
 
Lmao.. this is a Kohli show now. :))

If Ishant was not robbed of his wicket, it would probably have lasted twice as long.
 
Getting butterflies. Having seen England’s history I feel that they will get rolled over . Ashwin will rip them apart again . Kohli will make them pay in this whole series .
Problem is that kohli was getting out in the slips . Who does England have in the slips ?
 
Poor captaincy by Root here. Stokes and Rashid look toothless at the moment against Kohli. Needs to bring back Curran
 
This is Sachinesque from Kohli. Others will need to step up. He can't do this every single time.
