The whole day sun beat down on the pitch. The pitch had some juice in the morning. But it quickly disappeared.

This is the same Woakes who was spanked like a worthless trundler last year inn india and also this year IPL. Now all of a sudden he becomes legend.

Your post reminds me of Rohit Sharma’s retort to Steyn (or Morkel was it?), when he was getting tortured at the crease. Disgraceful
 
If woakes of all people smashes a century at 70 strike rate against you, you know you are rubbish as a bowling attack.

But wait i can smell a pandya sobers fifer in next 2-3 overs. Now, somebody hand me my nasal drops.
 
This will be even more hilarious if we don’t get any more days play. :)))

I didn’t say that England weren’t taking Pakistan seriously; what I said was that the Pakistan series were merely a glorified warmup for the main event of the English summer - the Indian Test series.

This series would define whether it was a good summer for England or not. If they win this series (which they will), no one will remember that England drew a series with a mediocre, 7th ranked Pakistan team. No one except Pakistani fans.

Similarly, had they won that series but lost this one, that win wouldn’t have mattered.

Think only person mediocre will be the one who will not give credit to Pakistan. Thankfully the likes of Nasser Hussain and Mike Atherton will still be around to appreciate what Pakistan have achieved in England. An opinion of someone called "Mamoon" wont matter for much. Thankfully.

No. He is the expert. 😂😂
 
Its good that India travels outside every 2-3 years to give us a reminder of how vulnerable they are outside their comfort zone. Yet here people can't appreciate a team that hasn't played a single home test in 10 years and goes toe to toe with this english side in their home turf.

How bad is Pandya... no two balls in the same area
 
I think they will go hell to leather once Johnny gets his ton






Never mind he is gone

You have Shami (your best pacer), Ashwin (your best spinner), Kuldeep (best LOI spinner), Hardik (the reincarnation of Sobers) and Ishant (just took a five-fer’ last game).

BK is our best Test bowler in away tours.
Ashwin is the best spinner and agreed.
Kuldeep would not play if BK was playing.
Ishant would not play if Bumrah was fit.
Hardik is a support bowler to give rest to 4 main pacers.
 
I think they were waiting Bairstow to get a 100 to go berserk, will perhaps slog some overs now and then declare.

Ishant has much more experience than bumrah. What has bumrah done in test cricket till now?
 
Just heard from some commentators that Forecast is not that bad for sunday, little chance of rain while Monday is clear with cloud cover.
 
I would just declare now and watch India’s top-order minus Kohli choke in spectacular fashion.
 
The lad talking on the air knows a thing or two about wicket keeping :srini

I feel sorry for Kildeep Yadav.

Hopefully India won't punish him by dropping.

Chinaman bowlers are rare and I wanna see him play for India
 
Pandya is turning out to be a seriously average bowler. Some shockingly poor control of the red ball.

Someone call the police!

England should have declared once they got 200 lead and give India an hour or so to bat tonight especially with the cloud cover and under lights.
 
India was unlucky with the toss. Condition was almost unplayable yesterday. Pitch has flattened out considerably now.
 
Woakes punishing Indian bowlers. How bad is he and how bad are Indian bowlers to get punished by someone as bad as him. Bad cricket all around.
 
New ball taken by India out of desperation. Spinners have failed and pacers are lookin as threatening as teletubbies.
 
England should fancy their chances of bowling India out. Bat until day 4 tea.

I know that's why I said "should have declared" as 200 was good too.

Weather has played a big part in this game so far and with the forecast remaining as it has been, 200 lead was massive.

Yes i am hoping the english boys know their weather well.
 
The Indian Chinaman was way overhyped, nothing special about him from what we have seen today.
 
Ok in all seriousness...Eng should declare now. The next time we will have any play in this test match is during tea time on 4th day. Rest all rain forecast

I am sure [MENTION=9]Saj[/MENTION] remembers this exchange with great fondness.
 
The light has been getting worse and it's not long before they're going to go off and will be stumps for the day.
