Only English commentatorThe commentary is making England look bigger than they actually are.
We will look to chase whatever score comes? Lol. They haven't posted a proper batting score in 5 innings so far to walk the talk.
Against Australia in ahmedabad that was flatter than thisThis looks like the flattest pitch India has produced in a decade. So far in this series England has batted better in the second innings.
Eng may just play for a draw and that will be the right decision.2 maiden overs.
Watchful start from England.
Yeah, almost lost us that game before Jadeja took over and blasted Waqar all over the parkIt's jealousy.
Manjrekar was originally considered to be the next big thing from Mumbai, the heir to Gavaskar, before Sachin left him in the dust.
Do you remember his iconic innings of 20(43) in the 1996 QF

If they get a few boundaries going they will start Bazzballing. For now they seem to be watchful, with deliveries straying down leg side being dispatched for boundaries.Eng may just play for a draw and that will be the right decision.
India should gift them some early boundaries so that they quickly get into the Bazball mood and then start falling like a pack of cards.If they get a few boundaries going they will start Bazzballing.

Bharat one who is otherIndia's two major headaches in this series is gone.
Barring a Pope masterclass, England don't have much to look for in first three tests.
Hartley's spell was fluke, he is a mediocre spinner. Duckett piled those runs on a really flat deck at the best possible time of the game and yet didn't made a difference.
Not our side lol Duckett and Crawley.Bharat one who is other
I’ve noticed you jump to conclusions and make harsh comments quite often. Not accepting this revisionism. England fans are pleased with all that’s been mentioned here and some other individual performances as well. There haven’t been soft runs and flukey performances when England have won - that was an excellent win. The main disappointment from England has been the middle order.
Not Pope?Not our side lol Duckett and Crawley.
For all Bazball hyperboles, India have dominated the 3 test matches upto now. Hyderabad was a daylight robbery aided by some incompetent Indian batting. The Bazball PR machinery need to calm down.
The only 3 English batsmen to have averaged over 40 till this innings have been dismissed.

Well, it might have sound bitter for fans but it's a harsh truth. England have been poor in the last two tests. I never said that the first test win was a fluke. I am willing to appreciate Pope 's knock as I have mentioned this as "masterclass" regularly.
Hartley is not a top level spinner and his performance in this series barring that one inning was lackluster. It was indeed a fluke spell helped by some mediocre batting too.
India have been a dominant team in second and third test inspite of pitches being very sporting and provides an evenly balance of bat and ball( pace and spin both). The Bazball has failed here as Stokes, Root and Bairstow with bat have been lackluster in this series.
Time for the English middle order to turn up, otherwise this will turn into a classic 90s England “lads on tour” batting collapse where everyone ends up with an extra day off…
I think Bairstow is close to the end now. Horror World Cup and now struggling even as a pure batter. Nearly 35 as well.
Will it be a record if a team loses by 500 runs?
Don't notice the baiters. Still a couple of matches to go but this definitely has been one of the best English teams to tour India since the great Cook-Pietersen-Swann-Panesar-Anderson teams more than 10 years ago.Got no problem with anyone saying that India have been better in Tests 2 and 3, particularly in this one which has been a battering. But I’m not appreciative of language that tries to minimise the England win in the first Test. That is lazy and a falsehood.
If sarfaraz and jurel played in first match result will be differentDon't notice the baiters. Still a couple of matches to go but this definitely has been one of the best English teams to tour India since the great Cook-Pietersen-Swann-Panesar-Anderson teams more than 10 years ago.
Of course they've been helped by facing an Indian team in the middle of a profound transition in both it's batting and pace bowling but they've definitely given us some scares so far.
Haven't u see brooks in ipl.and wc.He can't play chahal spin,so he will fare worse than Ybj.As a srh fan, I have enough trauma with that guy's batting against spin.England should bring Brook in at all costs. Bairstow is not keeping anyway. Root at least contributes as a 5th bowler.
YJB is the weakest member of this XI.
