Barring maybe Cumminngs Stokes is the best of Int captain. The bowling is not up to par, it needs Woods or Jofra and when Pope is replaced by Bethell, it will be a very good team.
Root will probably make a triple ton here now.
Didn't you predicted a comfortable England win of the series?Stokes is a terrible captain. He is a clown.
His suicidal declaration in the first Ashes Test in 2023 cost England the series and this dumb decision to bowl first on yet another batting wicket can cost England the Test if not the series.
India without sissy Bumrah would have had very little chance of winning this Test had England batted first and scored 400. Now, with this dumb decision, he has played right into India’s hands.
I hope India win this series. It is what Stokes deserves. You have to respect the conditions and the opposition. Bazball is just PR rubbish.
2-2 in the Ashes, 1-4 in India and 1-2 in Pakistan proved it.
It didn't hurt them scoring 800 runs in Pakistan after conceding 550.That toil in the sun definitely has hurt England.

Root triple century @Nikhil_cricEngland 26/3
Wow wow wow
This shows that India does not need Bumrah to win matches , what they need is to hold on to the catches.
On flat wickets Pakistan will still be bullied by England anywhere on the planet. India made mistake last time with fielding. Plus tailender collapse.Pakistan in the next 2 tests took a gamble and prepared rank turning dry pitches which totally neutralized England's bazball approach.
Bro whatever happens he must breakIf Root can't score a century in this thread, then he doesn't deserve to break Sachin record.
One thing also clear here, this was the blunder that let India down in the 1st Test...They couldn't bowl enough after tea to England when they came to chase.
Root is going to score 300 and England above 800 as predicted by some postersIf Root can't score a century in this test, then he doesn't deserve to break Sachin record.

Okay.Let's not fight brothers enjoy high quality test cricket. These battles won't last forever. Enjoy while we can.
Wasnt born at that time so can't sayAla FTBs
I don’t remember any prediction, but I do recall writing that I can’t decide if I want England or India to win this series.Didn't you predicted a comfortable England win of the series?
Why sudden change. There are still 3 days and 3 Test matches to go.
This is why I love Indian mentality.Pakistani Test attack is supposed to be far superior to India's (without Bumrah)
We will see what those trundlers will do next year on these pitches.![]()
To win lets not play bumrahBumrah must be crying at the moment
They have removed Jaiswal from slip cordon. Things are better now.Bumrah must be crying at the moment
No he is taking the rest and watching how indian young bowlers are bowling on a flat wickets. He is not a lossers like some other team player's.Bumrah must be crying at the moment

You guys don't care about here and now but already fixated on Pakistan in a year's time.
This is long term strategic thought process and something we happy go lucky Pakistanis lack.
Just don't have these guys ping me, mention me, Indirectly mention me and reply to me again. Tell them to put me on the ignore list.Guys please enjoy the match and stop irrelevant bickering
Uh, didnt the same legendary Indian bowling attack of Bhumrah, Shami, Siraj, Jadeja allow England to chase 370 plus in a test match in England in 2022 when the conditions flattened out?
Same attack also enabled us to win 2 tests in that series.Uh, didnt the same legendary Indian bowling attack of Bhumrah, Shami, Siraj, Jadeja allow England to chase 370 plus in a test match in England in 2022 when the conditions flattened out?
These Kohlis and Sharmas have harmed our test game so much with their selfishness.It was more due to Indias batting failure by washed up seniors. It was a 600 wicket.
Pakistani fans know that they can't beat India so hoping other team to do that job. Kya din hai inke pendulum ki Treh Inka support ghumta rehta haiAnd this is what I love about Pakistanis. Pretending to be happy go lucky when all kinds of strategic interests in neutral matches are quite obvious from Freudian slips throughout these match threads![]()
We drew 2016 and 2018 series. It has been a long time. I'm semi hopeful next series..Pakistan does well in England usually but let's see.Same attack also enabled us to win 2 tests in that series.
When was the last time your attack did this, which is winning 2 tests in England?

VK was thrown out - told his place in 11 certain only for 1st Test .These Kohlis and Sharmas have harmed our test game so much with their selfishness.
However, it's a totally different thing when you play a 5-tests series. Really difficult to stay focused during such a long seriesWe drew 2016 and 2018 series. It has been a long time. I'm semi hopeful next series..Pakistan does well in England usually but let's see.
At 169/(4 or 3 ) ,Vihari dropped catch of bairstow and he went on to make century .Uh, didnt the same legendary Indian bowling attack of Bhumrah, Shami, Siraj, Jadeja allow England to chase 370 plus in a test match in England in 2022 when the conditions flattened out?
Pakistan has won only one Test match in SENA countries since 2018We won two tests in England in 2016 with an attack of Amir, Wahab, Rahat, Yasir Shah, an inferior attack to Bhumrah, Shami, Siraj. We won a test in 2018 with Hasan Ali, Abbas, Faheem Ashraf, Amir, Shadab again a much inferior attach to Bhumrah, Shami, Siraj
2016 was 9 years ago!We won two tests in England in 2016 with an attack of Amir, Wahab, Rahat, Yasir Shah, an inferior attack to Bhumrah, Shami, Siraj. We won a test in 2018 with Hasan Ali, Abbas, Faheem Ashraf, Amir, Shadab again a much inferior attach to Bhumrah, Shami, Siraj
He should have been thrown out years ago, our test record over last few years won't have been half as bad as it's now.VK was thrown out - told his place in 11 certain only for 1st Test .
Another wicket today would be nice . 58/3
800 is out of the equation lol never really was but now it's not happening.India have to get one of these two out quickly or they might think of scoring 800 again just like against Pakistan last year.
Ball becomes soft after 20-25 overs.800 is out of the equation lol never really was but now it's not happening.
India can push for follow on it's more.likely than England 800
Tuktukraj daddy gill scored 269 . Highest ever score by any Indian player in SENA nations.India have to get one of these two out quickly or they might think of scoring 800 again just like against Pakistan last year.
Seems like Siraj & Akash have lost steam now, time to bring in Prasidh the run machine trundler.
Momin this is not Pakistan road, this is Birmingham highwayBrooks 300
Root 266
They will score this
He is much better than Konstas who just plain sucksBrooks again and again showing he is a ftb .zero technique and temperament to grind it out.
Why can't I believe? I want india to lose. KP leader and his minionMomin this is not Pakistan road, this is Birmingham highway
