This is quite accurate.Now this is the real test for root.
He has scored his Indian runs on flat pitches.
This knock will determine how well he is against spin
Kuldeep averages 24 with the bat in first class cricket with one century and 6 50+ scores, it was completely okay to hand him the strike.Not the smartest batting from the batsman either. Should have never gone for that run off the first/second ball of the over. Then had the nerve to get upset that the tail-enders couldn't play out England's best bowler.
Pant is talented but not the most mature and level-headed individual out there. Apparently isn't the safest pair of gloves either. Reminds me of the Akmal brothers.
I'm particularly intrigued by this Sibley character. He looks so determined about the way he's playing spin, I'd love to see him fall apart as the series progresses.
His hands and arms move so much like Alastair Cook - but I think he's gonna soon fall into Ashwin's lap as the series moves on
Why do England keep persisting with Sibley and Burns when it’s clear that their ceiling is 30-40 runs
Nah.. Sibley is good.Why do England keep persisting with Sibley and Burns when it’s clear that their ceiling is 30-40 runs
I think England will get bundled under 225, leaving India with a lead of 100 runs.

Even 150 is looking like a tall order.
Honestly, poor batting against spin by both sides so far here. Yes, the ball will turn, but they have made it look like a minefield.
That has been England’s go-to shot against spinners which might have worked in flat wicket but not here.Blindly sweeping won't work here, especially against the turn and to a quicker bowler like Axar.
England are at risk of getting shot out here. Might be asked to follow on. Lol
Axar had Lawrence Lawrence with an arm ball but it was umpire's call. Pathetic that our home umpire didn't give it.
1(26) -- This will be hard if you play like this.

He is positive even tho his SR is less.
Getting more and more decisive.
We need to get him out.
Pant will bat the same way , that is the only way he knows , and that serves the interest of the team as well.
Feel sorry for any batsmen on the crease when Pant is behind you.. His constant yapping can drive you MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It did look high at first to be fair.
Indians would be happy to lose 4 wickets and then take 4 here in this session. Some ordinary batting for both sides here.
This match was over at the toss.
Theneeds to rest once in a while, no?
Don't know if didn't see it, but it as clearly a 2 but kuldeep was too slow. Cricinfo even spells it out the the only reason pant ran was becae there was a 2 there
And it's hilarious you compare with akmals because bowlers like Cummins are pointing out how pant has a brilliant cricketing game and the reason eh is so consistent is excuse he knows which bowler to targer
At this point peokle who compare him to akmals seem to be delusional and wishing instead of living in reality
India had their tail , England has top order gone , its a big difference.
This match was over at the toss.
England were in trouble from the time they lost toss on this dustbowl. 3 day games is what they should prepare for from here on
Both batted similarly here.
This is the England I expected to see when I had predicted India would win 3-0.![]()
You cannot win Toss every time, you got to accept that. That is beauty of Test Cricket , you need to adjust yourself in different conditions.
SENA teams prepare thier pitches according to thier strengths if same done by subcontinental teams then it is pitch fixing.Little lol. This is pitch fixing where you cannot win apart from winning toss. Rondhu Kohli went back to his masters to provide him a turning pitch.

Agree aus pitches had gone flat but what about nz, eng pitches. Whenever subcontinental team visits they dish out pitches full of grass.We saw that in Australia when sydney and gabba were playing like rajkot on day 5. Only SA prepares poor wickets rest are all fine
