India on top on 28/0 at end of Day 2 after bowling out England for 253 in the 2nd Test, a lead of 171 runs

[BouncerGuy]

The calm turns to chaos for England, who almost lose a second wicket in as many balls!

Pope misses a beautiful turning delivery from Kuldeep and steps forward out of his crease a fraction, with Bharat missing the stumping chance.

The England pair consider a risky run off the final ball and Pope is sent sprawling back to avoid a potential run-out. India have a spring in their step.

 

[Ahmed216]

Kuldeep enjoying a good spell

 

[Ahmed216]

More pace and bounce in this pitch compared to last game. England should keep going for runs. Crawley is key here

 

[IAJ]

Very bold and aggressive response from England. This is how you play when you don't try to secure your place in the team for the next decade

 

[Ab Fan]

Looks like England will score 600 runs here.

 

[sindhiboy]

Crawley has thrown away a potential score of double hundred

 

[BouncerGuy]

WICKET! Crawley c Shreyas b Axar 76 - England 114-2

What. A. Catch.

Crawley comes charging forward to smash Axar through mid-wicket for a boundary, then goes on the offensive again with the next ball and hacks it high into the air.

Shreyas goes running back and takes a brilliant low diving catch to give India a huge wicket.

An impressive innings for Crawley, although he will be frustrated not to turn that fast start into a bigger score.

Jasprit Bumrah ahead of 2nd Test match against England Said:

"I'm always behind everybody's back. In India, if the ball becomes soft, you have to take care of the ball. With the saliva rule not being there, it's difficult to maintain the ball sometimes. I'm always behind the spinners... 'bowl your overs quickly and shine the ball'. Because when it reverses, it will help us, and it will help them,"

I'm always behind (their backs), and of course, if the ball is well-maintained, it is always an added bonus,"​

 

[MANU ROY]

genius bumrah

 

[boomboomcheema]

Root biggest flop of this series, failure after failure after failure when the team needed him..should just retire if can't in Asia.

 

[Ahmed216]

Excellent cricket pitch.

 

[Devadwal]

What a set up by Bumrah . absolutely genius level stuff

 

[Ahmed216]

WHAT A BALL crazy stuff

 

[MANU ROY]

genius

 

[Devadwal]

Bumrah get rid of pope now .what a spell

 

[Mesozoic]

Was just a matter of time for Pope.

I am baffled why Bumrah didn't use many yorkers in Hyderabad against Pope when the latter has a clear weakness in bringing his bat down in time. He got him the same way at the oval in 2021.

 

[MANU ROY]

Bumrah looks like hurt

 

[MP2011]

Pathetic Mukesh still getting hit despite having cushion of 4 wickets now.

 

[MenInG]

Bumrah looks like hurt

Where did you get that from?

Anything you add here - you need to follow up with a good reason

 

[Rajdeep]

After a long time I am watching a good test series being played at home. A proper contest between bat and ball. It just goes to show if you lay out good surfaces, test cricket can still be such a good sport even in sub continent. I almost stopped watching any test matches played in India due to poor pitches where games get over in 2 days. This series being an exception and long it may continue. Whoever agreed for these kind of pitches, hats off.

 

[MenInG]

Tea time

India in control

IND 396
ENG 155/4 (33) CRR: 4.7
Day 2: Tea Break - England trail by 241 runs

 

[Devadwal]

Pathetic Mukesh still getting hit despite having cushion of 4 wickets now.

Mukesh is useless in subcontinent conditions . should have played another batsman instead of him

 

[aboveandbeyond]

Bumrahs elbow is the issue. Not surprised really.

 

[MP2011]

Mukesh is useless in subcontinent conditions . should have played another batsman instead of him

We are playing 5 bowlers just for the sake of it.

 

[MenInG]

Cook: Bumrah spell has changed the game

Sir Alastair Cook, speaking to TNT Sports:

"I got this pitch wrong. I'm surprised by the movement we're seeing and the extra bounce.

"I actually thought this pitch would keep low and it would be easy to sweep, but they haven't been able to that much.

"It was the spell of fast bowling from Bumrah which has really changed the game. It has been compelling cricket.

"We know that under Bazball, you never quite know what is going to happen next - and that was another example of that."

 

[Rajdeep]

Mukesh is useless in subcontinent conditions . should have played another batsman instead of him

Mookesh Koomar from Gopalganj is the kind of trundler our coach sahab loves. If he gets dropped he will be repaced with legendary Prasidh Krishna.

 

[BouncerGuy]

WICKET! Bairstow c Gill b Bumrah 25 - England 159-5

That man Bumrah strikes again and England lose another!

 

[Ahmed216]

Amazing performance fromYashaswi and Bumrah have ensured India are on top in this game

 

[BouncerGuy]

WICKET! Foakes b Kuldeep 6 - England 172-6

Kuldeep has 2 now. BOWLED'IM!!

"That's a clean up job," Ravi Shastri says on commentary, with Foakes beaten on the outside edge by Kuldeep to see his off stump knocked back.

England in disarray.

 

[sweep_shot]

England threw it away.

It was a great opportunity for them to go up 2-0.

They can still win it but India are ahead currently.

 

[BouncerGuy]

England's collapse now standing at 5-58 from Crawley's wicket onwards... India in complete control of this Test match all of a sudden.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Not sure why some people think India's score was below par.

 

[MANU ROY]

Where did you get that from?

Anything you add here - you need to follow up with a good reason

He was holding his arm after Pope's wicket - physician checked him.

 

[MP2011]

That was a good catch from Gill

 

[Devadwal]

Kuldeep strike , Rehan is gone
England has lost seven wickets

 

[BouncerGuy]

WICKET! Rehan c Gill b Kuldeep 6 - India 182-7

England is in deep deep trouble now. Inning defeat loading?

 

[MP2011]

3 each for KulBoom

 

[Devadwal]

I'm 100% sure last three wickets India will concede another 80-90 runs .

 

[Croma]

I'm 100% sure last three wickets India will concede another 80-90 runs .

I arrived here to post exactly that.

 

[Mamoon]

Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum deserve this humiliation.

@Forum363

 

[BouncerGuy]

That dropped catch is a bit of luck for stokes.

 

[Croma]

26 runs partnership already.

 

[Croma]

SOrry... 32 runs.. Hartley smashes Kuldeep for 6.

The man who can get 8th wicket is Bumrah, but Rohit wont bring him on for a very long time.

 

[MenInG]

Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum deserve this humiliation.

@Forum363

Last time this was said, they won the 1st Test

 

[MP2011]

We are committing the same mistake of granting free runs to Hartley

 

[MANU ROY]

Rohit should not give over to Mukesh

 

[MP2011]

And now Bumrah bowls Stokes.

 

[MANU ROY]

Bumrah strikes again

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Bumrah best in the world

 

[Croma]

Finally Rohit grew some brain cells and brought back Boom Rah!

 

[castortroy]

Bumrah is levels above any pak bowler I have seen for a long time.

The last time I saw a pak bowler of this level was Asif

 

[MP2011]

Ashwin has been really poor post 1st innings of first test.

Neither with ball nor with bat

 

[Croma]

Will Bumrah repeat his Bouncer barrage Vs ANderson?

 

[MP2011]

Gotta find a second line of spinners now that Ashwin is on his last legs, Jadeja remains injured most of the time

 

[Croma]

Ashwin has been really poor post 1st innings of first test.

Neither with ball nor with bat

He has become youtuber now. Cricket is now just a hobby

 

[MP2011]

This Mukesh trundler is so ineffective that it beggars belief how did this guy walk into India setup?

Same for Bharat.

 

[castortroy]

I do think Bumrah will go down as the best Indian fast bowler of all time

 

[MANU ROY]

Gotta find a second line of spinners now that Ashwin is on his last legs, Jadeja remains injured most of the time

Sunder in best replacement for Ashwin

 

[MANU ROY]

This Mukesh trundler is so ineffective that it beggars belief how did this guy walk into India setup?

Same for Bharat.

India should try Arshdeep Singh

 

[MP2011]

Sunder in best replacement for Ashwin

For that he needs to be played, at least at home

He won't replace Ashwin by twiddling his thumbs in pavilion.

 

[MP2011]

India should try Arshdeep Singh

Hell, no. He is another overrated trundler

 

[MANU ROY]

For that he needs to be played, at least at home

He won't replace Ashwin by twiddling his thumbs in pavilion.

Dravid have to think about that

 

[MP2011]

Dravid have to think about that

Dravid and thinking? No chance. He is getting such a fat package as India coach. Why should he bother thinking?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

India all over England like a rash

 

[Deewana Mastana]

With 3 days to go and 150 lead anything is possible

 

[MANU ROY]

Hell, no. He is another overrated trundler

He is trundler but miles ahead than Mukesh prasidh avesh

 

[MP2011]

5-for for Bumrah

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bumrah

 

[MANU ROY]

fifer for bumrah

 

[MANU ROY]

think about this Indian team without bumrah

 

[jnaveen1980]

India badly misses Shami. This Mukesh is a pathetic bowler. Even washed up Umesh would have been a better choice. Even in the last match he could have been a handful against tail.

 

[Ahmed216]

To pick five on this wicket is special

 

[Deewana Mastana]

6fer

 

[Croma]

looks out

 

[Croma]

Amazing. In the previous test Jadeja was give out, and in similar conditions now, Anderson given not out..

 

[Devadwal]

India need to set England minimum 350 Target

 

[MANU ROY]

India need to set England minimum 350 Target

Not enough 450 needed

 

[MANU ROY]

Mukesh can't even bowl to a tailender

 

[Croma]

Mukesh is so generous

 

[MANU ROY]

Mukesh is so generous

He have no talent that's it
