that's was yorker
You would call a back of a length delivery a Yorker just to prove Indians don’t pitch doctor.

I didn't say Indians don’t pitch doctor. This pitch not that slow dust pitch
And an amazing ability to bowl some literally unplayable balls

After Bumrah has retired, I think he will go down with the likes of Waqar and Wasim as the best bowlers coming out of asia

May not be a dust bowl, ball bouncing barley above ankle height (stokes dismissal) how can you take cricket in India seriously

Any discussion herein PP on Indian cricket team that has your comment on it should not be taken seriously, either.

Nobody tell you to take Indian cricket seriously you should only take Pakistan cricket seriously. just seriously think about why Pakistan ain't even win a test match in Australia
Indians go very defensive when pitch doctoring discussion comes up.. theyv got a lot to hide !!

Pakistani batters are lucky to bat on the flattest motorways in the world .
The likes of Babar wouldn't average 30 on our pitches.

You must have missed the discussion (match commentary) during that test.Bro nobody cry about first test pitch why
The same troll poster was making similar outlandish comments during that game as well.
Nothing new from him.
They are thinking that India is going to lose this series just because we lost 1st test . We were lost 1st test in last England tour of India but we smashed them after 1st test. Most likely same story this time also .

what a day's play....Jazz Boom...what an effort...that bowled of ollie pope.....wow...i think he got same batsman at 4th test in eng 2021 in a similar way ....
but a few words about england - they have come to our shores and not wanting to be dominated, i think they have played wonderful cricket and frankly Eng is the team to watch and the most +ve team going arouind....if they can achieve this mayhem in indian conditions, no reason why they cant stuff the bejeezus out of aus on aus soil in the ashes.....
coming back to this match, hope our guys bat sensibly this time around....and get a good lead and target

Never been to Vishakhapatnam or Vizag as its called....must say some of those drone shots are absolutely amazing..and the setting sun with the mountains framing the ground...awesome place
They want it dearly to happen.
One of the better planned and cleaner cities in India. The mountains and the Sea helps a lot too.

England were blown away by a scintillating spell of reverse-swing bowling by India's Jasprit Bumrah on day two of the second Test in Visakhapatnam.
Bumrah took 6-45 in a devastating burst either side of tea, sensationally knocking Ollie Pope's middle and leg stumps out of the ground with an unplayable in-swinging yorker.
Zak Crawley batted beautifully for 76, but his loose swipe at Axar Patel allowed Bumrah and spinner Kuldeep Yadav to rip the heart out of England's middle order. In all, the tourists lost 6-68.
Ben Stokes fought back with 47 until he was bowled by Bumrah, who took his fifth when Tom Hartley was caught at first slip and then had James Anderson lbw to leave England 253 all out.
That gave India a first-innings lead of 143 after they were bowled out for 396 in the morning session.
Yashasvi Jaiswal, 22, became the third-youngest Indian man to make a Test double century before holing out off Anderson, who along with Shoaib Bashir and Rehan Ahmed finished with three wickets.
Jaiswal was batting again before the close, joined by captain Rohit Sharma to take India to 28-0. Their lead is 171 on a pitch where chasing any target of 300 or above would be utterly remarkable.
England are in a dire position, but fewer runs behind on first innings than the 190 they gave up in the first Test in Hyderabad, when they pulled off an astonishing victory.
The main difference here is that it will be England batting last on a pitch that seems sure to deteriorate.
India are hugely indebted to Jaiswal. No-one else made more than 34 in the the hosts' first innings. Their total looked no more than par and England had an opportunity to bat themselves into a position of strength.
The wicket of a Crawley was a huge turning point, after which England were overwhelmed by the skill of Bumrah and trickery of Kuldeep.
Stokes has saved England on countless occasions, so hope remained while the captain was at the crease. Ultimately, even he was powerless to resist the brilliant Bumrah.
It would take bravery to write off England, but comebacks like Hyderabad come once in a generation. The tourists now need their second in the space of a week.
Crawley, on his 26th birthday, batted with extreme elegance to add 59 with Ben Duckett and 55 with Pope.
He played dreamy straight drives, two slog-sweeps for six and danced to clip Axar for four before trying to repeat it the next ball. Losing his shape, Crawley miscued to point, where Shreyas Iyer took a difficult catch running back over his shoulder.
With the ball reversing, India immediately called for Bumrah, who bowled even better than a similar spell in Hyderabad last week.
Joe Root, battling his technique, poked an edge and Jonny Bairstow was drawn into a needless drive. In between was the stunning delivery to Pope, arcing into the toes at almost 90mph to leave the superb visual of one stump standing and two lying on the ground.
At the other end left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep, in for the injured Ravindra Jadeja, was getting the ball to skid and pop. Duckett prodded to silly point, Ben Foakes played all around one to be bowled and Ahmed patted a long-hop to short mid-wicket.
Stokes countered, so Bumrah was summoned again. Two balls into a new spell, Bumrah got one to scoot into off stump, leaving Stokes to drop his bat and throw out his hands in frustration.
Hartley was spirited for his 21, including a six, but Bumrah was too good. Anderson survived one lbw review in adding 19 with Bashir, only to be plumb in front for Bumrah's sixth.
The 90 minutes that India batted on the second morning were action-packed. Jaiswal, on 179 from the overnight 336-6, attacked, while Anderson was masterful with the second new ball.
Jaiswal crashed Bashir for two sixes, then swept the same bowler for four to go to 200, celebrating by removing his gloves and helmet, and blowing kisses to the crowd.
Anderson had exchanged words with Ravichandran Ashwin before having him caught behind, then England dried Jaiswal's scoring to entice a smear to Bairstow at deep cover. Ahmed had Bumrah caught at slip and debutant Bashir snared number 11 Mukesh Kumar in the same fashion.
Given their total, the conditions and the fact England reached 114-1, India surely could not have hoped to be batting again before the close with such a healthy lead.
When the opportunity came, Jaiswal and Rohit were intent on making it count, rattling along at almost six an over and leaving a platform from which to build a match-winning lead on Sunday.
India bowler Jasprit Bumrah on TNT Sports: "I grew up watching legendary bowlers using reverse-swing to bowl magical deliveries and it really inspired me.
"Playing Test cricket has been my dream so whenever I get tired or things don't go my way, I remind myself that I am doing what I have always wanted to do and I will always put in the effort."
England batter Zak Crawley on TNT: "They played very well, obviously Jaiswal played an unbelievable innings and Bumrah was very, very good. He bowled some unplayable balls.
"I feel like we are still in the game massively. We back ourselves to chase a score on the fourth or fifth day."
Former England bowler Steven Finn on TNT: "Bumrah gets into your head as a batter because you just know he can make the ball move in any direction he wants it to. He is a bowler like no other and he is very hard to prepare for."

Eng shouldn't lose hope.
Bumrah just bowled unplayable spell to blow Eng batsmen. Eng did not bat poorly. Bumrah is not going to have such spells in all innings. Eng should try to keep India second inning below 200. India missing players is a golden chance to go 2-0 up in this series.

They won't. English is the only team that can still win this Test due to their batting depth and approach.

India have to bat well and Kuldeep will be key in 4th inning. This is the first time Ashwin has looked off in a home test series, fitness is down and willingness seems to be missing.

Seeing the aberrated surfaces India's biggest miss is not Pant or Kohli or Rahul or Jaddu. It is Shami. That guy is a completely different beast with SG ball on these pitches. He can be near unplayable. India has huge void to fill with him and Umesh out of the picture. This D grade trundler Mukesh in the playing XI is a travesty.

India are effectively at 171/0.
Looks like England may chase a massive target. But, with Bazball, they can do unbelievable things.
