Moeen has no form, Foakes has no experience.Foakes and Moheen are expertly good batters against spin, England have to keep fighting.
Seconds late.A century from Moeen and England can still do this.
Seconds late.
He did give a century of runs in 1st innings. So will gladly take another century of runs from his bowling.I meant...in the second innings.

Ahmedabad, Gujarat.Where's the next test?
Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
Next one is daynight test match with pink ballThat'll work wicket will spin, surely? I've heard Mohali would suit England more.

It will be flat.. Remaining two tests are there. Limited locations due to covidThat'll work wicket will spin, surely? I've heard Mohali would suit England more.
Both tests are there. One is pink ball test. Seamers should do fine there. But looking at this first innings, spin friendly will be also an option. We do have such a variety of bowlers now.That'll wicket will spin, surely? I've heard Mohali would suit England more.
It's both. Same as the first test and Root's innings.You can quibble about the toss and the pitch all you like, the difference between the sides is an outstanding innings by Rohit Sharma.
Yeah the day-nighter looks like our best chance.Both tests are there. One is pink ball test. Seamers should do fine there. But looking at this first innings, spin friendly will be also an option. We do have such a variety of bowlers now.
I know. I just find pitch chat generally pretty boring, home teams always setup pitches in their favour, it's part of the challenge of touring.It's both. Same as the first test and Root's innings.
As I've said before, if India bat third and get skittled for even less than England, then it's fair to say this is a bad pitch.I know. I just find pitch chat generally pretty boring, home teams always setup pitches in their favour, it's part of the challenge of touring.
He's right. Problem is that England's spinners aren't as good as India's so if it comes down to a shootout between the two, we'll lose.
That's fair. There's always a great deal of hand wringing about Taunton here in the County Championship to be fair.As I've said before, if India bat third and get skittled for even less than England, then it's fair to say this is a bad pitch.
Otherwise, sure. If one team can bat on it, then it's fine.
EDIT - Follow on avoided. When India bat third.
Definitely. We’ve also got a huge issues with our top order. That top three screams early collapse on these kinds of pitches.He's right. Problem is that England's spinners aren't as good as India's so if it comes down to a shootout between the two, we'll lose.
I hardly think the last pitch exploded after day 3, the pitch was still a good batting pitch with some assistance for the bowlers.
I can see your point but in the 80s if a test match ended in three and a half days there used to be all sorts of questions asked of the pitch and was it test worthy. Now it’s the normI know.
