He got Pantsed
England in India 2021

Oh, wow, yeah. I saw he got 91 but hadn't actually realised how quickly he got it.
Pant smashed him. Was 6 overs 60 at one point.
What would you guys do re follow on? Not enforce it seems the popular opinion. England need 4 sessions I think and it’s a tricky call — but they’d have bowled a lot more overs than the usual follow-on which happens after a 30 over bundling out.
I hope Sundar and the rest hang on for at least a session and half more. That’ll put the cat amongst the pigeons a bit.

If they bat out a session, then that pretty much settles the match as a draw. 5 sessions isn’t enough for England to bat again and get India out again.
England have to go for the kill here. We will eventually get our act together in the remaining tests. This is their big chance.. They have to enforce the follow on IMO.
To be fair Jadeja/Ashwin/Whoever else is in at number 7 has been shouldering some significant burden for India for a while now
Looks like its heading for a draw..
The pitch was too flat. Hope its better for the other matches.
edit: just checked .. 2 tests in Chennai and 2 in Ahmedabad.. oof.
edit 2: Ashwin gone

Another 50.. And I wish we could bowl England out in a session
Its too hot for England to enforce a follow on..
So whats a good score? Even if they make 120 in a session, asking India to chase 400 in 4 sessions is risky....

6.. what a shot.. where did that come from
Sundar is a proper batsman.
Sundar is a proper batsman.
Shame Sundar will be denied a 100 because others couldnt hang on long enough.
Think we’ve found a reliable backup 7.. looks very organised.
Does anyone else also think India still has chance to win this match?
What a catch. Stokes is amazing.
I would give us a 5 percent chance.
Amazing catch but decent-ish recovery by us after 72/4. England will probably bat 40 overs and look to give us around 450 which will be impossible to chase.
If England collapse.. or take a risk and ask india to chase <400 in 4 sessions..
Draw quite likely. Then England win.. India win the least likely outcome for me..
Feel for Sundar.. Had a great chance to get a 100. looked totally comfortable out there.
This pitch isn't the one to defend, should keep playing shots or aggressive intent.
One down.
Proper sub continental track now.
I'd drop Rohit and have Sundar open and get Pandya or another batsman in at 6/7
That's too much. Rohit is fine as an opener. I rate Nadeem but he's been shit in this match, we are effectively playing with three bowlers in this match.
Joe Root is looking in incredible touch.
Boom! Bumrah removes Root!
Going to be a good day 5
I asked this earlier to @Mani, but is there any chance of rain tomorrow?
Set up nicely this. Lots of pressure on Leach & Bess to take the 4th innings wickets.
Nope - hot and sweltering. Rain is not going to ruin our victory march, don't worry
OK - how's Nadeem bowling so many no balls?
India in general poor discipline with the no balls in this match. 26 for India so far to England’s 1..
Declaration coming at 400? or will England bat longer?
They'll set a WR target. The WI win will be playing on their minds
Hopefully 400 if they can get to it as important to try to have some time bowling today.
That will play into India's hands. 400 should be defendable here.
Yeah. England will look to get at least an hour's worth of bowling here. Get a couple of wickets and India will be bowled out by tea tomorrow.
I have complete faith in a fifth day 4th innings collapse by a team in India. Seen it far too many a times unfortunately
Openers are key. Not impressed with their 1st innings in light of England score.
Nadeem bowling the Ashley Giles lines ffs.
Nadeem has bowled two overs without a no ball! GTFI!
