England in India 2021

[slyadams]

Watching the video again, just the first 4 seconds, I’m even more convinced it’s out. As the foot is moving back and the bails are broken the shape of the boot doesn’t change at all, then you can see the toes make contact and compress. Those first couple of seconds I think the foot is off the ground. Additionally, if you look at his whole leg it’s clear there is a slight movement up as well as back.

The whole point still remains that all we’re saying is check properly.

Anyways it's done now , this is going to be a long day in the field for England

 

[groovyalbert]

Another 180-200 runs and India won't be batting again this match

 

[KM]

Home umpires giving lbw with two umpires call. Forgot to give morning payment.

 

[BR7]

The umpires everywhere on the circuit are mostly suspect but to get a decision wrong as a third umpire with all those replays like rahane is criminal

 

[KM]

Another umpires call. Maybe ICC should have neutral umpires

 

[JohnnyKills]

Great start by England this.

 

[Dan_F]

I’ve gotta be honest, as horrendous as England batted, they dropped three catches yesterday (two were tough). This match would be massively in the balance with those not put down, so England only have themselves to blame.

 

[NinjaFletch]

Pants 70 off 60 balls is going to be particularly painful now there's a glimmer of hope.

 

[KM]

India should have sent Sundar for two lefties against Leach.

 

[BR7]

I think England’s batting needs to take the blame on day 1 more so

 

[JohnnyKills]

England's tactics are clearly to bowl tight with the seamers and ask Leach to attack with spin.

Good move by Root

 

[zing]

Roll us over for 150 and England are well in it.

 

[YAMS49]

Maybe we should one of these on pitch umpires to leg it off the pitch to check the 3rd umpire calls...

 

[KM]

Pant out.

 

[Sanche7]

Wow, this is some collapse. Going to need a Washy - Ashwin partnership to get back some advantage. Speaking about Sundar, is he injured or something? I see that he didn't ball at all during the England innings

 

[NinjaFletch]

Roll us over for 150 and England are well in it.

You're going to bowl us out for about 2 either way.

 

[KM]

50 run lead will be absolute gold here.

 

[zing]

You're going to bowl us put for about 2 either way.

Expecting England to do something special in the second innings. They can fail only so many times surely..

 

[Sultan]

Disappointed with the stadium being called after Modi. Nothing political, I just think it's just a waste of an opportunity to make serious money over many years. A sponsor would have paid some serious money. This could have been then used for grass root cricket or other good causes.

However many times you think they can fail, there is always one more in them.

 

[Utd heap]

Glad we went with the 4 seamers here.

 

[NinjaFletch]

There's absolutely no way England are scoring more than 100 on this.

 

[YAMS49]

Glad we went with the 4 seamers here.

Ha, exactly. Exploding turner on Morning two. No need for Broad, should have gone with another 'batsman'. Root is a better bowler than Bess anyway.

 

[Gandalf Greyhame]

India throwing it away.

 

[NinjaFletch]

 

[zing]

150 looking a long way away now..

 

[Dan_F]

England are so fecked once they go in to bat again

 

[Nico87]

Root really should bowl himself more often!

 

[JohnnyKills]

Can see why England picked this team. If the pitch is spinning, Root is as good an option as Bess or any of the other spinners because of his accuracy. Should have bowled himself earlier though!

 

[KM]

This pitch is actually much more stupid than the Chennai pitch. That one was okay. This is horrendous. I won't be surprised to see this fined.

 

[Utd heap]

There is an outside chance we score less than 15 in this second innings.

 

[Sultan]

You should play in a one-day manner on a lottery of a pitch. It's pointless just trying to defend. Sooner rather than later your name is written on a ball impossible to play.

 

[TheGame]

What is happening here

 

[YAMS49]

This pitch is actually much more stupid than the Chennai pitch. That one was okay. This is horrendous. I won't be surprised to see this fined.

It's as bad as the First test, yes. Only difference England capitalized on the toss win in that one.

 

[groovyalbert]

What...

 

[Utd heap]

Joe Root 0/3

 

[Yorkeontop]

Love seeing a host nation drowning in their aggressive pitch.

I'm disappointed too. But only because Modi is farmer hating c***

 

[BR7]

Effing don’t believe it I made sure i was home yesterday, today and tomorrow, get called out this morning and this is what I’m missing. So pissed
