Seems to have a bit of zip back after a flat Ashes series.Slightly mind blown by how good Anderson has been this morning.
Yeah always feel scoreboard pressure when the opposition has put up nearly 400This pitch is starting to turn...
We need all of our runs in this first innings you feel.
Looks a bit floaty so far.Usually day 2 is a sedate day, but one team can get ahead here.
I like Mukesh Kumar in red ball cricket, and this is his debut at home.
His longevity is incredible. He looks fitter now than he did during the Ashes last summer too.Anderson now 7 away from 700.
That spell of 2 wickets in 8 overs on this dust bowl was masterful.
Can Anderson keep going well into his 40s? You wouldn't bet against it.
The Giggs of cricket.His longevity is incredible. He looks fitter now than he did during the Ashes last summer too.

Harsh - there was way higher chance of him smacking it for a six than nicking it. That is just how he playsThis is why Crawley was daft to go like he did, It's opened England up to lose quick wickets. When you're in India and playing well, you really need to make a big score.
This x 1000.Harsh - there was way higher chance of him smacking it for a six than nicking it. That is just how he plays
There was nothing about the match situation that called for him to play differnetly
I couldn't disagree more. I'm sure he'll be happy with his personal contribution when England are all out for 200Harsh - there was way higher chance of him smacking it for a six than nicking it. That is just how he plays

That's a bit ridiculous mate.I couldn't disagree more. I'm sure he'll be happy with his personal contribution when England are all out for 200
No, it's not! MateThat's a bit ridiculous mate.
What's with this weird entry to the thread.No, it's not! Mate
What's with that poor interpretation of what I wrote? I never said it was a poor knockWhat's with this weird entry to the thread.
Is the argument Crawley's 76 (second highest score of the match so far) a poor knock?
Nope no one is making that argument here. It’s just he gave himself a great platform to turn a 76 into a big score and got out in a silly way when he should have played with a bit more sense.What's with this weird entry to the thread.

I think I'll leave you to it.What's with that poor interpretation of what I wrote? I never said it was a poor knock
What is silly about trying to take on the spinner?Nope no one is making that argument here. It’s just he gave himself a great platform to turn a 76 into a big score and got out in a silly way when he should have played with a bit more sense.
Probably for the bestI think I'll leave you to it.
But that's how he got to 76 -- should he have packed the intent away from ball 1? What about when he hit Kuldeep over mid wicket right after Duckett went?I couldn't disagree more. I'm sure he'll be happy with his personal contribution when England are all out for 200
Oh look, another one bites the dust. Crawley was in good touch and needed to look after his wicket a little better.
May have spoken too soon. Middle order collapsing.England very much in business now.
