I read it was Reliance, but then Wiki says its GMDC end.. If it is Reliance, it would make it funnier.
Probably wait till the new ball loses some of its polish.
England in India 2021

Anything under 250 keeps a miracle possible. Got to keep your head.
Broad has given that out.
Indian fans booing appeals is hilarious.
i thought it was plum live to be fair to Broad. Annoying.
It's ok though because England should focus on their batting
Thought that was out too
It was out so broad is justified in his thinking. I don’t understand this rule and the percentage for error affects everyone. If the ball is even clipping the stumps it should be taken out if the umpires hands and be given out. If that’s applied to everyone then no one can complain about it. Ridiculous
Didn't know thisWait.. they renamed Motera the Narendra Modi stadium
What a man .. Adani end too..
Jay Shah going on camera and praising his father and Modi for the stadium..
This is like a bad joke.
Guess a Shah mainstand would be next.
Too much salt is bad for your diet.
The decision to go full pace and swing is already looking a terrible one
I think the point is, there is some guesswork with the ball tracking so that margin of error is factored in.
Umpires call for impacts outside off (for LBWs) is idiotic though... there is no guesswork there.
Pitch doing nowhere near enough for us pace wise. Looks like trouble.
Yes but if every single one is given out regardless if umpires call, then everyone gets the same decisions and we don’t have home umpires having the final say. Ruins the watching for me. Just give every batsman out if the ball is even slightly clipping. The margin for error will be suffered by everyone equally around the test world.
Did Axar bowl well or did England just give their wickets away and he happened to be the one who got lucky?
Both. We batted far worse than the last test match, and that wasn't great.
a mixture of both mate
Yet every other nation would show more replays just to emphasize the decision/soft signal being overturned. It's about doing all you can to limit any opportunity for complaint.
To take the chat away from the bowling a second, can we just appreciate the approach from the Indian openers here. Patient, score when possible, wait for the ball to stop doing before applying pressure.
England batted so badly it is simply unforgivable after the last test.

Stokes got a warning for using saliva. Runs penalty the next time it happens apparently.
England are being thoroughly outplayed, undoubtedly. No umpires from any nation can save them.
England have bowled 8 overs in 50 minutes in this session..
I do feel like we are able to lose the Test match on a first day far more regularly than any other top nations.
When we lose, WE LOSE BIG.
When we lose, WE LOSE BIG.
That's a poor shot after doing all the hard work
Just carried that one, close though.
Most of the country is loving it though.Wait.. they renamed Motera the Narendra Modi stadium
What a man .. Adani end too..

That looked a little bit sliding down to leg to me - probably umpires call.
Anyway, some hope!

That's why they should have neutral umpires imo.
Nice job that we've quite a deep batting lineup. Need 250 here. Maybe an idea to promote Pant to counter Leach next after Kohli.
250 looks a long way..
Very true
Should get relatively better in morning. Evening sessions are the toughest.
I haven’t seen the article because it’s behind a paywall. But I notice Vaughan has written an article about Archer not loving test cricket. What’s that about?
This partnership probably dictates if India will need to bat once or twice.
It’s about Vaughan still thinking he’s the greatest English cricketer of all time :-))
The ultimate flex on Rahul.
Probably send him on PM and edit this post.
Don't post Paywalled stuff on public.
If India get to 75-4 I think 200 is the most they can hope for. I think kohli will go after it pretty quickly, it’s not an easy wicket to play a test match innings on
Missed last hour or so. Though pujara would hold on bit longer.
That patch on pitch that showed up holding?
