it's a mute point
Ben Foakes is so sharp behind the stumps
Eh, one bowling end is bought by Adani, the other by Ambani.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.
Might go for a couple of overs Archer here to try and blast Ashwin out. Remember he had him in trouble in the first test. Not sure who I'd take off though!
I'd just give him a couple of overs and tell him to bowl as fast as he can.Do you risk the runs that could leak here? A couple of extra boundaries will be the difference if England can get these out soon.
Exactly as we all expected.Root 4-5
Root is having a Clarke (Mumbai) moment.Root 4-5
Look, if you’d had a wank you’d have missed the whole inningsOf course this is the morning I have meetings
FixedAll England need is 17 and the game is in the bag.
Would probably bowl Archer now though.I'd just give him a couple of overs and tell him to bowl as fast as he can.
EDIT: And Ashwin is out!!! haha what a brilliant captain I'd be.

This match is going to be done in 2 days, someone needs to be looked at for this pitch.
Yeah was thinking the same. Get Archer on and tell him to just bowl yorkers!These runs are vital. 30-40 innings lead is probably like 75-90 in a normal setting!
I've never understood the recent history where England have flipped between YJB and Buttler behind the stumps. Both are more explosive with the bat, but Foakes is a significantly better keeper and is also a grittier batsman.Ben Foakes is so sharp behind the stumps
No, Leach is better and Bess is more threatening when it's not turning as much.Is Root England's best spinner?

Still can’t see England winning this test
Yes, if something this pitch has shown is one play aggressive cricket. Rohit played right brand of cricket and got rewarded. Crawley also played some aggressive shots and the imtent was always there. Hanging around is not a solution.England have to be more aggressive this time to stand any chance. If they just poke around they'll get out.
