It's really high class bowling.
3 pushed across him and then a fuller in swinger at close to 90mph. Should have played it better, but still excellent bowling.

Didn't come in that much but I guess it doesn't need to at that pace with that angle, looks like Jennings never had it in his head that Bumrah might try to nip one back in. Very good bowling and very bad batting, Bumrah's action and the pace he generates is the real wonder here, especially when you see David Willey come in off a massive run up to hit the low 80s all the time
.Serves Bumrah right that for running off celebrating rather than appealing. Broad uses to be a terrible candidate for it.
Maybe it did move quite a bit
, out the hand at that pace is very hard to react to but it is Jennings' job.What the feck is our bowling coach doing? Twat.
The good and bad with Bumrah in 2 overs...
Anyone know if that counts as a lost review?
Nah, it doesn't. Umpire's fault for not calling the no ball.
Cricinfo still shows 2 reviews remaining
Cheers guys. Hate it that we've given an extra life to someone like Root.
Jennings was one of the worst attempts at batting I’ve ever seen
That’s a beauty from Ishant. England in trouble.
Thank god Bumrah's brain fade doesn't cost us any thing really. Beautiful bowling.
Heck of a bowling attack and England top order all at sea.
Wow.
How many down by lunch? I'd go with 5.

All out in a session, again.
Are we sure these batsmen are English, have they ever seen a ball swing before? Terrible foot movement and complete lack of preparation or forethought on how to see off these bowlers, Kohli has shown how to bat in England better than the English batsmen.
That's a good ball, but it has started coming in from the hand should have been able to cover that.
At the very least I hope we can bin this fecking obsession with Root batting at 3. Why on earth you'd try and shoehorn a world class four or five in to the side to try and make up inadequacies at three I don't know. It's just neutering a strength.

There was an excellent cricviz article about Root the other day which I think nails the problem with him at the minute:
http://cricviz.com/2018/08/cricviz-analysis-joe-root-a-batsman-transformed/
There was this piece on CricViz about Root having an absurd average off balls hitting his stumps up to 2016, since 2016 it's nosedived. His form is a huge concern, not converting 100s wasn't great but he was still getting scores, now he's in a funk and a half.
Well it is a good article
The worrying thing is if a bloke on the internet can see this, what the heck are the coaching staff doing to nip these things in the bud? As with most things with batting Root needs to stick to what he was good at and leave a bit more often.
This is fecking shit from Bairstow.
That ball which beat bairstow, whoosh.
I think it depends which way they want to go. If he's going to bat at 3 it's a problem of technique and he needs to fix it. If he goes back to four which he should it becomes less of an issue again. Still something to work on, but not as important.
I know he's not popular, but Vince is about the only batsman in the country who is scoring runs batting at 3 in the CC (other than Ali, who we've seen enough of to know isn't an international number 3) and he's doing it at Div 1 for once.
There's an overkill of all rounders and everyone is batting one place too high so dropping one of the spinners (my choice would be Rashid still, I don't think he troubles top order batsmen) for Vince and moving everyone down one just creates a much better looking balance of the side on paper.
Agree completely.
We seem to take it as a sign of cowardice that our best player won't bat three. But look through history and a lot of top players didn't bat there: Tendulkar, Mark Waugh, Steve Waugh, Pietersen, Border and Bell to name a few.
Feels pretty weird to have a very good pace bowling attack.
Surely the English batsmen should be batting with a middle and off or off stump guard and further out of their creases. Trying to get outside the line for inswingers and being well aware that any outswinger will not hit their stumps? Only Buttler so far in any test stuff has attempted to make any adjustments.
Don't think Bumrah's bowled that well tbh. Yes his ball to Cook was amazing and he's beaten the bat a couple of times but he's also been off-line quite a lot.
He'll be a major handful in Australia though. Can see India being really competitive there.

I'm with you on that, thought Vince should have come in for this test. Had Stokes been fully fit maybe he would have.
No Warner, no Smith, it all depends on how Kohli goes and how fit the Aussie bowlers are.
Yeah it's probably a bit of a perfect storm with Woakes being injured and Curran probably not quite being trusted to be a third seamer yet. Although I wasn't hugely convinced by the logic that Ali coming in helped that situation.
You've been wrong in every account with regards to Bumrah.
Well that's been coming.
This Bumrah lad looks decent. Shame he didn't perform in CT2017 final, so he's not good obviously.
Have faith in Cook. Seems to have settled down for a long innings here
I feel like defensive test batting is dead, I honestly don’t see how test cricket is going to compete with limited overs in the modern world
It's about having a clear plan when coming out to bat, of all the English batsmen this summer I only feel like Buttler has had a plan when he's come to the crease about how he will deal with the moving ball and he's the poster-boy for our limited overs side. The players are not very quick to learn or to adapt to conditions and the coaches don't seem to be doing much about it other than pissing around with the batting order. We're basically watching United playing cricket.
