Should be the last time Bhuvi plays this format for India.

A dry wicket gets that extra bit of moisture from the dew and the ball skids on slightly better. Lights probably have nothing to do with other than the dew being at night.
Solid batting so far. Crunch time once the powerplay finishes
India getting mullered.
200 pitch as @crappycraperson called it.
Butler and Hales making this look easy so far 
Looking at Indias scorecard, their openers wasted the PP. Thats a good amount of runs. Very surprised they just stuck with it expecting it to change.
Given how many options they have its nuts who they actually end up picking.

Game over already. Well done England.
Don't be fooled - it is ridiculous to suggest that England may find hitting shots easy in a T20 game on a batting pitch.
No, this - this is a miracle.
Wait till after the Powerplay. So far this tournament England haven’t played the middle overs well
India need wicket to change this. But look out of ideas here.
England dont have to take any chances once the PP is over and just keep it ticking. Theyve got big boundaries in every over vs every bowler. They will cruise this.

This is going exactly as expected.
Yet another semi final failure. Atleast this time we can't blame kohlis captaincy.
The problem is this is exactly what was happening against SL and they struggled in the middle overs so will wait and see how this pans out.
If I were a betting man, I'd put a cheeky tenner on Eng chasing this down with ten wickets to spare.
Anyone else find it weird listening to Morgan commentating on Hales given we know his real opinion of the guy?
Wickets are not falling that easily. Score in PP and the advantage is huge.
Yeah pretty much. The Spin outside of the PP got to England in the end
What's this about? Thanks
Yeah I thought the same but Morgan comes across as very professional so leaving personal opinions aside unlike some other commentators.
Axar Patel has had a pointless tournament so far. Just bowled 6 overs prior to this.
India's bowling is very weak.
Where are the morons who were saying this is a par or good score? This was always a 200+ pitch. Like I said game was over after India's powerplay.
Jheez. Pandya tries to get the crowd into it, and then smash, for a four quietens the crowd.
Fantastic PP by England. India need a wicket or two.

That's how you bat in a PP
Should be done in 15 overs
India getting smoked here. Choking big time so far!
Our bowling is pretty good if any kind of help is offered by pitch or conditions. One of the worst to have on flat decks. There is absolutely nothing in this pitch. We just batted poorly in first 13 overs.
ToucheEngland surely have learnt from that and will not go crazy. They dont need to. Just need to keep rotating the strike. Theyve taken a lot of pressure of themselves here.
63/0 after powerplay.
We had 38/1
We had 38/1
The par score on this ground is literally 165.
England ate 63 after 6, the score we had after 10 overs.
Unreadable thread you lot. See you at the end.
The choking happened in the first 6 overs of our batting. That's what everyone was saying which you ridiculed.
I mean to be fair, it wasn’t a moron who said it. It was a mathematical fact that it was a par score.
The fact they are bowling pure dross and getting pumped has nothing to do with it right?
Par score is different than average score team score batting first. We played here earlier and scored 180+ which Bangla looked on track to chase before the rain. Plus, the pitch report today made it a point to say that this pitch looks hard and ball would come to the bat well despite it being a used surface. This was a 200 pitch from the start, people just assumed the our top order is struggling because of the pitch.
England surely have learnt from that and will not go crazy. They dont need to. Just need to keep rotating the strike. Theyve taken a lot of pressure of themselves here.
Hopefully they have but will wait and see. Their batting has been mixed all tournament. Cries of the game is over is silly.
You don't know the difference between par score for a match and average score as such
These fecking jinx comments are stupid, wish those posters would just feck off.
See you on the next page mate.
