These commentators are blaming the ball. saying its really nice and shined. 39/3 here and probabaly this could go very bad for india if they can't stabilise this. Ideally we wuld want kholi on strike for anderson next.
well thats been rather busy. root drops a genuine catch on Kohli and then snaffles the next one for jadeja. thats 4 down now.
111/5 kohli got an absolute lovely one nobody could do anything with IMO. robinson has bowled at a super level. so much more pressure with overton and woakes supporting than with curran.
Been a good performance from England. Just enough movement from the ball. Has woakes been injured? Seems to hasn’t played in ages but the guy just constantly picks up wickets in these conditions and is very handy with the bat.
this big call has paid off. 122/6 cant get much better than that. Constant, ongoing, pressure on india all day from very good consistent bowling in the same sort of places that has paid off. Last match england added 2 batsmen who look like batsmen and this match have added woakes who can bowl in the conditions. The 4 are similar but right for the conditions and importantly have enabled the pressure to build. India resisted from 3 down but one went under the pressure and 3 were gone quick enough, good batting and leaving but the balls delivered were pretty good to get them.
another big drop. overton dived across burns there one handed and dropped it. dolly for burns imo. slips are on top of each other.
it all kicked off there quickly.... chaos at the end. nice stuff. bit of a tricky evening batting session for england now. Success would be 0/0 at close
