***Official*** England in India 2016/17

Haha surely you review that, reckon he somehow forgot that the ball can't be pitching outside leg

 

[vcs]

Now I'm worried.

 

[Howe_zat]

Kohli would have reviewed that while they were still appealing

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Nice start by Rashid. Love it not being reviewed.

 

[wpdavid]

Interesting.

Can just tell this is going to go from not expecting anything to being really frustrating,

You'd think we needed more than two at this stage.

 

[indiaholic]

Vijay wac.

 

[Burner]

Maybe Pujara was just relieved that he was out? What with run rate fiasco and all.

 

[artvandalay]

Adharmasena strikes again.

 

[Howe_zat]

He's still unlucky to cop a decision like that in the first place though. Pitching outside should be the one thing the umpire can always get right.

 

[Pothas]

You'd think we needed more than two at this stage.

Yeah and we easily could have done so, could easily be 3 or 4 by now.

I was thinking three down at tea minimum. But still, the back of my head begs, it's nearly minimum...

That ball from Moeen that kept really low was encouraging, especially given the bounce that Rashid's finding at the other end.

But we need pretty much everything to go our way after tea.

Things like this always make me wonder why umpires don't call for the video umpire themselves. Like they do with run outs.

Digging in my memory....... I think I remember Rudi Koertzen sending LBW-decisions upstairs during that horrendous 20-20-for-20 involving that American criminal.

 

[GIMH]

I agree with Pothas. There's another twist in this one yet.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

All about the Rash. He picks up a couple the Indians will be nervous coming out to bat. Might even fit in more than 31 overs with 2 spinners on all session.

 

[vcs]

Kohli doesn't inspire any confidence at all in me in a situation like this. Hope he can buckle down for a few overs here and prove me wrong.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

So who thought yesterday when Ashwin was reducing our lead that India would be battling to survive with men crowded round the bat?

 

[fredfertang]

Kohli should go for glory imo

 

[OverratedSanity]

I'm not particularly confident.

 

[Shri]

Time to accept that England play spin better than our guys. At least on roads.
