1st Test (Leeds) - 20th June

[Johan]

With this kind of bowling support, Bumrah will have to pull off a Hadlee or a Murali if India are to have any chance of winning even one match in this series.

He can pull a Bumrah BGT 2024 but I don't think he will

 

[OverratedSanity]

This is kinda the worst case scenario right now. We're probably going to lose by 6-7 wickets or something and the team management will look at these wanked wickets by Prasidh and retain him for the next game.

 

[slowfinger]

50 runs per wicket sucks arse.

I think the only really disappointing thing about this pitch is its lack of degradation, especially for spin

Jadeja should probably be turning it around corners by now

 

[slowfinger]

That was a very good delivery to Pope to be fair, but he has a habit of making a ball look unplayable

 

[Johan]

Jaffa

 

[Molehill]

Krishna maybe expensive, but he's producing by far the most dangerous deliveries too.

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

He likes to buy his wickets dear

We're still.playing in Headingly right not Mumbai?

 

[RightArmMystery]

People memeing on him here but this has been a genuinely good spell of bowling. Out-bowling Bumrah at the other end

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Come on England.

 

[Stapel]

Krishna doing things right!
Have things changed, after the rain break?
Crawley's wicket had away swing. Pope's wicket nipped back in of the pitch. And 46.3 to Root was unplayable, again coming in a lot of the pitch.

 

[SkyBlue]

Bumrah's lengths haven't been very good today

 

[jaydesh]

Krishna maybe expensive, but he's producing by far the most dangerous deliveries too.

Meaningless without control, though. Going at more than 6-7 runs an over is not on at this level, Jaffas or not. And his pace is roughly on par with Stuart Broad, so nothing express.

You can only keep a good man down for so long.

your not allowed to have good batting wickets any more

 

[OverratedSanity]

Bumrah's been pretty flat this innings. Guy's mortal after all.

 

[slowfinger]

bumrah looks tired

 

[slowfinger]

wish there was a DLS for test matches ffs

Well India need wickets and he's the only person who looks like he could get one. That was a really poor over from Bumrah, he looks done for the day.

 

[slowfinger]

surely you can't be blowing the trumpet like that during the run up ffs
