3rd Test (Lord’s) - 10 July to 14 July

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Root is a pro at the "I might not be playing a shot but I'll make it look like I am "thing. Low key vital skill to have on uneven decks.

Yeah that LB he certainly wasn'y fully committed to a shot, bat hiding behind pad. Was a goner if there was a more trigger-happy umpire involved.

 

[Agonizingly Awkward]

This was tough but Jurel is dropping/giving byes too many to be considered a great keeper as some here keep saying.

 

[Darwin Award]

How many times has England had 4 byes come time & time again already in this short innings?

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Jurel almost as ordinary as Pant... He's given away a ton load of byes. Terrible.

Please, are you even watching what's going through?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Bowling has been great in this spell. Root and stokes doing a decent job surviving this but getting some nice doses of luck too.

 

[ashley bach]

Root not looking his normal self atm

 

[cnerd123]

Harsh on Jurel, some of those byes would have gone through any keeper. Pant is really good on leg side takes though.

 

[silentstriker]

If India don’t get any wickets this session, they should bowl like six overs an hour after tea. Just complete the ruination of this game for everyone involved.

I mean it also wasn’t hitting the stumps which is kind of important

It's been compelling watching.

If someone is gonna hide their bat behind the pad, thats straight away "not playing a shot" territory. Should be given. But these umpires are dumb as we have seen all match, they will say its still a shot.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

25 byes. Go on lad double it.

 

[GIMH]

Umpires getting far too much grief in this thread

Just crap at anything else

I am watching. Watch England afterwards and they will not give even half as many byes. Jurel is struggling with the ball keeping low.

4 out of the 5 byes have been balls swinging way down leg. Only one that went past Root on the drive which he was late on.

 

[slowfinger]

was it really that hard for our top 4 to bat just like this? why do we need to be 4 down at this stage? this kind of batting any of those batsmen could have done

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

No they couldn't?

 

[Johan]

Brook threw it away, Pope/Crawley are simply bad, Duckett threw it away

 

[centurymaker]

Luck has been with England this session. And Indian pacers are all tired now and game in England's favour.
