4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

[LangleyburyCCPlayer]

Definite broken foot that, thoughts and prayers!

 

[silentstriker]

Two tests in a row Jurel will keep

 

[SkyBlue]

Damn, hope he recovers but I think that's the series for us. Can't see us coming back from this.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

India's day this by a long way.

Two tests in a row Jurel will keep

Hopefully he does better than he did at Lords.

 

[SkyBlue]

If he is ruled out of this test, can Jurel bat?

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

If he is ruled out of this test, can Jurel bat?

I hope so. That is a concussion of the foot for sure.

 

[kevinw]

What a silly way to get injured.

 

[Daemon]

Pant concussed from the pain, get Jurel in

 

[Daemon]

If he is ruled out of this test, can Jurel bat?

Nah, just keep

I joked about it, but it looked pretty innocuous

 

[jaydesh]

I hope so. That is a concussion of the foot for sure.

To clarify, would that be allowed under the rules for injured players?

 

[SkyBlue]

Nah, just keep

Yeah, thought so. We're playing with 10 batsmen for the rest of the game then.

England's already won this test from here. This is a huge psychological boost for them.

 

[Alex0paul]

Ridiculous slice of fortune going England’s way again. Why on earth are subs still not allowed is beyond me

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

To clarify, would that be allowed under the rules for injured players?

My guess is no. Pant should've been holding his head instead of hobbling on his foot.

 

[cnerd123]

Very impressive temperament from Sai. Grinded it out. Well earned fifty, now double it.

 

[mackembhoy]

Rehan Ahmed with 115 and 6/48 so for for Leicestershire.

Maybe England called up the wrong spinner

Tbf Pant also has played a few high risk shots. Sweeping Archer for 4 and had he missed that, he would've probably ended up with a broken chin. Anyone remember Mal Loye?

But yeah, very lucky to 'break the partnership' and this could probably swing the game in their favour.

 

[Daemon]

I noticed that - old school

Same with his backlift. Rarely see players with the bat down approach these days.

Reminds me of David Gower back in the day with some of his flicks through the leg side as well.
