[Nintendo]

Fielding was poor, but england also bowled rubbish. Way too short

An Akashdeep 66 has many fathers

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

There is bat deep...and then there is Akash Deep

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

So pitch has become road i fear what will happen to our bowlers on this road bowling to bazballers

They'll probably be fine tbh.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That's plumb

Gus Fring with the blow

 

[SkyBlue]

Thats plumb

Typical Gill dismissal

 

[silentstriker]

Plumb as ****

 

[SkyBlue]

So Gill won't break Sunny G's record afterall

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The hawkeye guys are still having their lunch

 

[SkyBlue]

Ball still seaming off the pitch

England's bowlers were just crap overall in the the first session

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Kumar took too long to give that out..Maybe that prompted Gill to review, no?

 

[silentstriker]

As you’d expect, the odds shifted MASSIVELY with that wicket.

 

[SkyBlue]

240-250 with swing and seam movement would be a nice middling score to defend

 

[OverratedSanity]

He still has some real technical issues but great series from Gill

 

[King Kane]

A good start to this session for England with Gill gone first ball, no warm up ball needed for Atkinson he was straight on the money.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That's not how to play a short ball. Ricky in his heyday would have dispatched that over the square-leg boundary

 

[Spark]

Did they drop short because there’s no swing/seam movement? Haven’t watched a ball.

Still seemed enough movement to me

 

[flibbertyjibber]

We need 3 more very quickly

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I remember in the 2003 World Cup, Sachin scored the most runs, but he got out cheaply in the final, and they lost. Similarly, Gill has piled up runs in this series, but he fell cheaply in his last innings. The result of the game, however, is still wide open.

Gemphir looks like he's farting fire
