5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

[Spark]

Gwan Jurel. Too good a player to be pigeonholed as just a backup keeper.

Dhruv is in the groove

Looks proper doesn't he? Very organized.

Aside from Jaiswal, his innings in the Aus A game at the MCG on a very difficult pitch against a strong attack still stands out in my memory as the most impressed I was watching any Indian batsman in that whole tour.

up for Tongue

Batting is looking easy right now. You have to wonder what a par score is on this pitch in these conditions against a good England lineup. 300? 325? OTOH some rain is forecast for tomorrow and that may help India with overcast conditions and play stoppages. And each of their pacers has found some form so it should be an interesting battle.

Yeah he looked a cut above in the matches he played on tour out here last year

He's a genuine batting option in the lower-middle order if Pant insists on keeping. Has a more complete game than many "specialist" batsmen we keep trying out.

different emotion considering his texting style

Hope they bowl root and overton till new ball. Need score 350 by the time new ball comes

 

[govinda indian fan]

Think this last time karun might play for india. Has been bit of front foot plonker but he is best player of spin in this team. Much better then gill and rahul

England under Baz and Ben now on track for three series played versus India and Australia and zero series wins.

But muh win percentage

If Eng lose this test, it'd be their fourth consecutive series against India that England wouldn't have won. Add in the four consecutive Ashes series they haven't won. It'd be in total - EIGHT series against India and Australia that England wouldn't have won. That'd be quite a winless streak against top two rivals.

Overton bowling at 90 miles an hour

Can't fault him for the effort

Jadeja now has more runs in a Series than Tendulkar in any

He's gone ok today. Tongue's the wayward one and Atkinson's just exhausted at this point.

Especially at this time of day
