***Official*** England in India 2016/17

[OverratedSanity]

90/4 still isn't a terrible position though. Especially considering the depth they have. I'd be pleased if we restricted them to below 275 or so.

Way to throw away winning such a crucial toss England. India will be looking to bat once.

 

[Pothas]

Well that was terrible batting, we are actually lucky to be in the position we are.

Pathetic session that. We have gifted 3 wickets away which I can't see the likes of Kohli or Pujara doing in return.

No idea what a good score will be but we need to bat the day out at least to make sure the pitch is harder to bat on by the time India bat.

Nah, England still have a fair bit of batting depth, Buttler, Woakes and Rashid to come. India's session but they need to keep going, and they really need to get these 2 early after lunch.

Yeah I'd definitely take 275 if given.

Indeed. It could have and should have been much worse.

If Clouderson doesn't wreck us for a low total, I'll be pleased.

I'd say India's session, because any time you're giving their fast bowlers wickets, you make it really hard to win the match in India due to the obnoxious amount of turn available from Day 1 onwards.

Yep, definitely an obnoxious amount of turn available so far...

Time for focus on Mumbai. We are 2-0 down with two remaining. Need a tangible change in mentality and technique if by some miracle we are to square the series.

I think there isn't much difference in the amount of turn compared to the previous test but the turn is slightly quicker without being a bunsen.

Is there any place to watch the Verdict live?

Sky sports 2 I think, though the links I've tried haven't worked for whatever reason lol.

Brand new ball on Day 1 shouldn't be turning, let alone as much as it already has.

This will become a bunsen by Day 3.

TIL Cricketing discussion including whether or not India continues to prepare doctored wickets to suit their attack is considered trolling, rather than reality.
