England V India Test Match Series 2021

Great toss to lose, generally it will swing in the morning session, so the first hour will be important tomorrow. Great job by the openers, but conditions were better to bat. Hameed looked more like Sehwag in comparison to Sibley, in reality, he was just batting at a steady Test Match tempo. Plenty of quick singles from the pair, showing the importance of turning the strike over.
Looking further ahead, I hope England don't rue their selection. If the pitch goes flat, which can happen, we have no X-Factor bowler, Mahmood may well have provided that. I'm not sure Curran's 78 mph swing fits the bill. Something is wrong when your quickest bowler is 39 years of age.

RooOOOoot

Well england got past the 400 mark,worrying middle order stutters. Thak goodness for Root, top four did well now we need contributoons from buttler, bairstow,ali and curren.
423/8 should win this one especially if they can add 20/30 tomorrow morning.

400 should be more than enough to set up a win and series decider
Jimmy Anderson should be England player of the series for sure

Would be good if it was Anderson but it will be Joe Root . A knighthood for both for carrying english cricket.

It's raining this morning.

England on 423-8. Should they have declared when they reached 400 and put India back in for a few overs. Should they declare this morning.

England are probably being over defensive and will want to bat as long as possible.

The pitch isn't doing much, bat on, only declare if the scoring rate drops. India will put up a fight, they are more than capable of batting themselves into a lead.

Well that didn’t last long

all out??

A great mornings performance produces a great win to level the series.
England win by an innings and 76 runs.

England look a better team with Overson and Malian in the team, and Robinson has made himself an ever present.
