India v England 3rd Test Rajkot


Bazball at its worst this morning. Giving away wickets. If root wants to carry on being a twat ramping bumrah he should be dropped
 
Kuldeep is superb imo. Like others I can’t understand Root playing like he does when he has always scored loads of runs at a good rate but no issue with anyone else. There is the finest line between the 200 for 2 yesterday and today. Yesterday we scored at 6 an over Crawley was out off a sweep and he pkayed dozens of sweeps and reverse sweeps and pulls any of which come with risk.Rough with the smooth
 
Disappointing session but could have been worse. Just hope we can get as close to parity as possible and give them an awkward third innings.
 
Pitch is alot tougher to bat on then yesterday, Yadav and Bumrah bowled superbly, Stokes having a bit of luck getting through that pair....will have to find a way again straight after lunch otherwise we will be facing a 100+ defecit.
Really need parity, ideally needed a decent lead but that would take a huge partnership from thi pair.
 
Need Stokes to go big from here and have the others chip in. Ahmed, Hartley and Woody can all bat. Hopefully get as close as possible to parity.

We’ve done well when you think Root and Bairstow haven’t showed up.

50 or 60 short would be a real bonus for me but I can't see us getting there as I think we are only 1 wicket away from a collapse. I hope I'm wrong, like. Off to bed again now....
