Ananya: "Stoksey keeps changing the field even for No. 10 and 11."

Shiva: "If India doesn't start scoring in this session all the attrition in the morning session will go down the drain." Not necessarily as England will bat last on a deteriorating pitch. Runs are important of course

Prasanna S: "Irrespective of the score, India almost ticked the first box - Bat at least 5 sessions after winning the toss. They are poised to bat till tea if these two carry on with their business with heads fold, then no matter what the score is India did their job with the bat. "

Rehan Ahmed to Bumrah, FOUR, brilliant cricket from Bumrah! He's picking the right balls to attack, tossed up full on off-stump, in the slot again an he pumped it over mid-on who was halfway up

Ind-- 430/9

Next ball too he scored 4 runs.

India--434/9

Shiva: "Jurel has shown great character by curbing his natural instincts for the team's cause. " Fair comment but please don't spam

Two 4 s by Bumrah 💙

Useful runs for India...

Everton : "How unlucky is Hartley!!!!"

Srividya : "Ollie Pope was dropped twice at Hyderabad. He seems to be firm on returning the favor !!!"

Anikesh : "Given the lack of experience in the side and the willingness/compulsion to field in debutants throughout the series, I think it was a golden opportunity for India to play someone like Umraan Malik in a role similar to that of Mark wood. If we have to play two seamers, the second seamer anyway doesn't bowl more than 10-15 overs in an innings. This was the opportunity. We need an out and out fast bowler to turn things around when the wicket becomes flat. "

Jairam: "@ Anikesh, You cannot select Umran ahead of the those who have performed better in the Ranji Trophy in the last two year. That would appear unjust."

Rohit Sharma has a smile on his face, seemingly impressed and amused at how his tailenders are batting. Got to say, it's been good smart batting from these two and they're not particularly known for their batting
