🏏 India vs England, 4th Test-- JSCA Stadium Complex, Ranchi 🏏 - Page 18

Emaad Wali: That is such a timely wicket for India. This partnership could've really taken the game away in this session. Foakes was looking to take the attack to India while Root was making sure that he safeguards one end but Siraj has done it again for India just when India badly needed him to deliver.

"Its a blessing in disguise as India don't have to bat tomorrow morning with moisture assisting England pacers." You're betting against a funky declaration then, Shiva?

Badhat: "Not only great to see Root get some runs but also to see how he's done it, not a high percentage of boundaries but running the ones and twos, keeping the strike going. Good reminder that England need him as the centre of the team, and the one player that needs to take the fewest chances as allows the rest to play their more natural game"

Here's Rohan: "Bumrah resting is criminal for two reasons...a: We got their best batsman confidence and into form specially when he was struggling so much against Bumrah! and b: Rohit Sharma lost the toss and we will be batting last!" Not sure the selection can be blamed for the latter!

"No Bumrah today and Root got to a century. Bumrah prevented several Root centuries this series. Fair to say?" I'm sure he won't sue you for libel for saying it, Ranjeet Rain

Roby Stephen: "A score of 325 to 350 looks likely with the resilience and class of Root standing in the middle and experienced campaigners like Jimmy Anderson to follow"

"A severe outbreak of sensible cricket from England," muses Mark. "They have assessed the conditions and adapted to them. Ollie Robinson and Jimmy Anderson must like the thought of the New Ball on this pitch. 300 would get very interesting."

Take a BOW..Joe Root.

Form is temperory, CLASS IS PERMENANT 👍

It looks like they're going to take the test to the last innings for winning this series hoping for India to not bundle up what has been achieved till now.
