Akash Deep to Stokes, no run, goes wide of the crease and gets the ball to jump up from a length at 135ks, Stokes was looking to fend but the extra bounce defeated him there. Past the outside edge.

Eng--100/ 4

Rahul: "That would've been a regulation one if keeper was back. Doesn't make sense." The objective of having the keeper up is to deny batters playing outside the crease, trying to negate sideways movement

Miyaan one more wk plz

Punya: "Time for some spin?" Think both these bowlers will get three or four at least

Pankaj: "17 byes already in this innings and 11 in the first for India as against only 3 for England. What am I missing?" A few have swung down leg

Rocky: "Where is Bazzball? Whatever happened to would break but not bend approach?" There have been tweaks after the last game. They have taken a few more chances this innings because the pitch has gotten spicier

munaim : "28 overs and the ball still moves pretty surprised isn't it." There haven't been ball changes, which in itself is a big deal

Rahul: "That would've been a regulation one if keeper was back. Doesn't make sense." The objective of having the keeper up is to deny batters playing outside the crease, trying to negate sideways movement

hippu: "Towards the end of India's innings, commentators were mentioning the possibility of the pitch being slow and the ball gripping. But no spin so far in India's bowling attack! Any clue?" From what I can tell, it's changed overnight.

The ball hit the England skipper on the wrong part of his body. Jadeja walks up to check on him. Stokes is lying flat on the floor and will take a minute or two to compose himself. Siraj uses the round the wicket angle to dart this in from a length and it didn't bounce as much as Stokes anticipated
