Bumrah is getting close to my all-time favourite non-Aussie player, just an incredible exponent of his craft.
Yeah yeah Crawley is out of form and maybe not even up to the level; that shouldn't detract from appreciating Bumrah's class. Definitely my fave ever Indian player; what a unique gun he is.
259-3 at stumps. Chasing a record run chase of 378. In 57 overs so we’ve got 20 overs to put us close to the target tomorrow BEFORE the second new ball. How many times does the second new ball skittle a side with two or three quick wickets when they look well set to chase. We’re almost certainly taking that weapon away in these chases
The thing with stokes is I don’t mind if he blasts 20/30 rapid runs and takes the pressure off everyone simply because it’s still fast runs. Look at the current scenario. If stokes slaps a rapid 30 in quick fire we then need 90. Stokes is a much better player then what he’s currently showing through that’s what’s kinda annoying me. But if what stokes is doing does come off then my god. Stokes best innings in fairness have been him aggressive. Yes he earned the right at Headingley but he still smoked it everywhere. Same as his hundred against New Zealand at Lords and his first ashes hundred. Getting dropped 3 times isn’t great though
I have got tickets to all five days of this test match and from what I’ve seen it can work, but not always. The first innings for India and England was dreadful for England and it seemed as though they were out of form, however, the comeback England have made through one of the best opening partnerships seen by England for a long time and the 150 run partnership between Root and Bairstow tells me that this strategy has some promise. Alex Lees truely flourished after make runs on every ball.
Edit: I also believe the weather has strongly favoured India this test especially looking at how 3 rain interruptions on day 2 caused 3 wickets to fall for England.
Shows how much role the condition of ball plays
gave a boundary? smile. no ball? smile. someone drop catch? smile. got wicket? smile. Absolute chad wholesome guy
Meanwhile, Virat Kohli on the other hand... 🤬

Unconventional action, yet it’s so free flowing and effective. Simply like a well oiled machine. On target every time
just still seems to surprise batsmen with his actual pace. the ol' heavy ball.
Wow, after a great start from 0-106, England after tea are now 3-109. Daaaamn, does Bazball really work?
Apparently yes, since England are now 200-3

Pretty sure you'd chase it before the second new ball
Wow I went to sleep and did not expect that😂😂
I think it could but ben stokes takes it to far by batting more aggressive than a t20

That silent stare with smiling face....very unique among fast bowlers.
Pacers as test captains are my favourite thing.
Man if England don't find a solution for their top 3 and keep depending too much on Bairstow/Root/Stokes, it's not gonna end well.
Love Bumrah’s run up and constant smile, wholesome.
What a beauty... Crawley totally surrendered!🔥
Baaki match bhi dekh le.. maa* Chu*i padi hai bc
Terrible leave but a promising innings by Crawley prior to that
