Bumrah the modern Hadlee, carrying this attack but can’t bowl long spells and big overs. India going to have to manage him carefully

Hook shot, flew lowish straight to fielders mitts lol

This is poms second rate pace attack, they have quite a few out injured...🙂



Mark Wood: "I'm not too far away now; maybe the last game of the series I can try and aim for. That's at the forefront of my mind."

Archer, however, appears to be the closest to a return, with England national selector Luke Wright suggesting earlier this month he could even feature in the second Test against India at Edgbaston from July 2.


Bowler Gus Atkinson is a doubt for the first Test against India later this month because of a right hamstring strain - adding to England's injury concerns among their seamers.

The 27-year-old was injured during the one-off Test against Zimbabwe last month and was subsequently ruled out of the ongoing one-day international series against West Indies.

It had been hoped the paceman would be fit for the series opener against India at Headingley on 20 June but it is understood he is struggling to regain fitness.

Pant edges one straight to first slip when he was in his 20s

Problem is, there were no slips lol. Thought poms play positive cricket?

2 balls later Stokes puts in a permanent 1st slip in

Damage being done

Pant 75*
Rahul 92*

Ind 3/219
lead 225

Ive heard pom commentators say India lost 7/41 in the first innings regularly for the last two hrs...
