Bazball has been very consistent this inning (give or take a run or two) … 40/4, 50/5, 60/6, 70/7, 80/8, 90/9 ..

The wheels have rather come off the last two days. You could say they were out-Bazballed!

Got the batting flop in the wrong innings!!! Thought we were due one

 

[Mudball]

Bumrah out of the fourth test.... India seems to be a bit of a revolving door at the moment. But also seem to have a lot of young talent knocking on that door too.

Nice to see another shocking pitch “prepared” by India

Looks like a WACA pitch … or the potholes on Surrey roads

On the plus side.. good to see Root do what Root should be doing … Roooooooooo

I’ll reserve judgment on the pitch until both sides have batted on it, but it certainly looks a shocker.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

At least India have to bat last on it. As long as England can put a half decent total together batting last should be a great equaliser.

Another example of why leaving out Foakes, best keeper in England, to play 'an extra batsman' is right up there on the list of stupid decisions by cricket selectors. Time and time again he shows himself to be a very solid player with the bat. It wont stop it from happening again, sadly.

I think the pitch has taken bazball out of the equation

I blame you for that

Still a knock that steadied the ship, just what was required.
