4th Test, India Vs England at Southampton on 30th August 2018 at 3.30pm IST.

Issue is on this pitch when it's easier to bat, having 4 pacers is vital.

 

If one fails the workload on the other 3 increases. It's too early to bring the spinner on but India has no other option.

Can’t stand this Curran..Eng should not be allowed to score 200...

Even if Eng bats 20-30 overs,  Ind would have to bat for an hour today and then again in bowler friendly first session tomorrow, so it could potentially lose 5-7 wkts before the 2nd session on Day 2

Should have continued with Shami one more over before bringing Ashwin in. 

[Vilander]

Eng wont cross 140.

Rather see Ind bowl then suffer from seeing its wkts falling left, right and center .... Anderson could go past McGrath in this test

Why the eff are pandya and bumrah bowling over the wicket. Bowl around the wicket and cramp them for room. Especially pandya.

Older ball, if they see Bumrah and Ishanth off then they have a chance of crossing 150. Shami needs a breather and likely Pandya will come back again after tea, England will wait for that.

 

Unless Ashwin does something on a day 1 pitch!

"leaking runs" brigade is under pressure

Curran facing Bumrah for the first time!

I think England are in a bit of a pickle

Even if Eng gets bowled out, it has the opportunity to go at India in relatively good bowling conditions, i.e. last hour today and 1st session tomorrow. So can potentially pick up 5-7 wkts in 3 hours

seems like Curran repeating first test.  he has Moeen to accompany this time.

[sandeep]

I'm hoping for a 150+ lead, but need to get England wrapped up below 180 for that.  You can bat on this track once you get in.  Openers will be key.  If they do well, I can easily see us putting up a 400 here.

This pair closing in on a 50 run partnership!

 

21 off that off Pandya's 2 overs!!

[zen]

First 6 of the inning
