Partnership between Curran/Ali/Broad proving to be costly for India

Moin will out bowl Ashwin in both the innings... and out bat too...

Moeen bhai always destroys us, no surprises there.

[zen]

Pant should not be batting above Pandya, who is one of the top 3 batsmen in this series. Others being Kohli and Pujara

Ashwin is another case of Golden Boy of ICF. Overweight and lethargic.

[abc]

Missing Saha yet?

[philcric]

Not particularly wrong decisions but India slightly unlucky with close umpiring decisions both yesterday and today.

And some icfers were thinking of 400 and outbatting England out of the game 

3 tests in saf and 2 tests here weren't enough to understand that this batting unit sucks barring kohli and maybe a couple of freak shows from one of the top order guys

why does Pant have to play like a slowpoke. Play your natural game. Playing this long for 0 is just waste of precious life minutes. I will still persist with him and give him some advance to be positive. 

 

This is going from bad to worse. Phuck de India. Har Har Mahadev!!

[ThePhenomenal1]

Give pant time its his second test.

He only struck form last game and this game. He was pathetic before that. Sure management screwed him up a little but he was out of form before that and also had a disastrous county season where even Ishant and Ashwin did better than him.

 

So in a way good for team management to back him atleast recently

He has been our best batter after Kohli. Also in the 2nd test, he was run out by Kohli. Not really his fault. But yeah our batting standards are quite low these days. Dhawan being called the best opener after scoring only 20's and 30's is proof of that.

Why did the Indian batsmen go in shell when a wicket falls. Didn’t expect this from Pant.Was Kohli or Shastri in his ears ?

Exactly  what was Pant trying to do playing out session when only one delivery is needed to send you back thats what Happened ironically it was the last over before tea,he gave the bowlers to bowl at him at their desired lengths ,Pant cant defend when it's not his domain

Extremely disappointed with Pant,0(30)

Huge supporter of him but has never delivered in international matches....im disappointed

This is second test match!!!!! Don't be like those cheap 50 cents trolls.

I suspect Pant was advices to play like this...

[zen]

"Well, well. England hit back with a third wicket in the session, right on the stroke of tea - and Rishabh Pant, having got off the mark in Test cricket with a six, now equals the India record for longest Test duck (in terms of balls faced). England's lead is just 63 but they have chipped away, despite most of India's top six getting in; Cheteshwar Pujara is the only one who is still in, leading the fight with a gutsy 70, which included taking a blow full on the bonce. He is India's chief hope of getting a first-innings lead. "

Well that's how you play one over before tea. Something about this Ali fellow. We can't get him out or bat against him. Theres something. Maybe out batters are still in shock from 2014 tour.

[Laaloo]

Just have to get a lead here. Bat sensibly. And take singles. Pujara needs to get a 100 and we need a 30-40 from pandya/Ashwin.
