Top order batted like morons and made their bowling look better.

Wait till Axar bowls.

 

I doubt it though. England are demoralized. This is a beating on Day 2.

No ,Bess bowled utter crap

England were already a bowler short and one of the regulars sucked with ball

Root will only succeed in some particular days , can't bank on him every day

Leach is turning it square still

Exactly..Andersdon bowled 19 overs for 19 runs..WTF. He wasnt bowling grenades.

[vvvslaxman]

wow went to sleep at tea with no hopes. Lefties have turned the game on its head !! Hatsoff.  

[nitinbwj]

Eng are shellshocked. More than 130 runs have been scored at an astonishing strike rate this session.This when India batted at a strike rate of 1.5 in the first session

It wasn't bad to start with. Batsmen went into their shell in the morning. The ball is spinning but not that extreme. There is good bounce for the bowlers. Hopefully tomorrow there will be something more when India bowl.

England bowlers got tired and mentally given up

[nitinbwj]

Axar,Pant,Sundar all play spin comfortably.Wonder what Pujara sees in them.

[SRT100]

If India can get close to 125 to 150 run lead from here, Im not sure they will bat again.

 

Mentally, England are broken.

 

Psychologically, England lost the game when Pant tore them apart.

That was criminal.He should have been hit out the attack from ball one.

[AuxiliA]

Stokes has bowled 22 overs in this innings till now. Second most in the match after Axar's 26.

 

Monumental effort in this heat. He's England's MVP for sure. 

[nitinbwj]

Anderson and new ball has been rendered ineffective courtesy the Pant reverse sweep and 4s of him.He is scared now.

England were in the match when Pant arrived. His innings is the difference in this match, the series and the berth into the WTC Final.

First good ball by Bess

[QuarantineTormentino]

Okay turn is back now

[GautiMaan]

I'm glad that Pant played that reverse sweep of Andu,should bring the Anderson bandwagon back to earth

[QuarantineTormentino]

Thank god the pitch isn’t getting flatter

[nitinbwj]

That's the difference between a brave and timid approach.Eng was all over India in the morning.Lots of chirping,men around the bat,wickets tumbling.Pant and Sundar counter punched them to submission
