Usman is a good Noman Chachu replacement 

[Lone Wolf]

Catching practice was given by Brook... Agha g lol

[Lone Wolf]

England are taking it too lightly I think... They better be ruthless here.  

Brook almost guided that one to Agha

[Lord]

Innings defeat loading

If he thinks he is struggling he will switch tactic.

Unlikely but min 150 lead England should looking for.  Current lead is 42. 

[Lone Wolf]

Khurram bowls 125-130kph... No real skill with the seam.. all seam up deliveries.

Idk why he is playing over Ubaid

[Norman]

Lol remember this Lawrence guy from that 2021 England tour where he was a proper tail ender.

[Lone Wolf]

Mukesh Kumar was same .. gun barrel straight but a yard quicker than Khurram at least 

[Laaloo]

Atleast not a 100 @Laaloo

Hope England make 500 and not bat again

[vvvslaxman]

They have keeper up Brook. Brook is standing outside anyway lol.

[Manucrick]

England likely to get 150 lead max 

[Lone Wolf]

This Lawrence has good awful technique... Why did they pick this guy?

Higher ranked teams always fall into the trap of taking lower ranked sides lightly much like Australia did England needs to be extremely careful  but luckily the Indian team is terrified of Sri Lankan spinners  so there's no chance we take them lightly.

now even the Pakistani are doing it,we need Pant to practice keeping up for Siraj.

Rob Key talent identification has been a complete hit-or-miss circus, and backing mediocre punts like Emilio Gay just proves how reckless England's selection policy is

Siraj bounce is still nasty

Australia didn't take BD lightly... BD beat them on pure skill and took full advantage of the conditions and a washed Aus batting unit.  All the wickets they took were out of pure graft and strategy.  Batting wise the left hander was supremely good and so was Shanto.

 

England is not a top side but they are not a ruthless test side.. kinda like India these days
