Bumrah bowled well in his first spell of 5 overs .... in good areas with pace, bounce and seam movement 
 
Ashwin bowled well .... got turn and bounce 
 
Pandya was ok as a support bowler
 
BUT
 
Shami was poor .... no intensity or pace or accuracy 
 
Ishant bowled too many leave-able balls as usual  ....  and at less than full pace

 

Ishant is doing the holding Job.He Got From inside edge.

 

In tests, holding job and taking wickets can go hand in hand

African bowlers could also find it tough.

Ishant bowling better after lunch

 

Making batsmen play much more and lots of 138 k to 142 k balls

I guess Africans did the double bluff... 

As jonty says we are behind Africa.. They want to draw and we need to win. 

 

This match could end up as a draw. 

India has a solid keeper batsman too so good 8 batsman.. I don't see India loosing on this pitch with Parthiv as additional batsman.

Bumrah getting predictable with short stuff. Try to mix the length

[express bowling]

India trying the multiple short-ball tactic now , with no movement on offer 

 

Bumrah bowls 6 rising short balls last over

 

Markram could have been out in 2 or 3 of those balls on another day ..... edged twice and looked uncomfortable

144 k

143 k

142 k

141 k

 

Good line and length and some bounce

[rkt.india]

They are trying too hard and losing discipline. Discipline is the key on this pitch.

[express bowling]

Shami 7th over

 

144 k

140 k

133 k

136 k

132 k

142 k

 

good line and length again 

 

[express bowling]

One thing I have noticed   ...... this bunch of Indian pacers bowl a better line and length when they bowl quick

 

That means they are naturally quick .... and not in rhythm when they are bowling slower.

 

A pacer is most accurate when bowling at his normal speed and in rhythm.

I don't think it was exhaustion. He had some neck issue

Yes he had a neck issue but he should not have played himself.

His performance will make kohli dump him in next match.
