I haven't watched most of the post lunch session but before lunch the English were all hovering around 132 k to 138 k. 

 

Harsha said, just 3 balls above 140 k

When I watched post lunch the speeds looked decent from Overton and Tongue. High 130s. Some 140, one 143. But then slowed down. 

[MK55]

Overton 144k. Jadeja dint have control on that short ball.

[MK55]

Overton 144 143 141

Atkinson is just brisk medium. But bowls really good lengths. Gets thrashed because of lack of pace but picks wickets because of his length. 

 

Tongue can be genuine fast but often drops to fast medium or even lower when he wants to be accurate. When he is quick he just sprays the ball but bowls some real jaffas too. Is a work in progress.

 

Overton isn't really a proper specialist bowler. Can be 137 k to 143 k on occasions but drops to 130 k to 135 k often enough. And lacks both accuracy and other skills.

Another brute of a delivery from Akash. 

[express bowling]

Akashdeep bowling snorters at 140 k.

 

Hit Crawley on the biceps with the 1st one.

[express bowling]

Prasidh needs to bowl with the older ball. 

 

Can't control the new ball and is spraying it.

 

Hitting 144 k regularly but lacking zip off the deck so far.

Tongue dint really spray that much in the second innings. He’s definitely quick if he wants to be. One bowler down got them. Great prospect for LOIs.

 

Overton was a surprise. If a guy can bowl 144 143 ish in his 22nd over, he can be a 87-90 mph in LOIs easy. 

Yeah Atkinson in tests if fast medium at best.

3 or 4 now.

Yes getting better now. I’m liking this accuracy at 138-140k from AD

[MK55]

Very important that this intensity doesn’t drop one bit for this entire innings.

[Lone Wolf]

Imad Wasim and Duanne Olivier playing legends cricket lol

[express bowling]

Akashdeep hitting 140 k / 141 k regularly now. Getting zip off the deck.

 

Decent accuracy and seam movement.

 

But pitch looking flattish.
