Both debutant played well in thier first test, Jurel neede only 4 runs to get to his furst half century. He missed it an he still has a second innings to get another. Brilliant effort by the tail batters they added good runs to the Indian scoreboard. It won't be that easy for the English batters to chase 445 runs. They will need a good innings and a big partnership to get those runs. Indian bowling attack would prevent them in getting those runs as they did last time.

Well this time the pitch is completely batting friendly so We can't take them for granted.

As usual openers started attacking early and if they manage to survive without losing wickets for the first 10 overs then they are going to be in the crease for very long time. I hope Bumrah will do the magic here too that can make things difficult for them apart from that it's gonna be a run feast.

In the 3rd Test match, India batted brilliantly on the first day, and they came to the second day and scored 445 runs losing all wickets. England have given the team a target of 445 runs but there is a long way to go to achieve this target and it looks like it will be very difficult for the team to achieve this target. If India can put up a good bowling performance against England today, they can easily put the team under pressure and fight for the win. Also on the second day as the England team comes out to bat and if they play well from the start then they will be able to achieve their target. Although two matches of the Test match have been completed and both teams have won one match each, the game is currently tied but the third match is most likely to be won by India. However, if England manage to complete the target of 445 runs and give them a big lead, it will surely be difficult for both the teams to win.

From 33/3 to 445 runs, that's amazing! It's a remarkable comeback, with fantastic performances from Rohit, Jadeja, Sharfaraz, and Jurel contributing to India's big total in their first innings.
At the same time Mark Wood deserves credit for his tremendous effort. Without him, England might be in a much worse position in the match. He bowled really well yesterday and today. Now, let's see how England perform with the bat. Hopefully, this match will have a result on the 5th day.

Didn't expect India to close the inning at 445, Bumrah played really well and fast too, he could come at early position at place of Kuldeep. India will be really happy with the score, also there is doubt if Siraj will bowl today due to knee injury he received.

Would have been lit if Jurel made fifty, would have been mighty motivator for debutant, missed by just four runs.

Brilliant effort in the end, tail did wag for India. Things could've been better but the Indian camp wouldn't be too disappointed with this scoreline.

It's 440 because England were awarded 5 runs already. After all, Jadeja and Ashwin were a bit naughty and the former was touching the danger area quite regularly. The penalty for such an offense should be higher than 5 runs IMO.

After the brilliant 61 runs in 66 balls by Sarfaraz Khan the runs have dried down so much that it might take a whole day for India to get to 400 runs. I didn't understand the need to put Kuldeep Yadav before Jurel he wasn't going to do anything. Jurel and Ashwin are still batting but runs are not coming as they were yesterday. I think after India reaches 400 runs and if wickets are in hand then Rohit can declare the innings. The wicket is now looking friendly for spinners and Indian spin attack would love to bowl on it.

The batting performance of the Indian team on the first day was huge for them. But no one had planned for India's poor batting performance on the second day. The England team had a great bowling performance today which easily put the Indian batsmen under pressure and India lost wickets quickly. At the moment, India's collection of 357 runs with the loss of 7 wickets, if they can hold on to the wickets, maybe over 400 runs on the second day.

India well played so far in this test match their current score is 388/7 on day two at the end of season one. India's team will look to score a 400-plus total in the First inning against England. D. Jurel and R. Ashwin are playing together after a partnership of more than 50 plus runs. England's team didn't bowl well Mark Wood only successful English bowler who took three wickets. England needs to break that partnership and All out India team to under 400 runs to come in this test game.

Jurel looking better than I expected, certainly a better choice than Bharat. We are seeing some proper test cricket being played by Ashwin Jurel, also gotta give applause to Stokes for how he plays with the field, and how he tries to bait the batters.

India is at 380 right now, minimum 400 is on cards, I stick with 400 despite 3 wickets left because I feel after 1 wickets falls from, there won't be much run increase — defend, defend and out.

Jimmy Anderson hasn't had much success, only 1 wicket so far, may be due to pressure to reach 700 wickets, or is it not-so helpful pitch?

It's a batting track with a bit of bounce and reverse swing but atm the ball is not reversing so can't blame Jimmy much. Stokes captaincy and his unorthodox field setup manufactured a fair amount of wickets in this series so he has been proactive, one of the reasons they keep getting penalty points in almost every match because of poor over rates so it's a double edge sword unless you don't care about the points at all.

Crucial partnership but they need to be greedy and keep moving forward and the pitch will remain the same for tomorrow so need all extra cushion for the bowlers.

Your predictions about Jadeja are always spot on. You read him perfectly. He really needs to work on that particular weakness of his.

His batting pattern is open book and he's already 35 so i don't think he has any time left to work on it. The best he can do is work on his running calls, he should know that other players are not as quick as him.

As usual, Jadeja didn't bother the scoreboard much and got out. He followed the typical Jaddu script, go not out by the end of the day and gift your wicket the next day early in the morning.

I hope it's not a repeat of 1st inning of the first match, where India handed out the advantage to Poms by losing 5 wickets cheaply. The tail needs to wag today, wishful thinking.

Also, India is in a great position at the moment thanks to the middle order and bottom order scoring crucial runs. Jurel and Ashwin are making sure that India cross the 400 line mark which I feel is pretty competitive.

I think the Indian team did a great job batting on the first day. They showed their skills and it looked like they were going to do well in the whole match. But the second day was not good. The Indian team didn't bat well and it was disappointing. According to the current situation if India can manage to hold on to their wickets they have the potential to reach a score of over 400 runs on the second day. And now they have made 364 runs and still lost 7 wickets.

New Zealand playing 2nd test in their land at Seddon Park stadium against South Africa. 1st innings already end and 2nd innings is running. In 1st innings SA has scored 242 runs and NZ has scroed 211 runs. And in 2nd innings, SA has scored 235 runs where they played worst but David Bedingham(110) save them by his century. Besides till now NZ has scored 40-1. And they still need 227 runs to win. in 1st innings, both team performed brilliantly. Due to good bowling, both team have done kind of similar runs, but not even able to crossed 300 runs. So 227 runs may sound easy for NZ of they can hold their top wickets cause their all-rounder and bowling weren't perform well in 1st innings. But Tom Latham, Kane Williamson, Rachin Ravindra could change the game in their flavor anytime

The performance of the Indian team at the beginning of the game was really disappointing as they lost 3 wickets for 33 runs. But later managed to score again and the team turned around, Rohit Sharma's excellent batting performance brought the team back to good form again. For Sarfaraz Khan it must have felt as he was run out he would have made a bigger score if he had stayed in the team. However Ravindra Jadeja scored a great century but if he survives the second day he can be expected to score more runs. If India can hold on to the early going, it looks certain to average 430/450 runs, which is certainly possible if Ravindra Jadeja is at the crease.

Still two batters yet to bat and Ash can hang on long too and the wicket look amazing for run scoring so I would say India need to score as much as they can and atleast for two sessions then the score will close to 480.

Jaddu has the capability too but can he survive the morning? And he should and just fades away the run out if he scores big daddy runs in this innings.

Test match between South Africa and New Zealand has entered into decisive mode, tomorrow we defiantly have a winner for sure. South Africa got some advantage in the first inning due to superb bowling but there batsmen once again fail to extend the lead. NZ need 267 to win the test and they are 40/1 at the end of day 3. Chances are that New Zealand will win this and South Africa only hope is if they repeat how they bowl in first innings.

IMO now Jaddu needs to score Sarfraz's runs as well and not throw his wicket in the morning, which he's famous for.

The way Sarfraz was playing, I don't think Jadeja can make up for it.

Yeah, tough cookie for Jadeja but he should try and must add another 60 runs to his tally. In this series, he already has ran out 2 (Ash, Sarfraz and himself) of his teammates in just 2 matches, which cost 70-100 runs to India.

The pitch is looking flat atm and with the BAZBALL we can count on England to bat aggressively so need 150 runs more.

After the initial fumble, India managed to recover to 326/5 from 33/3. As said 440–450 looks like the par score and anything above needed and with deep batting lineup its possible but only thing is they need to survive the first 10 overs in the morning then the runs will starts flowing.

Really felt for Sarfraz, because he was dominating but it happens though.

Apart from the run out, Jadeja's batting skill helped India too, which we should not forget.

The performance of the Indian team at the beginning of the game was really disappointing as they lost 3 wickets for 33 runs. But later managed to score again and the team turned around, Rohit Sharma's excellent batting performance brought the team back to good form again.
