India is in big trouble now, lost 5 wickets for 107 runs. Still trailing by 124 runs and it is not looking good as England bowlers are not allowing the Indian batters to settle. Jadeja and Iyer are batting and they are not at all looking comfortable. Tom Hartley took 4 wickets and it now looks like England are on the front seat of winning this test match. I am suprised to see that the Indian batting order has just collapsed without much efforts from England bowlers.
India lost control of their match. I don't think India can win the match. Tom Hartley has bowled brilliantly, he has already taken four wickets including Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Axar Patel. India still need 100 runs with just three wickets in hand. Srikar Bharat and Ashwin are currently batting on the pitch, I don't think they can bat for long. In the first innings it looked like England would lose this match but really they made a great comeback in the second innings.

West Indies vs Australia 1st Test Match West Indies batsmen batting brilliantly they beat Australia by 8 wickets in the first Test match Congratulations to the West Indies team.The current performance of the West Indies team is not so good, so maybe I thought that West Indies will lose the first test match against Australia by a huge margin. But due to the great performance of the West Indies team, they won the first test match against Australia.The West Indies team would be defeated by Australia by a huge margin but the West Indies' bowling and batting improved both to win the first Test series against Australia. The batsmen of the Australian team did not bat that well against the West Indies due to which the West Indies team easily won by eight wickets against Australia.
In this inning, Usman Khawaja didn't play well, and also in the first innings, he playing like Imam Ul Haq, he just wasting balls and making runs but too slow. He is missing his childhood partner David Warner.
All the players missing David Warner but they also won but not with the beauty that David Warner was giving, the new players of Australia trying to play like David Warner and want to become a David Wanrer but David Warner is David Warner no one can come in the replacement of him. He is only one and now his era is finished. All the players play the test like a test but he is the only one who plays the test like T20.

The 26-year-old Ollie Pope of the England team scored 196 runs. Best performance for England team but unfortunately he could not score a double century. Because after he got out other batsmen got out. Now the batsmen of Indian team started batting in the second innings today, already 4 wickets down for Indian team. Now Rahul stands as the strongest batsman at the crease, if he gets out then the batsmen in the main phase will run out of strength. England team's bowling performance is so good today that it seems more likely to win in the second innings. If England's bowling can break the partnership of Shreyas Iyer and Rahul then I think it is possible for England to win today.
West Indies created new history by winning by 8 runs against Australia in the second Test match. After 30 years, West Indies won a Test match on Australian soil. West Indies' celebration at the end showed how desperate they were for this win. After taking the last wicket, every player of the West Indies team went to the front of the gallery and celebrated hugely, feeling like they had achieved something big. Celebrations might be like this when a team wins against a team after a long time. Smith was at the wicket if the strike had been rotated for some reason then West Indies might have lost this match but Shamar Joseph didn't let that happen he got out last ball to give the team such a join and himself celebrated a lot, congrats west indies

West Indies team won a match by 8 runs, what a match is it. Hazlewood was the last wicket. This is the first match of West Indies that they won in 2024.
West Indies won against Australia while they were present in Australia. Today is the day when the West Indies won against Australia after 27 years in Australia. They created a history they will never forget this match. By the way, it's happiness but once a time we say them a 'black storm' and now we are happy that they won against Australia in Australia. They won the first two ICC ODIS World Cups and now we are excited about this type of win.

WI vs AUS
WI wins the match, I don't have much to say as I didn't keep track of this match, but little I watched in last hour of match was worth it. The competitive West Indies is what I remember from my childhood days, and hopefully they'll continue their good form. Steve Smith played commendable knock.
I have started watching test cricket only recently, and boy it's on par with other formats.
Meanwhile, India just lost Sharma and is at 63/3, dunno why they sent Patel instead of Iyer.

230 runs is not a big target to chase but the way Indian batters are playing it looks like a big target. I guess they forgot that they have another day left to chase those runs. Shubhman Gill should be dropped from the next test match he is out of form and have no clue. He wasted a lot of balls but didn't get good runs and in the second innings he was kind to the team by getting a duck. Hitman is still batting and looking good. KL Rahul has joined him after India lost 2 wickets in quick succession. Feeling sorry for Pope missing a big opportunity for only 4 runs is very bad for a batter.
The England team batted brilliantly in the second innings, if they could have batted like that in the first innings, they would have easily won the first test against India. England's batsmen were all out after scoring 420 runs in the second innings. Gave India a lead of 231 runs now England should bowl in a controlled manner if England team can bowl well then India's batsmen will be under a lot of pressure. We all know Indian batsmen are very strong they are batting very well but England bowlers should get them out very quickly with their good balls then maybe the game will be in England's favour. Let's finally see how well the England team can bowl against India.
England made a great comeback under pressure. Tom Hartley and Ollie Pope partnership I thought England could take the lead from 260 to 280. Ashwin dismissed Tom Hartley to break the 80-run partnership for the eighth wicket. In the next over Mark Wood was caught by bowling Jadeja to Srikar Bharat. On the last wicket, Ollie Pope was dismissed for 196 by Bumrah, missing out on a double century by four runs. India is batting with a target of 231 runs, India has already lost two wickets for 48 runs. Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul are currently on the pitch. India still need 183 runs, if England can bowl in control the match can go in their favour. England inning finally comes to an end with 230 run lead, Ollie Pope goes last at 196 with rather unnecessary shot, I mean all shots that player gets out can be called unnecessary, but the back swoop he tried to play was completely avoidable.
From looks of it i'm drifting towards India to win this match, if England can get early wickets, we'll see interesting chase.

Pope created some history today at India which is good to see, I didn't expect they will dominate the first session entirely and also their tai supported very well to reach this stage. Bumrah the man showed what he can do with his skill irrespective of pitch condition and he should be recognized more for his consistent performance in India and away series and he is one of the reason why India started dominating in away series.
I hope this is an easy chase for India but England's spin bowling got better from first innings which is good for the remaining test matches.
26/0, India needs 205 to win this match.

Sad to see Pope missing out of his double century by only 4 runs. The guy had put some good efforts to reach to those runs and get England out of trouble. It has been a good innings from him and now it is time for the England bowlers to defend 230 runs if they want to win the first test match. Indian batters have now a small target to chase and it shouldn't be a struggle for the batters.
Australia is under a lot of pressure in the second Test between Australia and West Indies. Now the dinner break is going on. Chasing a target of 216 runs, Cameron Green was dismissed for 42 after a third-wicket partnership of 71. When their team score was 113. Later, Alex Carey, Mitchell Marsh, Travis Head could not stay on the pitch for a long time, they quickly returned to the dressing room. Shamar Joseph has taken 6 wickets for West Indies so far in this innings. Australia need only 29 runs with two wickets in hand. Steven Smith is currently on the pitch with 76 runs and Lyon with five runs. Let's see if West Indies can create a new history.

Ollie Pope got only 1 run in the first innings and in the second innings he is just short by 5 runs to get to his double century. England now has a lead of 229 runs all because of him. I hope he gets to his double century. England have now lost 8 wickets both Bhumrah and Ashwin have taken 3 wickets each. Another wicket and it will be hard for England to surpass a lead of 250 runs. Looking at the current situation of the pitch it is offering little assistance to the bowlers.
England has played their turn and made 420 runs in the second innings. And now at this time they are leading with 230 runs. India needs to play little fast because it's already the 4th day. And they need to make 231 runs. I think India will chase this target easily because they have made 436 runs in the first inning. So I hope they will win. But this is cricket so anytime anything can happen. England can be good in bowling and can get the whole wickets earlier to defeat India. So let's see.

Ollie Pope got only 1 run in the first innings and in the second innings he is just short by 5 runs to get to his double century. England now has a lead of 229 runs all because of him. I hope he gets to his double century. England have now lost 8 wickets both Bhumrah and Ashwin have taken 3 wickets each. Another wicket and it will be hard for England to surpass a lead of 250 runs. Looking at the current situation of the pitch it is offering little assistance to the bowlers.
Pope going strong, he is on 158 and the way he is batting he might get to his double 100. While batters on the non striker end are getting out the latest one was Rehan Ahmed. England has now a lead of 156 runs but they have lost 7 wickets. Not much batting left except Pope who is still on the pitch. A lead of leads than 250 won't help England. They need more than 250 runs to defend their lead against the Indian batting.
Yes, Ollie Pop alone is keeping England's batting line-up strong and he is currently unbeaten on 166 runs. As time passes he is inching towards his double century. It has become imperative for the Indian bowlers to get Ollie Pop out as he is slowly becoming a threat.England have given India a lead of 162 runs so far and if they can make it 270 plus then it could be a fighting score with India. And if they can score 250 I think India will easily win this test match because they have a very big and strong batting line-up.
England team is still under wicket pressure as 7 wickets have fallen, but for a long time Ollie Pope has been performing since the first day of the second innings, he has collected 195 runs so far. Ollie Pope's partner Tom Hartley scored 33 runs. If Ollie Pope can perform patiently then he can surely meet the target of 200 runs. Ollie Pope can perform well as a reliable player in the team.
