The match is in a state of turmoil. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. If 191 runs is not a very big collection. England can easily collect 191 runs if they bat patiently. Yet India has world-class experienced bowlers. It would not be a surprise if England lost all their wickets before 190 tomorrow.
Patience doesn't work perfectly in test match. Game condition will depend on the pitch and bowlers skill. Both teams has struggled with their batting lineup in day one. England has already lost their three important batsman who played nicely in the previous test. Malan and Craig Overton should make a good partnership tomorrow otherwise England team will struggle to make a good total. Though the betting odds is still in favour of England but I think it's going to be a competitive test match.

Dawid Malan is unbeaten on 26 runs. If the Indian bowlers can pick up the wickets of Malan and Craig Overton quickly tomorrow, then India will be able to stop England in less runs. But if these two batsmen are set, then England will dominate the match again.

Am pretty confident that India will decimate England's remaining batsmen thanks to Yadav removing the dangerous Root. Once Malan gets out, the remaining batsmen will probably collapse like dominoes.

I feel like Thakur's crazy batting performance towards the end gave India the necessary boost to stay on top in this match. Indian tail-enders continue to surprise me with their batting skills at present.

Thanks to Lord Thakur, that India managed to score a decent total despite a big batting failure once again, I am sure the career you are talking about is either going to be Ajinkya Rahane or maybe Ravindra Jadeja? KL Rahul managed to score a 100 in the first match which means he is good, Cheteshwar Pujara can also be in the list but he has a good record to back his spot, I think it'll be a big decision and that's the reason Kohli wasn't able to touch the batting order even in today's match.
Puji or Rahane, may be both lol but bring Puji back when playing in Australia .. Jaddu is fine.

OH shit I take my word back.... Yadav got the big fish here. Joe Root is gone.
Bowling department need a big raise.
Root's wicket was very important. Because Root alone could have ruined the Indian team. England lost 3 wickets for only 53 runs. If the Indian bowlers can bowl well in the first session of the next day, then we can enjoy an interesting match. Otherwise, England will win this test as usual.

LOL.. for me it looks as if India is having an upper hand. The surface is very supportive of seam bowling (which hints why Ashwin wasn't included in the playing XI), and if the Indian pacers can get England all out for 150-160, then there is a good chance of India going up 2-1 in this series. Morale matters a lot. Right now the Indian morale is high, and England is in a spot of bother. This match can swing either way from this point, and tomorrow's first session is going to be extremely important.

50 runs partnership and Lord Thakur is back with another important 50 in just 31 balls with 6 fours and 3 sixes
Didn't expect Kohli to bring in Thakur, but it was clearly a great decision since he performed better than literally every other Indian batsman which is embarassing. Kohli was the only other decent performer.

If India can get Root out early, they still have a great chance at winning this match in my opinion. All eyes are on the Indian bowlers(Especially Yadav and Thakur).
I was expecting Ashwin and Thakur for this game.

Thakur can do something with the ball but not expecting much from the Yadav. He's excellent bowler when playing in the home conditions but not very successful in SENA countries.

So far Indian bowlers leaking runs.

Jasprit Bumrah is on FIRE! In his first two overs, he took 2 wickets.

Kohli is now the second top scorer today, but he should carry the bat and stay not out. As soon as Virat Kohli was out, the visitors lost control of the game and have been bowled out. India has a talented bowling attack, it's now up to them how they use it.

This England tour is going to end at least 1 career in batting department. Batters needed to see off tough time at the start but they can't catch a break after their last lost. Now sun is up and pitch looking good to bat. Lord Thakur doing his thingy again and adding valuable runs for the team, hope he bats for at least 10 more overs. If it happens then extra 50-60 runs could come handy.

I don't want to see another inning defeat  Grin Grin

In the fourth Test between England and India, England decided to bowl after winning the toss. The match is being held at The Oval. And at the moment India has lost 3 wickets and collected only 54 runs. Like the previous Test match, this match will be a terrible batting disaster for them unless Virat Kohli fails to play a big inning today. Kohli has been out of form for a long time, today he must return to form.

India scored 127 runs in 52 overs. And they lost 6 wickets. Virat Kohli was out for 50 runs. He played quite well compared to other players. My guess is that India will lose all their wickets before 180 runs. Rishab Pant and Shardul Thakur are now at the crease.

Rishab Pant just got out and went back to the dressing room. His wicket was taken by Chris Woakes. The bowling of Woakes and Robinson fascinated me. Ollie Robinson has bowled 16 overs, including 9 maiden overs, he has taken 2 wickets. Woakes took 6 maiden overs in 11 overs, and took 3 wickets.

No Ashwin again!! Lord Thakur - Umesh Yadav duo are in and Ishant-Shami rested due to niggle ha! On the other hand 40 yo Jimmy running around like a 20 yo.

Hope this doesn't bite back India on day 2-3 and really hoping that this 4 seam + 1 spin combination works this time.

Atm conditions are excellent for bowling so our openers need to be very careful again.

OK.. two hours to go for the start of the 4th match, fingers crossed. The last thing I want at this point is a rain interruption. And fortunately, the weather prediction looks good with less than 10% chance of precipitation. Just a few hours ago, Bharat Arun came up with a controversial statement that the selectors erred by not picking Ashwin. I guess his time as the bowling coach is up, and now he feels more liberated to make such comments. But the fact is that Ashiwn, at this moment is the no.2 ranked test bowler as per the ICC.

Indians had their fun in the first 2 test match where they dominated the England most of the time, call it bad luck that 1st test went into draw. Series is 1-1 but now momentum is with the English team, they made a excellent comeback in this series. Having said that i won't rule out Indian team yet, they are good side and got every ingredient to become one of the best touring team. Hope Koach doesn't $uck up with the selection.

Funfact : India has a tremendous record in the Oval --Losing record-- lol

@Sithar007 Jadeja doesn’t gets lots of credit for the work he’s done, but finally people are realising how important he’s to the team. Also I feel that he has a unique way of playing the game, which puts the pressure back on the opposition bowler hence if he’s fit then he should definitely be included in the playing 11.

Agreed. Sir Jadeja is one of the most underrated players in the team. He is a genuine match winner for the Indian team, and on numerous occasions he has guided the Indian team to victory from the claws of defeat. Most of the occasions, he is left high and dry, as he bats at no.7. Even if he is on form, there is a good chance that he will run out of partners at the end. If you check his batting average, then it may not be as astounding as the same from top-order batsmen. But the reason for that is he gets hardly anytime to settle in, due to his position lower down the order.

The match starts today, there is a high chance of Ashwin being part of this team and Jadeja as well as Ishant will sit throughout the match. The weather and the pitch will also play an important part. I do not want the rain to ruin this match. The team winning the toss and batting first will have a higher chance of wining due to the rain forecast in London.

If Jadeja is fit, then he needs to play. He is the best allrounder with the team right now. He is a batsmen who could bowl, while others like Ashwin are bowlers who could bat a bit. Jadeja has rescued the team on many crucial situations before and has been involved in many important partnerships. His absence will weaken the Indian middle-order and lower order considerably. And Jadeja has performed relatively well in both the departments so far (on top of that, he is also one of the best Indian fielders).
