India's all nightmares came true in this test match, 2 extremely dominated days for England with the ball and bat. This time English team meant only business, guess all criticism worked pretty well for them and why not every bowler chipped in for them, even out of form Sam Curran took the wickets. In the first 2 tests their batting was all Joe Root, who is in his career best form but here their top 4 came back in top notch form.

Atm big defeat looking very clear and odds are against Indian team but in last 8-9 months we have seen some fine comeback from this Indian team be it MCG, Sydney, Gabba or The lords. So Indian fan must be dreaming about 2 daddy hundreds and couple of 100s from the top order and their celebrated middle order Puji, kohli, Rahane. Seems impossible task for out of form middle order but that's a only way they can draw the match and redeem themselves as batting unit.

Or they can move directly to Oval. Grin

England 423/8 which england lead to 345 runs within two days duration. I am sure if England can lead more than 400 runs in their first innings , it would be highly possible to beat India with one innings rest.

it looks as if there were different Indian and English teams in the previous match and are absolutely different in this one.

Exactly. The first innings collapse was demoralising for the entire team due to which their bowlers bowled badly. Bumrah was the most economical bowler, but he didn't take a single wicket.

One thing I noticed in this series is England's over-dependency on Root who keeps scoring centuries consistently like a boss. The other batsmen need to perform on a consistent basis if they want to win this series.

On the other hand, majority of the Indian batsmen are out of form too. Kohli's bad form makes matters worse for them. They need to step up if they want to win this series.

The way India celebrated the last win and the way England is going to celebrate this wins will be hilarious. What the main stream media will be discussing now, now they will be trashing India till the next match. What ever be the situation, this is the second time they are getting out in double digits this year and Rahane and Pujara has failed on all of these situation and they are struggling for many matches and India having the young talents needs to replace them.

The first two session determines the tone for the next few days and India getting all out for double digits is happening too often, ride the highs and then ride the lows as well Cheesy

. England put on a century partnership for the opening wicket and there is no way India could make a comeback in this match. I will be surprised if this match goes to the 5th day.

Still two wickets left for the end of England first innings. I think India will be able take those wickets within the first session of day 3. England has already made a huge lead. It's clear that Indian team has no possibility to win this match. But they will try to play slowly and make a good total in their second innings. If they become successful to do it, then the game will continue on day 5. Otherwise England will get the victory within day four.

But still all out for 78, no tactics would have been decided for total this low. Maybe India became quite overconfident after their first win. As of now England have scored 107 for no loss, this match looks like a completely one sided affair now, even if England manages to score something around 300, it would be impossible for India to bounce back in the match unless they score some 500 odd runs which at pitches of England against attack which bowled you out at 78 is impossible. It might be too early to say this but Series is now back into play I think and India's hope of a clean sweep look completely shattered.

England players received criticism from all quarters following their defeat and failed tactics in the first test match. So they made sure that complacency is not a part of their performance this time. And the Indians were slightly overconfident. Look at the way KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant got out. They wanted to continue with their T20 style and unfortunately that batting style was not suitable on conditions which were favorable to the seamers. Now in all probability, this match will be over in three days and the series will be tied 1-1.

See how fantastically England have batted on day 2, I think England have already score enough runs to ensure that they don't have to come in to bat again, even if they bat until the end of the day today, there is absolutely no way that India can even Draw the march forget about winning it for a moment, it looks as if there were different Indian and English teams in the previous match and are absolutely different in this one.

India are screwed in the 3rd test. England successfully claimed their revenge at this point. Majority of the English bowlers were on fire. They could win by an innings in my opinion.

England is still batting and a few changes and the team woke up and playing as if they are world champions. Jonny Bairstow and Jos Buttler are the only batsman who did not contribute but the rest of the top order performed well and they now have a lead of 338 runs.
I am expecting the match to be over by the 4th day if India try to resist and somehow delay the England win or the weather needs to help India.

After Day 2, England lead by 345 runs with a score of 423/8.

It was truly England's day. It was an absolutely superb batting performance by England's batsman, with Joe Root leading the way. The man is pure class and delight. With a first match win, the Indian team was a bit overconfident, then collapsed completely from batting to bowling. There is nothing left to say about this match; it was over on the very first day when Indian line-up collapsed!

when does the team management ask Pujara and Kohli to be dropped, because these two are not performing at all and had it been any other play they would have been dropped by now.

Drop Kohli? Hilarious. Are you actually suggesting dropping one of the biggest names in the Cricket world currently? Realistically, they should drop Pujara at this point since he hasn't recovered his form for a long period.

Yes exactly , Kohli is the biggest name in the cricketing world right now in India. Yes he is not performing since some time but no one can even drop him from captaincy. India is doing well in tests under his captaincy and i believe in him that he will make a come back soon.

Given Kohli's dominance with the Indian team, I won't be surprised even if he demands that Sourav Ganguly should step down from the post of president of the BCCI. And this dominance will continue as long as the Indian team performs well. Kohli will have 100% authority over all the important decisions and the BCCI seems to be happy with the status quo. And at this point I don't think that they can antagonize Kohli, because Ganguly-Shah group is facing tough opposition from the Srinivasan-Pawar cabal within the BCCI.

Lastly you’ll are right as it’s indeed arrogance which cost team India this match, and now they’ll need a miracle to survive in this match.

LOL.. did you meant Pujara and Rahane? I don't think that the team management has the balls to drop Kohli, even if he doesn't make a 50 plus score for the next three years. One reason why the selectors don't want to mess up with the team composition is due to the fact that the team is performing so well. After Kohli became the captain, India has been winning matches in SENA countries on a regular basis. And now the dependence on Kohli has also been reduced, with Rohit and Rahul scoring most of the runs.

Test is the most unpredictable format of cricket. The situation of the game can turn at any session of a day. But the probability is very low for India to turn this game condition on their side. Batting performance of Indian team was pathetic. After the end of day one England batsman has scored 120 runs without losing any wickets. This game is fully in favour of England now.

The first two session determines the tone for the next few days and India getting all out for double digits is happening too often, ride the highs and then ride the lows as well Cheesy

I know it's unpredictable but after all players are humans, when you get all out on first day at just 78, no matter what, whenever you come back to bat again, that fear looms somewhere in the back of your mind which doesn't lets you bat well, not all 11 players will be able to beat this fear, making a very big score looks pretty unlikely to me as of now.

Indian team all out at 78. The world's best batting line-up falls once again. Another below hundred score. India's batting performance was below average and pathetic. It was a brilliant and dominating performance by the England bowlers. A great bowling attack by the English bowlers, in particular Anderson, who picked up 3 wickets at the top of the order.

LOL.. I was actually expecting this. The England team was left humiliated after their debacle at Lords. There was a lot of criticism, especially towards the tactics by which the English bowlers allowed Bumrah and Siraj to build such a huge 9th wicket partnership. They got carried over by emotions. No such display today. They sticked to the gameplan and ignored the provocations. James Anderson took the three most important wickets in his opening spell, and essentially for India it was all over by then.

Very bad performance by Indian batting line up. After winning the second test match this was not expected from India. I dont consider India to be best batting line up as both Pujara and Kohli are not scoring since a long time. Only Indian lower order started to contribute more but now the top order of India needs to stand up .
