Uff India had their chances but Ollie pope and Bairstow did all the damage, now every run going to hurt India's cause.

Batsmen need to step up in the second inning and if middle order fails again then its time to clean up all the mess.

@JSRAW you are right because 63/5 and now 255/9 is really hurting Indian cause now in second inning they need to give some better result if they want to stay alive Bairstow, Pope and Ali done serious damage but still its balanced because we are in second day and England have to bat in fourth inning.

England lost two wickets of Overton and Malan at the beginning of the session. But, with the help of Ollie Pope and Jonny Bairstow, they are now in a stable position. England collected 135, lost 5 wickets. England trail by 56 runs. I think England will be able to collect more than 230 runs.

Jonny Bairstow and Ollie Pope tried to build a good parternship but now Jonny Bairstow is gone and Moeen Ali is in the crease along with Ollie Pope, all they need to do is build a solid partnership and extend the lead and get the upper hand in the match. I am surprised to see that Mohammed Shami is not included in the team. I hope he is not injured and they just replaced him to include Umesh Yadav or Shardul Thakur.

First session is very important for the both team, condition would be good for the bowling in first hour and if India gets breakthrough early then there is possibility of another English batting collapse. They have deep batting line up but they are not in great form either expect Malan. Pitch is going to get better to bat on later tho so Indian bowlers shouldn't offer any freebies.

From Indian point of view it would be excellent if they restrict them under 150 if not then at least try not to give away 50+ runs lead to England.

The first session is very important. If England starts losing wickets early in the first session, they will lose all their wickets very quickly. I have such an idea. Because middle-order batsmen are not in good form. However, if England does not lose any wickets in the first session, they will be able to take a lead of at least 100+ runs. If England takes a lead of more than 100, it will be difficult for India to draw this match.

Bowling department need a big raise.

Hahah surprising thing is that bowlers have played their part in the whole series be it with the bat or with the ball.
KL Rahul was really lucky to get a century in the first match or he would definitely had been the first blood spiled and counting the number of chances he has got I am doubtful he would have got another.

Talking about match now, I think tomorrow is going to be very important day, if England manages to score a big score tomorrow could take the match one sided but if even England scores less runs then it will once again be a short yet close encounter.

True

They are carrying the whole team, not just this series. Bowlers bailed out in Australia and doing exactly same here in the Oval. I was skeptical about KL Rahul due to his last pathetic tour. It was the time when our scorecard always looked like 20/2 but he did come along nicely.

Indian scored only 191 runs and after 3 wickets down England only trail by 138. Day 2 can be different, as English batsmen only need to create a good partnership. Yes, England has lost 3 important wickets but they still have a lot of wickets in hand. If they again repeat their performance then the Indians will lose this match too.

If Joe Root was there, then there was a chance. But he is also gone. The England lower and middle order is not in good form right now. Dawid Malan looks good, but Ollie Pope is having a highest score of 34 in 12 innings he played so far this year. And apart from one half century at Lord's, Jonny Bairstow hasn't been troubling the scorers. Moeen Ali picked up some crucial wickets, but the less talked about his batting that better. Now coming to the lower order and tail, they haven't contributed anything significant so far.

I agree with you. The Indian bowlers have ample opportunity to control the match now. But I am skeptical about how successful they will be. As we have seen in previous Tests, the bowlers in India have completely failed to resist the England team.

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.

If batsman is able to stay on the ground for a long time, he could change the match and for that he needs patience and the modern day players lack that patience and only a few possess that now and they are rare breeds Grin

.

Root their most trusted player is gone and they needs to find someone to rescue them and the first one hour determines whether India will be coming out to bat tomorrow or the match length will be longer. I was surprised with the changes in the Indian team as they changed their bowlers as they are the only ones that were performing.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
