Jaiswal is something else in all formats these days. On the other hand, Gill keeps underperforming as usual. Wonder when Pujara will replace him.

The youngster, Yashasvi Jaiswal is holding the rudder of Indian team alone where the other batters performance was below average. I think Indian will have advantages in this test match for his good batting performance. Gill performance is average in my opinion. Most of the fans have a high hope from him, that's why his average contribution doesn't satisfy the fans.

Yashsasvi Jaiswal is going to make an important record with just six Test experience. Only 21 runs will touch his desired 200 runs. Apart from Yashsasvi Jaiswal (179*), no Indian batsman has touched triple figures so far. Subman Gill is the second highest scorer after Yashsasvi Jaiswal with 34 runs. Although I expected a better innings from Subman Gill but he did not perform much better than that. But if Yashsasvi Jaiswal had not played this wonderful innings, it is doubtful whether India would have collected 250.

Jaiswal destroyed all the records, he made 209 runs and when he was out so on that time, this was a wonderful achievement for him. All the players and crowd stood and clapped for him in his wonderful output.

Now, I hope that he will be a part of the World Cup from the Indian team. India needed this type of player in the squad of the World Cup, but we can't say about this thing because the Indian team is very unique.
In the Champions Trophy, when Pakistan's chance is 0 to win and on the other side India is a most powerful team with MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Jasprit Bumrah, and you have another example of the last World Cup.

Out of 396 runs that India got Jaiswal contributed 209 runs, imagine how effective Indian batting has been without good players. Mukesh replaced Shiraj but now he has become the costliest bowler as he gave 22 runs in 2 overs. While other bowlers from the Indian side are trying to stop the runs he is busy bowling to only leak out runs. This is the problem that the Indian team has been facing with new bowlers, they are very inconsistent and unpredictable.

I thought maybe India could score 500 runs in this match but they failed to do that as most of their batsmen did not play well except Jaiswal who batted well. Jaiswal gave an impeccable batting performance in this match as he single-handedly scored 209 runs which was the highest run by any Indian batsman in this match. In this match India batted first and scored 396 runs for 10 wickets.

Now the England team came out to bat and they scored 34 runs without losing any wicket in 7 overs which is a good start.They are currently scoring runs at 4.86 per over. Indian bowlers will have to bowl very well in this match as this match is very important for India as they have already lost the first test match.

Congratulations Yashsasvi Jaiswal to cover 200+ innings.
After getting out for 209 runs, no one could take the score to 400 for the team. But if Yashsasvi Jaiswal had not led the innings today, India would have been all out long before 396 runs.
Mukesh Kumar has been replaced in place of Mohammad Siraj, he was dismissed for only 0 runs in India's first innings today but no other batsman got out.

You are right because India's top order batsmen did not bat that well if Jaiswal could not have scored 202 runs in the first innings of India's second test then India would never have given England a lead of 396 runs. India's 396 must have played an important role. We saw great batting in the second innings in the first test from England. Of course we will expect England batsmen to bat well in the second test if they can bat well then maybe they can overcome the lead of 396 runs given by India. Of course, England's batsmen must bat responsibly.

Indian team performed very well in this first test match scoring 396 runs. The Indian team has reliable batsmen whose performance is very good and skillful. Yashasvi Jaiswal entered the field as the opening batsman and performed almost till the last of the match and managed to score 209 runs. But England team has started batting today so England team has performed poorly throughout this season. Test play is mainly about keeping wickets and performing for a long time and the experience of the batsmen can ensure victory. But the England team has collected 32 runs so far without the fall of any wicket.

Jaiswal has done what the good players of the Indian cricket team have failed to do. Jaiswal's 209 runs made the Indian team very strong. However, if Rohit Sharma and other batsmen of the Indian team played well in the first innings of this test match yesterday, the Indian cricket team could have been stronger. However, the England cricket team started batting in the first innings of the second day of this second test match today. But shortly after batting, the lunch break begins, the England cricket team has played 36 balls before lunch time. And scored 32 runs without a wicket off 36 balls. Now the lunch time is over and batting has started again. The batting of England cricket team seems to be excellent. At the moment England cricket team's score is 59 runs without a wicket.

[elevates]

The first wicket gone for England, as Kuldeep Yadav struck back and took the wicket of Duckett. The danger man Crawley is still batting and he is not at all defensive today. He has already hit 8 fours and would easily be going after his half-century. Ollie pope played exceptionally well in the first test match but was out before getting his double hundred. Let's see whether he can play in the same manner like he did in the first test match.

It was a great achievement for the youngster Yashasvi Jaiswal. While the batting of other player in Indian team were not impressive. Jaiswal alone made more than the rest of the players. 396 can't be called a good first innings considering how the English team did bat on the 2nd innings of the last game. England got to start before mid-day of the 2nd day and would plan to have a quick 500 by the end of 3rd day. How well they can hold the wicket and get the runs is still to be seen. England were scoring at an amazing pace till the 10th over when they lost their first wicket.

The way the Indian players batted on the first day I thought the team would be able to collect more than 450 in the first innings. But apart from Jaiswal, no other batsman can stay at the crease for long. Jaiswal scored 209 runs, and India's innings ended at 396 runs. I don't think the pitch is bowling friendly. So I can't call this collection a good collection.

England's top order is batting very responsibly. England collected 81 runs in 16 overs, losing only one wicket. Opener Zak Crawley remained unbeaten on 53 runs.

[Bitcoin Smith]

England wrapped up Indian batting line-up just before the lunch and thanks to the old fox who used his experience to take wickets when pitch is not offering much for his bowling. If we remove Jaiswal's score from Indian score board all the 10 players contributed less than half than he scored.

Now, Englishmen is blowing punches back and they are doing it very fast, India need couple of wickets to control their innings or else this lineup is ready for long innings too. Kuldeep got a wicket but Ash created few chances already and this session may decide how this match turns out to be.

Zak Crawley's batting doesn't look like a Test match. He is batting well. England managed to collect 106 after 21 overs. The team is collecting more than 5 runs per over. Zak Crawley remained unbeaten on 72 off 75 balls. He hit 10 boundaries and two over boundaries.

Indian bowlers are under a lot of pressure now. If Crawley's wicket is not picked up quickly, the Indian bowlers will face big problems. England is a very experienced team. Scoring 400+ runs on this pitch is not a tough task for a big team like England. England is now behind by 290 runs. Ollie Pope is batting very carefully. He collected 13 runs from 35 balls.

That's the fact it was Jaiswal who got those runs on the scoreboard the rest were partying. He became the third youngest India batter to get his double century. Before him Sachin and Shastri hot thier double hundred in test cricket at a young age. The Indian bowling is not looking great as Crawley has been hampering the Indian bowling. He is already in his 70s and the way he is going on he will easily get to his hundred. A wicket before tea would help the scoring of runs go down, at the moment it's looking like it's just a matter of few more hours and England would be nearing 300 runs.

Afghanistan vs Sri Lanka

Sri Lankan players are performing well against Afghanistan. And in this match Sri Lanka team is favorite. Because most of the important players of Afghanistan's squad are missing in this match.

Afghanistan could only muster 198 runs in their first innings. This is a very small collection on this pitch. Along with the batsmen, Afghanistan's bowlers are also not playing well. Afghanistan is likely to be defeated by an innings margin in this match. Sri Lanka lost only 3 wickets and collected 225 runs. Sri Lanka team has managed to take a lead of 27 runs.
Dimuth Karunaratne scored 77 runs. Mathews was unbeaten with 51 runs and Chandimal 35 runs. Sri Lanka looks set to collect more than 400 in the first innings.

[elevates]

England is in trouble, they have lost 4 wickets before tea. I was not expecting a good comeback by the Indian bowlers. Bhumrah took 2 wickets, Patel took 1 and Kuldeep took 1. Rohit is not interested in Mukesh at the moment because of his first 2 overs. Ashwin has yet to take a wicket. Initially Crawley was the reason why England were getting tuns on the scoreboard and after his out the runs have dried down. England trails by 242 runs at tea and now Stokes and Bairstow need to form a partnership if they want to get those runs.

[Essential10]

India managed to collect only 60 runs on the second day, ending India's first innings at 396 runs. Jaiswal scored his sixth match double century in his Test career today. Apart from Jaiswal's individual innings of 209 runs, no batsman could make any advantage for the team. England are batting in the second innings, England's score is 155/4 at the moment. Despite scoring fifty runs in the first and second wicket pairs, Jasprit Bumrah quickly took the wickets of Ollie Pope and Joe Root and sent them to the dressing room. Stokes and Bairstow batting may put England under pressure if their wicket break is not prolonged. If India can break the fifth wicket partnership quickly I think India can start the second innings with a lead of over 100 runs.

[libert19]

He became the third youngest India batter to get his double century. Before him Sachin and Shastri hot thier double hundred in test cricket at a young age.

Where do you get this from? They showed Vinod Kambli and Sunil Gavaskar as first two.

[FinePoine0]

The England team has been so poor in terms of performance that they fell by five wickets on the first day. England team is not suitable in terms of performance as Test match has to perform for long time keeping wickets. But England's players have failed to last long, as I see only one reliable player entering the field as an opener. Zak Crawley scored 76 runs off 78 balls but subsequent batsmen who entered the field did not perform well. All the batsmen who are performing on the field now in the England team are basically not batting. So they cannot be relied upon to meet the target of this match today.

Afghanistan bowlers are not doing well. So the Sri Lankan team is moving towards the big collection very easily. Sri Lanka collected 287 runs for the loss of 3 wickets. The Sri Lankan team has already managed to take a lead of 89 runs. And they lost just 3 wickets. Afghanistan is trailing by a big margin in the first innings itself.

Angelo Mathews scored 79 off 152 balls and Chandimal was unbeaten on 68 off 116 balls. Experienced batsmen like Dhananjaya De Silva will still bat. I guess Sri Lanka team can take a lead of at least 200 runs. And given how bad Afghanistan's bowling is, Sri Lanka might be able to muster more than 450.

[Hallroom]

The England team today, who have good fit batsmen, got out in a very short time. According to today's performance, the players of England team are not eligible to play Test because they have to perform for a long time to play Test match. To fulfill the target in today's match, the England team needs to collect 224 runs. Now the England team has collected 175 runs after losing five wickets.

[libert19]

England 178-5 and from the looks of it they might not even be able to get close to target score, leave giving lead alone. Except Crawley everyone else has been fail, Stokes is on crease right now there is some hope from him, he goes and England in deep trouble.

Joe Root isn't living up to his popularity, been a while since we saw a decent knock from him.

To fulfill the target in today's match, the England team needs to collect 224 runs. Now the England team has collected 175 runs after losing five wickets.

England started their innings well but England's batsmen could not maintain consistency. The top order batted very well. But after the loss of Zak Crawley's wicket, England lost a few more wickets very quickly. England's middle order is a complete failure today. Crawley was dismissed for 76 off 78 balls.

Now England's collection is 177/6. England team is still behind by a big gap of 219 runs. England need to score at least 280-plus if they want to keep their hopes of victory alive. If England are behind by more than 150 then it will be much more difficult to make a comeback in the second innings.

Jasprit Bumrah bowled just 12 overs and picked up three crucial wickets. Bumrah took the wickets of Root, Pope and Bairstwo. Stokes and Rehan Ahmed are now batting.

Afghanistan is perhaps ready to concede yet another humiliating defeat. This is the first match of this tour. And Afghanistan is going to start with defeat in the first match. Several key players in the Afghanistan squad are now playing in various franchise leagues. If these players were with the squad, maybe Afghanistan vs Sri Lanka match would have been competitive.

Mathews-Chandimal Sri Lanka team scored 171 runs. Sri Lanka collected 319 runs after losing 3 wickets. And the team managed to take a big lead of 121 runs. I think the match will end in three days. Afghanistan will lose this match by an innings.
