The first 10 or 15 overs will be crucial for the Indian batters due to the new ball and after that things will get normalize. Again Rohit failed to give a good start to the Indian batting. Jaiswal is taking all the heat at the moment while Gill is busy relaxing. If Ravindra Jadeja had not taken the wicket of Robinson then things would have been quite different for India now. Jaiswal needs 139 runs to get to his 1000 runs in test cricket, I am sure he knows that and he will try to get those runs.

England managed to add only 51 runs on the second day. India didn't get off to a good start in batting, early Rohit Sharma caught Foakes off James Anderson. Jaiswal and Shubman Gill put on 82 runs in the second wicket partnership before Shubman Gill was trapped lbw by Shoaib Bashir. Rajat Patidar did not last long on the pitch. Jadeja and Jaiswal are batting in a fourth wicket partnership. India team's current score is 123/3. To take India's lead run need to have a big partnership. Yashasvi Jaiswal has already hit his third career half-century, just 87 runs away from a thousand runs. I hope to enter the 1000-run club in this Test.

India didn't get off to a good start, though, as their wickets fell, and they couldn't add much to their runs. Although they have already lost 4 wickets and scored only 131 runs, India's batting performance today is very poor to say the least. But Yashasvi Jaiswal has managed to score a brilliant half-century, and his batting performance will depend on how much India can score in today's match. If the partnership of Sarfaraz Khan and Yashasvi Jaiswal can sustain then it will be possible to fulfill the target given by England and if the pair does not survive then it seems that the Indian team will not be able to give a lead in today's match. Yashasvi Jaiswal will surely touch the 1000 run club in today's match as he will surely achieve this goal as he continues to bat brilliantly, and we can hope that he will definitely achieve this goal today.

Very bad start for India they lost their captain very early in the game. Then the middle order collapsed starting with Shubhman Gill to Jadeja. Again the pressure to get runs have come down to the new comers of this team. Patidar again failed to get runs and this will not go well with the team management. India have lost 4 wicket but the good thing is that Jaiswal is still batting and Sarfaraz Khan has joined him.

India have lost 4 wicket but the good thing is that Jaiswal is still batting and Sarfaraz Khan has joined him.

India started this test match good but as the sessions progressed, they are losing their grip on this match. First, they let England make too many runs. Remember at one time the England team were  5 wickets down for 112 runs and then Joe Root played a brilliant not out innings of 112 runs. He was supported by lower middle order batsmen like Ben Foakes (who made 47 runs) and Ollie Robinson (who made 58 runs). This fight back by the England team helped them reach a decent total of 350+ odds runs. Now they only need to bowl well and have a firm advantage on this test match.

England bowlers did exactly what was required in the match and that was to take early Indian wickets. Shoaib Bashir from England took three wickets while James Anderson took one wicket which helped England to make India 4 wickets down at 154 runs.

India's batsmen had a poor batting start in their first innings. Although the opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal is not out at 73 runs but none of the other batsman made any decent score. Rohit Sharma, the captain of India, was out making only two runs. Shubman Gill and Ravindra Jadeja also were not able to stay on the crease when the test match demanded to play slow and sensibly. At the very moment, the Indian team is in trouble. If their wickets keep falling, I am afraid the match will tilt very much in England's favor.

I am not at all surprised by India's batting. The pitch was not batting friendly. England's batsmen have faced a lot of problems to survive on this pitch. England could not have collected 353 runs if Joe Root did not bat well. However, India may lose all wickets in 220. India collected 165 runs after losing 5 wickets. Sharfaraz Khan and Dhrub Jurel are now at the crease. I don't think India will be able to collect more than 220.

[JSRAW]

Okay ladies and gents, we are officially fucked lol

Things are moving way too quickly and don't think Dhruv-Ashwin duo can hold the line for long, they are capable batters but the momentum is on England's side, and it looks like it's just a matter of time. This duo needs a mighty effort and some miracle partnership, but not a fair thing to ask when the main batters bend their knees.

Indian batsmen played very well in previous two matches. India won the last match by a huge margin of 434 runs. But the Indian batsmen are not able to bat well in the fourth test match. They lost 6 wickets to collect 171 runs. Ashwin and Dhruv are batting now. However, I don't think that these two batsmen will be able to stay at the crease for a long time on this pitch.

The England captain used four of his bowlers today. Out of this Shoaib Bashir picked up 4 wickets. Shoaib picked up four important wickets of Jaiswal, Gill, Rajat and Jadeja. India will probably bat like 15 more today. And the team is likely to lose two more wickets today.

[Swordsoffreedom]

.In the first test match England after winning the toss decided to bat first and All out after scoring 353 runs in first inning. England batters Joe Root played an important inning scored century runs and out after scoring 122 runs. Ben Foakes also played a good inning 47 runs, unfortunately missed his well deserved fifty by 3 runs short but the partnership more than 100 runs between Joe Roor and Ben Foakes played an important role by setting a 350 plus total for India in first inning of fourth test match.

With Joe Root's responsible batting, England managed to muster a big enough despite the pitch not being batting friendly. Collected 353 runs in the first innings. It can be called a big collection considering the pitch. Joe Root was unbeaten with 122 runs. Also 42 runs, FOakes 47 runs and Ollie Robinson managed to collect 58 runs. We have seen a good performance from the England batsmen in the first innings. Indian bowlers Jadeja and Akash Deep bowled well. Jadeja took 4 wickets and Akash 3 wickets. Ekahar Mohammad Siraj managed to take 2 wickets.

India current score is 103 runs by loss of 2 wickets in second session of day 2 test match. India trial by 250 runs i think India will scored a lead for England and try to win this test match. Indian captain Rohit Sharma didn't played well out after scoring just 2 runs but other batters Gill scored 38 runs. Now Yashasvi Jaiswal are playing at 49 runs not out and Patidar are playing at 12 runs not out. This Partnership is very important for team india to score a big lead for England.

We have never seen a bigger innings from Indian batsmen. The team lost their seventh batsman for 177 runs. Although opener Jaiswal managed to score 73 runs, no other batsman could play a big innings. India will lose all the wickets to collect 220-240 runs. England team will be able to take a lead of 100-120.

Indian batsmen have crossed the barrier of 200 runs. India has now collected 204 runs after losing 7 wickets. Dhruv Jurel remains unbeaten with 20 runs. Kuldeep Yadav on the other hand is batting very responsibly. He collected 14 runs from 38 balls. I think India's innings will not be prolonged if this pair is broken. So these two batsmen should now try to stay at the crease. At least they should try to stay at the crease today. If you can collect like 250 it will be a good collection for India.

So far England is leading by 149 runs. Maybe the team can take a lead of 100 runs. Even then there is no telling whether England will win. England's batsmen must bat well in the second innings if they want to win the match. Otherwise England will not be able to win the match.

[Haunebu]

Hilarious seeing people think England already won the ongoing test just because India is struggling at the moment. This match is far from over. Jurel and Kuldeep are playing well together and it looks like they might end up trailing them by 50-100 runs.

This is clearly a spinners surface due to which Bashir, Hartley and Jadeja bowled really well. Jadeja, Ashwin and Kuldeep could be dangerous in the 2nd innings.

At the moment India is trailing by 135 runs, 1 wicket falls from here and it'll be inning done, idk about Akash Deep but Siraj can't bat, has it been Bumrah he could hold his wicket or could bat aggressive and get quick 10-20 runs, we already saw how it turned out for England in last three wickets, 347-7 and 353 all out.

England will give 100+ runs lead IMO, let's see how it goes.

At the end of the second day, the Indian team collected 219 runs with the loss of 2 wickets. India is 134 runs behind England. Team India has already collected 42 runs from the pair of Kuldeep Yadav and Dhruv Jurel. These two batsmen are batting very carefully. If the lower order batsmen did not play well, India would probably have lost all the wickets before 200 runs were scored. Because India's top order and middle order players cannot bat well in this innings.

SHoaib bashir and Tom Hartley bowled very well. Bashir bowled 32 overs and took 4 wickets. And he scored 84 runs in 32 overs. On the other hand, Tom Hartley bowled in 18 overs, giving away 47 runs and taking two wickets.

[JSRAW]

Finally some partnership, otherwise it was over for India.

England's spinners bowled beautifully but NGL I am pissed at the quality of umpiring in this match, there is no consistency with the umpires. When Indians were bowling umpire hesitated to raise their fingers and even when it was straightforward LBW. In contrast, they were itching to raise their fingers when Indians were batting. 3 umpires call and 2 LBW calls came when it was brushing the stumps and looked not out to the naked eye. Call it luck or whatever but the 90% of decisions went against India.

It's still too early to predict as England are unable to break the 7th wicket partnership between Dhurv and Kuldeep today. If they be able to bowl out India early tomorrow and start the second inning in third day with a 100 run+ lead, it would be beneficial to England. They would have plenty of time to give a good score to chase for India. There have been twists in second innings changing the game completely in this series but I hope England comes out victorious in this so that we be able to watch the last test with thrill.

I'm sure Stokes would have no problem with umpires call today

Anyway, I also feel umpires call should be removed, let ball tracking decide, either it hits the stump or it don't.

[rojan]

England came to bat in the 1st Innings and gave a target of 353 runs, losing 10 wickets in 104.5 overs. In the 1st Innings, England team could not give a target of many runs, but England team seems to be able to perform well in the bowling line. India team came out to bat, 7 wickets in 73 overs.  219 runs for loss. Team India is still trailing by 134 runs. Rohit Sharma is out for 2 runs in 9 balls. Shubman Gill is out for 38 runs in 65 balls.

[jasonjm]

A good day for England. India is in trouble at the moment; apart from Jaiswal, no other batter scored any runs. A few of them got off to a start but could not convert into a big score. At the moment, India trails by 134 runs, and they have 3 wickets in hand. England spinners are bowling beautifully, but the umpiring in the test match is below average. There are plenty of umpire calls today. England is ahead, but the pitch is offering something to spinners, and England's batting lineup will be tested in the third inning against quality Indian spin bowling.

Anyway, I also feel umpires call should be removed, let ball tracking decide, either it hits the stump or it don't.

Agree. If the ball is clipping the stumps, how come it is not out; it should be out.

Well, Ben Stokes & Co were claiming a catch of Jaiswal so the less i say about him, the better.

I also don't like the umpire's call but it's a rule and considered the best possible solution by all the pundits so everyone should follow the rules unless some new tech replaces the DRS.

The problem comes when the Umpire shows no consistency with their decision. I can understand it's based on human error and mistakes do happen from the on-field umpires and I can understand 1-2 calls going against anyone in 2 days of gameplay but FFS 7-8 decisions and every decision going against only 1 team.  

[cryptoWODL]

Very bad start for India they lost their captain very early in the game. Then the middle order collapsed starting with Shubhman Gill to Jadeja. Again the pressure to get runs have come down to the new comers of this team. Patidar again failed to get runs and this will not go well with the team management. India have lost 4 wicket but the good thing is that Jaiswal is still batting and Sarfaraz Khan has joined him.

In the fourth Test match between India and England today, we witnessed the utter failure of the Indian batting line-up. Their batting failure was in the second innings of the first Test match where they managed to score 202 runs which resulted in their defeat to England in that match. May be they are walking the same path in the 4th test match too, may be it is a coincidence that the team that bats first in this test series will win the match.

Young player of Indian team Rajat Patidar he is playing bad continuously I don't know why BCCI is still keeping him with Indian team. Then you should substitute another player in his place based on your batting performance. India's first innings of the fourth Test match between India and England had a full day for England bowler Shoaib Basir because he made good Balls today and took four wickets. India are still 134 runs behind England but they have only three wickets in hand and their batting makes it doubtful that they will be able to cross this mark of 134 runs.

[Bitcoin Smith]

ENG spin outplayed the Indian batting and I don't know what is the point of saying Indian are good at playing the spin tracks when there is little assistance came in for an inexperienced bowling unit.

Kuldeep stood like a wall at one end which saved Indian from big deficit but ENG surely in a driving seat at this match now, so tomorrow India has to give their 100% as team if they want to win the match or else the series is going to be 2-2. Patidar again failed after good start but as said umpiring went completely against team India until now that hurt more than they supposed to be.

At the end of day 2 india trailed by 134 runs and scored 219 runs in a loss of 7 wickets. Yashasvi Jaiswal batting well scored 73 runs but unfortunately, missed his well-deserved century by a few runs short. Dhruv Jurel is playing at 30 runs not out and Kuldeep Yadav is playing at 17 runs. England batting performance according to this pitch is fine they scored 353 runs in the first inning of the test match. Shoaib Bashir's bowling performance is outstanding picked 4 important wickets by just giving 84 runs. If England bowled out India under 250 runs then they will try to give a big lead more than 400 runs. Then England has very good chance of winning this test match.

[FinePoine0]

England were all out for 353 runs. But when the Indian team started batting on the same day, wickets started to fall quickly. England team fell by 8 wickets and collected only 219. In this way, if the Indian team starts losing wickets, then England will never be able to meet the target of 353 runs given by the team. The batsmen who are there are basically more experienced in terms of bowling, so they should not be relied upon. England team's best bowling performance was Shoaib Bashir who collected four wickets alone. Which has played the most role for England team and has given such good bowling performance that he is one of the best players in this team.
