Full credits to the Indian bowlers and they are a force to reckon even though they gave the player of the match to KL Rahul, the match winners were the bowler.
I agree. They should have given that award to Siraj or Shami. Both took many wickets and Shami batted really well towards the end of the 2nd innings.

The Indian tail-enders consistently keep rescuing the Indian team in recent times. The top and middle orders need to learn from their performances.
Siraj or Shami should've been given the Man of the Match. By the time they might've come up with the decisions based on the first innings, if he hasn't scored it India might've not reached 364 runs. This will surely make the second innings more pressured. It is true to see most of the matches won in recent months for India has happened out of the tail enders.

India as a team played very well but, KL Rahul was the one who got India the lead in the first session. If India had scored poorly in the first session then the result of this test match would have been different. I wont deny Siraj and Shami's contribution but I still think India won the match because of the early advantage created by Rahul.

It was a very difficult pitch to bat and that is the reason why I support the Man of the Match prize being awarded to KL Rahul. On the other side, Joe Root also made a century, so it looks like a good batting track on paper. Shami, Siraj and Bumrah got the wickets under conditions that are favorable to them. I don't want to sideline their achievements, but in my opinion Rahul won the match for India with his century knock. England put up a massive total of 391, and if not for Rahul, India would have been in a very bad position.

I would say India won the match only for the bowlers. The bowler bowled well. At the same time, the 90 runs collected by Shami and Bumrah in the second innings were very helpful for India. If they could not collect these 90 runs, the result of the match would have been different.

India won the match thanks to the batting. There were two very important partnerships. The first one was the century stand between Rahul and Rohit, and the second one was the partnership between Bumrah and Shami. The bowlers were not very impressive in the first innings, in which England made a total of close to 400. In the second innings they bowled well, but they had England under pressure thanks to the massive stand for the 9th wicket. Without those extra runs, the match would have ended with a win for England.

The main turning point in India's match win was the partnership of Shami and Bumrah. No one could have imagined such a remarkable partnership in the 9th wicket partnership. Though the Indian bowlers did not do well in the first innings, they surprised everyone in the second innings. It's hard for me to believe that such a batting disaster for the England team could happen at home.

The partnership between Shami and Bumrah changed the course of the match. I don't know what happened to the England bowlers. Mark Wood was in terrific form, and the way he chokeslammed Cheteshwar Pujara was exceptional. But the same Mark Wood failed miserably against two genuine tailend batsmen. Even the ever reliable James Anderson proved ineffective against the two. And the England captain made the big mistake of giving maximum number of overs to his least effective bowler (Moeen Ali).

England team lost the track when they started with the bouncer tactics and more importantly they were looking for revenge against Bumrah and Shami instead of getting their wickets. (Bumrah 10 ball over with bouncer against Jimmy triggered every Englishmen in the team). Joe Root also joined the bowler and gave them freedom to attack specially against Bumrah, they even opened the field and 7 fielders were sitting at boundary line. Here Bumrah-Shami took the advantage and went to score big partnership.

LOL.. if this was what happened, then I feel sorry for the Brits. They allowed emotions to take over, and from a position where they had an advantage they went on to lose the match. Revenge against Bumrah should be taken against Kohli, because he was the mastermind from the Indian side. And it was not something that should be considered when the outcome of the match remains at knife's edge. I have ridiculed Kohli's tactics for many years. But I need to admit that in this case he did the right thing.

Yeah..

At start every commentator on microphone was jumping on England's tactics and giggling but started ranting against Jimmy and Root when Bumrah-Shami crossed the 50 runs partnership. During last wickets i switched the steaming Sky to Sony and damn Sunil Gavaskar was in very good form, he was pissing on everyone lol.

The series is not yet over and three test matches remain. If Indians get overconfident, then they will end up losing the series. The weather seems to be improved in England and it won't be impossible for the hosts to win the series by a margin of 2-1 or 3-1. And trust me, this has happened to the Indians manytimes before. And apart from Rahul and Rohit, none of the Indian batsmen are in good form. The victory in the second match temporarily took the focus away from the poor form of Pujara, Rahane, Kohli and Pant.

You are right. If the Indian players are more confident, they will lose the series. It is not easy to win against them in England. In the previous match, England's batting collapsed in a very bad way so India won. There is no reason to think that something like that will happen in the next match too. The England management must have realized their mistakes and will take appropriate action to correct them.

I don't have much hope for the England batsmen. Apart from Joe Root, none of them are able to handle the Indian bowlers. However, their bowlers are in good form and I am sure that they have learnt their lesson during the second test. Things are not going to get easy for the Indian batsmen, especially given the fact that players like Pujara and Rahane have been in very poor form for a long time now. And I still believe that without the 90 run partnership between Shami and Bumrah, India would have lost the second match.

When Ishant got out, India were at 209/8 (lead of 182 runs). If the target was less than 200, then England would have chased it with relative ease.

I agree with you that England's batsmen are not in good form. But I don't think the Indian batsmen are playing very well. You are right, India would not have won if Shami and Bumrah had not made the necessary partnership. Batsmen are having a lot of trouble to run regularly on this pitch. The previous match was competitive. The next match will also be competitive too. It is difficult to say which team will win.

Blind assumptions. How are you so sure that England would have chased down 182? The Indian bowlers were on fire and you forgot about the fact that some catches were dropped.

Bumrah and Shami piled on the pressure while Siraj kept chipping away their wickets regularly. Also, England got lucky in the 1st test thanks to rain interference since 209 isn't a big target. My blind assumption!

The series is not yet over and three test matches remain. If Indians get overconfident, then they will end up losing the series. The weather seems to be improved in England and it won't be impossible for the hosts to win the series by a margin of 2-1 or 3-1. And trust me, this has happened to the Indians manytimes before. And apart from Rahul and Rohit, none of the Indian batsmen are in good form. The victory in the second match temporarily took the focus away from the poor form of Pujara, Rahane, Kohli and Pant.
2 weeks so plenty of time for both teams to think about next game and i doubt Indian team will be over confident, Indian fans? Yes!! And i agree there is always possibility of India losing series but its also true for England, in hypothetical scenario both teams has 50-50%. England has a home advantage but Indians are playing as a team and everyone is contributing for the team's cause, this is missing from the English team and Jimmy-Root are only 2 players who dragging their team, Root is in his career's best form atm.

England's squad for the 3rd test
IN - Dawid Malan (Batter), Saqib Mahmood (Seam bowler)
OUT - Zak Crawley, Dom Sibley, Jack Leach

Blind assumptions. How are you so sure that England would have chased down 182? The Indian bowlers were on fire and you forgot about the fact that some catches were dropped.

Bumrah and Shami piled on the pressure while Siraj kept chipping away their wickets regularly. Also, England got lucky in the 1st test thanks to rain interference since 209 isn't a big target. My blind assumption!

England was on the defensive because they were chasing such a huge total. You really want to believe that 182 is such a big total? And especially when they are having 100 plus overs? Once India took the target to 350 plus, there was only two possible outcomes - either a win for India, or draw. It gave the Indian bowlers the freedom to bowl aggressively. On the other hand, if the target was less than 200, then they would be bowling defensively. The England batsmen would be aiming for a win rather than a draw.

And I still believe that without the 90 run partnership between Shami and Bumrah, India would have lost the second match.

When Ishant got out, India were at 209/8 (lead of 182 runs). If the target was less than 200, then England would have chased it with relative ease.

What a test match and what a turn of events. Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah deserve credit for the first innings and Mohammed Siraj for the stormy bowling attack. For me, Brisbane tests are unforgettable, but the victory of Lord's test match, which is hard to express, the test match win will be unforgettable.

Most of the English batsmen are in bad form in recent times which is why a lower target wouldn't have a big difference in my opinion. 182 is a big total for a team full of batsmen who are currently struggling.

Did you observe how they lost 2 wickets for just a run or something? They are over-dependent on Root currently which is something they need to fix asap or India could whitewash them.

I agree with you that England's batsmen are not in good form. But I don't think the Indian batsmen are playing very well. You are right, India would not have won if Shami and Bumrah had not made the necessary partnership. Batsmen are having a lot of trouble to run regularly on this pitch. The previous match was competitive. The next match will also be competitive too. It is difficult to say which team will win.
Is that the England batsman struggling to get form or the Indian bowlers are bowling really well. If it was a series against any other country i am assuming that they would perform well but India has a world class bowling line up and you cannot point out a weak bowler in the Indian team to take advantage.
I am not expecting any surprises, with the way India is playing if the Indian batsman could put a decent score on the board the bowlers will do the rest of the job.
