297/2

Crawley 172 not out. What a piece of batting by the young man, incredible.

AUS in trouble here.

I am very surprised by England's batting. It's a test match so I don't think so. It felt like I was watching an ODI match, England scored 320 runs in just 55 overs. England scored an average of 5.9 runs per over. They lost only two wickets. Opener Zak Crawley remained unbeaten on 185 and Joe Root on 69. England collected 74 runs in the last 10 overs. Crawley and Root are doing great batting. If you keep batting like this, it will not be difficult for England to take a lead of more than 300 runs. England are now more likely to collect 600-plus in their first innings.

Yeh it's shocking too but I think England want really to level the series as they are already behind with 2-1, so they will try hard as much as possible to scored higher lead in order to build pressure on thier opponent and make a strong hold on them, no doubt they have some worst performance in those previous matches that's why they improve much to take revenge and victory too,
From opponent side the top runs leaking Bowler are one of top but I think England learn from his previous mistake and done thier homework truely and correctly. Currently thier oppner are undefeated with 180+, if they continue thier rethym I am quite sure they will scored above 500

Crawley 172 not out. What a piece of batting by the young man, incredible.

AUS in trouble here.

In the end, Australia managed to take the wicket of ZakCrawley. Zak Crawley was sent back to the dressing room by Cameron Green. Zak Crawley's innings stopped at 189 runs. Crawley was just 11 runs short of the double century. He had an excellent innings. 336 runs England lose their third wicket. Joe Root is still unbeaten with 77 runs. Now we are not sure whether we will see England's batting disaster, or we will see another excellent partnership of Root and Brook. But the England team may be able to collect up to 500.

England are really playing well in today's match which surprised us.  England have already scored 337 runs and they still have 7 wickets to play. England have lost twice in the last three matches but Australia have lost only once.  But coming into the fourth match, England started the game brilliantly and looked like they could cross 500 runs in the first innings which would make the second innings easier for them.  Australia is under a lot of pressure this time and it looks like Australia will lose this match

After their last win in the test match, the England team is looking in supreme form and I think they should win this match and level the series
2-2. England are leading by 30 runs with seven wickets still in hand, which means that they can take a lead of 150-200 runs very easily. If this is achieved, It will be difficult for the Aussie to come back in this match. The best thing they can do is to draw this test match but for this, they need to play a good long innings.

Zak Crawley played a run a ball innings where he scored 189 runs in only 182 balls. This is by far very good as he not only scored huge runs but score at a pace that you would usually do not find in the test cricket.

It was a great innings from Zak Crawley and unfortunately he missed his double century, Joe Root is on his way to his century and it is going to be a difficult session for Australia unless they fold the England first innings as soon as possible. Since it is just the second day and England only lead by 34 runs and plenty of time left in this match and with the way the match is poised England will score a huge first innings lead and Test the Australian batsman and level the series.

Edit: Joe Root is back in the pavilion and the match is getting interesting .

India V West Indies

India's two openers are also playing brilliantly in the second and final Test match of the series against the West Indies. The West Indies captain won the toss and took the fielding decision. But the performance of West Indies bowlers is not good. India's two openers collected 125 runs in 27 overs. The West Indies bowlers could not pick up a single wicket. Rohit Sharma remained unbeaten with 67 runs and Jaiswal 52 runs. India team is gradually moving towards big collection. If the West Indies bowlers do not break this pair quickly, then India will collect at least 500 runs in the first innings. Like the first match, the team will be badly defeated in this match.

Australia batted in their first innings, amassing 317 for the loss of a complete wicket. On the second day, England put in a great batting performance to meet the target set by Australia. Today, England managed to score more runs than Australia. Right now England have lost only four of their wickets but England can score a lot of runs if they hold the game till the end. England have enough wickets in hand so they will surely bat well to add runs. At the moment England have collected 360 runs and lost 4 wickets.

Even though Joe Root missed his century and Zak Crawley missed his double century. England is still in every commanding position right now in this mess. And I believe that’s what matters. England has scored 360/4 and they have a lead of 43 right now. Joe Root is still in the middle and Jonny Bairstow still has not come on to bat.

So a lot of batting power left for England. I think England should try to score quickly now. They should try to get a lead around 120-130 and declare the innings. That is going to give them a good chance to win in my opinion. England has the situation under control and they should not take any dumb decision at this moment.

From here I would say England have clinched the 4th test match and we might witness the decisive 5th test after 2-2. I say this because from here it looks like England can make a lead of atleast 150 runs. And if this happens there are good chances that the target won't be anything more than a 200-250 in the best case. So I think England has really made a big step ahead in this match. At Max if Australia can pull out anything of this match would now be a draw.

[Essential10]

A great battle between the two teams has begun to win the series and tie the series. England is batting in the first innings in the fourth Test between England and Australia.England went into bat when Australia were all out for 317 in the first innings on the second day. Zak Crawley had a great batting performance of 189 runs. Besides, Joe Root and Moeen Ali completed their fifties. England are displaying ODI style batting and heading towards big collections. England ended the second day with a lead of 67 runs and 6 wickets in hand.

[JSRAW]

After the first session, Windies kept things tight nicely, possibly their first 14 tight overs in this series. They picked up 3 quick wickets and now they have some chance to pick up a couple more too.

Kohli and Rahane would make perfect prize wickets in this situation. Personally, i am waiting for Chadwin. Madlad becomes a beast when he bats against the Windies, hope he gets a promotion although chances are slim because of Ishan.

[Haunebu]

So many tests going on simultaneously which is why it's tough to keep track of them. Anyway, England are screwing Australia pretty badly who are missing Lyon quite a bit. Rain is the only obstacle left for them now.

Also, Rohit missed out on another century though India are all set to decimate the Windies once again. Another pointless test.

[Fuso.hp]

Pakistan won the first test match against Sri Lanka but despite winning the first test match, Pakistan's second innings was not good at all. If Pakistan had finished their first innings behind Sri Lanka or if Sri Lanka had been able to accumulate some more runs on the scoreboard in their second innings then it would have been very difficult for Pakistan to win this match against Sri Lanka. Because Pakistan ended up winning by 4 wickets. In other words, Pakistan lost six valuable wickets to set a small target. The four wickets that remained unbeaten at Pakistan's end were four wickets but professional batsmen usually fall into the category of bowlers, so if there were a few more runs, surely Pakistan's last four batsmen would not have scored those runs.

[JSRAW]

Also, Rohit missed out on another century though India are all set to decimate the Windies once again. Another pointless test.

They did dominate Windies in the first session but the second session was completely dominated by Windies. They picked up 4 wickets and gave only 61 runs. Having said that, India went with a deep batting lineup, where Ashwin is at number 8 so still plenty of batting left.

Pointless test, we can blame the schedule or bilateral commitment but it's a matter of full 12 points as well.

India lost their fourth wicket for 182 runs. After losing the first wicket for 139 runs, India lost 4 valuable wickets to collect only 43 runs. It was not expected that India's top order and middle order would play so badly after the two openers got off to such a good start. Shubman Gill and Rahane scored 10 and 8 runs respectively. Kohli remains unbeaten on 18 off 44 balls. There are experienced batsmen like Kohli, Jadeja, Ishan Kishan and Aswin. So India still has scope to collect. Let's see how much India can collect in the first innings. But collecting less than 300 they will face a big problem.

India is at good position. I don't expect India to perform big against these teams. In the first match it was a very big win. In this match West Indies should've corrected themselves and well prepared. Everyone have scored good and expected a century from Jaiswal, and this time it didn't happened. Lets see how the match gets started in the third day.

Meanwhile in the fourth Ashes Cricket test match, England is at the better position by the end of day 2 with the lead of 67 runs and 6 wickets in hand. Opener Crawley have scored 189 runs from 182 balls which is really impressive. Stokes and Brook on the crease can expect another 100-150 runs for sure.

Surprising fightback from England actually. After watching their performance during the first two matches, I was thinking that Australia may whitewash the series 5-0. But the addition of Mark Wood and Chris Woakes changed everything. Despite the fact that their premier pace bowler (James Anderson) is out of form, England has managed to restrict Australia to a small total (317). They are at 384/4 now, and with Ben Stokes and Harry Brook at the crease, they should be able to get a first innings lead of at least 200-250 runs.

India went into bat on the first day scoring 288 runs with the loss of 4 wickets. In the match, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma failed to reach their target of century as both got out after scoring half-centuries. Rohit Sharma scored 80 off 143 balls and was later dismissed short of his century. But Ravindra Jadeja and Virat Kohli have scored good runs from the crease and they both form a good pair. Of course Virat Kohli will score a century in the match if he can perform well, at the moment he has collected 87 runs from 161 balls which is on the way to a century. However, if West Indies can improve their batting performance in today's match, they can definitely collect a good score.
