Today Indian batting lineup played very well. On this day, Rohit Sharma made a century, he played such a good and long innings. Also, Ravindra Jadeja is in the line of making runs and he made 96 runs today but I think that this performance is only for today and tomorrow his batting will not stand with his century.
I am trying to say that tomorrow on the first ball he will be out. I am saying this because the rhythm will finish. Let's see what happens I don't think that he will complete his century and if he doesn't do this the bowler who out him become a hero. Let's see what will happen on the 2nd day of this test match.  Ravindra Jadeja not out at 110 and if he goes on like this, India can reach 500 runs in the first innings.

Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja both scored impressive centuries on the first day of the third Test against England. Jadeja remained unbeaten on 110 runs, helping India reach a total of 326/5 by the end of the day. While reaching 400 runs seems likely, aiming for 500 in the first innings would be an excellent target. However, around 400 runs may not be enough on a flat pitch. The first session tomorrow will be crucial, and England still has a chance to turn the game around. Otherwise they'll need to bat exceptionally well in their first innings to avoid a certain loss.

IMO now Jaddu needs to score Sarfraz's runs as well and not throw his wicket in the morning, which he's famous for.

The way Sarfraz was playing, I don't think Jadeja can make up for it.

Yeah, tough cookie for Jadeja but he should try and must add another 60 runs to his tally. In this series, he already has ran out 2 (Ash, Sarfraz and himself) of his teammates in just 2 matches, which cost 70-100 runs to India.

The pitch is looking flat atm and with the BAZBALL we can count on England to bat aggressively so need 150 runs more.

I think Rohit's reaction was most of us when Sarfaraz got out, dude was playing so good whether it be pace or spin, the run was so unnecessary, though, I can understand their position, in heat of moment such things happen.

Meanwhile, Jadeja played much needed knock today but it may get overshadowed by this run-out.

Sarfaraz will make another century but it won't be of his maiden test innings. It could have been history maker.

Today game is like the senior player responsibility game,because except Jadeja and Rohit Sharma no one score above 100 runs.Already the match was in tie,So Indian team players need to understand the situation of the test match.If this test was loss,the England team draw the next two match easily.So they can win the test 2-1 easily.So the team India was in the biggest demand of winning this test match,Since it’s 3rd test of 5 test match.

Mark wood had played the responsible game by taking 3 bowling wickets and one run out of Sarfaraz Khan.Who had played the test match like a one day match with 62 runs from 66 balls.Rohit was totally disappointed for his dismissal and he expected another century from Sarfaraz khan.

The players of the Indian team were out in a very short time. The England team's bowling performance was very good and the wickets of the Indian team started to fall early. But the two batsmen that kept the Indian team alive, Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja were the two batsmen who scored centuries today. And keeping the England team alive in terms of bowling performance was Mark Wood who single-handedly picked up three wickets. India team now lacks strong players who can perform well in the end, so far England team is doing best in terms of bowling performance.

India won the toss and chose to batting first and India made 326 run in first inning. Rohit Sharma well contribute in this inning made 131 and  complete own century, But S gill got out on zero ball, it was a very shocking moment for India but R  jadeja   again made up for his lack with a good performance. R jadeja made 110 run and also complete his century.Now  look at India's bowling performance to see if they let England meet their innings target or not.

Usually if India keep losing wickets like this then they will not score good runs in the end. All the wickets now under their control are basically the best in terms of bowling performance. So the Indian team must perform patiently for a long time as the test game is a game where wicket-keeping is the main sign. England team has performed very well coming into this Test match, they have performed very poorly in the past.

After the initial fumble, India managed to recover to 326/5 from 33/3. As said 440–450 looks like the par score and anything above needed and with deep batting lineup its possible but only thing is they need to survive the first 10 overs in the morning then the runs will starts flowing.

Really felt for Sarfraz, because he was dominating but it happens though.

Apart from the run out, Jadeja's batting skill helped India too, which we should not forget.

South Africa Women vs Australia Women

Probably no one is interested in the Test match between South Africa Women's team and Australia Women's team. I just checked the scoreboard for this match. And I was very surprised to see the scoreboard.

South Africa women's team lost all wickets to collect only 76 runs. I don't find the pitch batting friendly. It is not expected that South Africa will bat so badly on this pitch. Australia women team managed to score 251 runs in just 56 overs and they lost 5 wickets. Australia women's team can collect more than 300 runs. And they can easily take more than 200 leads. It seems that Australia women's team will win this match by innings.

As two Test matches between India vs England and South Africa vs New Zealand are taking place now, no one is interested in women's cricket.

The batting of the South African batsmen made the pitch seem completely bowling friendly, and the batting of the Australian batsmen made the pitch seem batting friendly. I am confused. Sune Luus collected the maximum 26 runs for South Africa.
Australia women's team captain Alyssa Healy played an innings of 99 runs. Opener Mooney scored 78 runs. Sutherland is also unbeaten with 54 runs. South Africa women's team will surely lose this match.

India won the toss and chose to batting first and India made 326 run in first inning. Rohit Sharma well contribute in this inning made 131 and  complete own century, But S gill got out on zero ball, it was a very shocking moment for India but R  jadeja   again made up for his lack with a good performance. R jadeja made 110 run and also complete his century.Now  look at India's bowling performance to see if they let England meet their innings target or not.

England is normally with Team compare to India. and after winning the toss India start batting and already collect 326 runs and they still have five more wickets to play. so I think India can collect 400 + runs in the first innings very easily. Rohit Sharma played very well till he got out. but another player Ravindra Jadeja still playing and he collected 110 runs till now. now England definitely in under lot of pressure. so i understand from playing  till now India will win this match very easily against England. and England will loss this match in very big merging

The performance of the Indian team at the beginning of the game was really disappointing as they lost 3 wickets for 33 runs. But later managed to score again and the team turned around, Rohit Sharma's excellent batting performance brought the team back to good form again. For Sarfaraz Khan it must have felt as he was run out he would have made a bigger score if he had stayed in the team. However Ravindra Jadeja scored a great century but if he survives the second day he can be expected to score more runs. If India can hold on to the early going, it looks certain to average 430/450 runs, which is certainly possible if Ravindra Jadeja is at the crease.

Test match between South Africa and New Zealand has entered into decisive mode,  tomorrow we defiantly have a winner for sure. South Africa got some advantage in the first inning due to superb bowling but there batsmen once again fail to extend the lead. NZ need 267 to win the test and they are 40/1 at the end of day 3. Chances are that New Zealand will win this and South Africa only hope is if they repeat how they bowl in first innings.

Still two batters yet to bat and Ash can hang on long too and the wicket look amazing for run scoring so I would say India need to score as much as they can and atleast for two sessions then the score will close to 480.

Jaddu has the capability too but can he survive the morning? And he should and just fades away the run out if he scores big daddy runs in this innings.

[rojan]

In the 1st Test match of New Zealand vs South Africa, New Zealand team won by 281 runs. New Zealand team came to bat and scored 511 runs in 144 overs in 1st Innings and scored 179 runs in 43 overs in 2nd Innings. South Africa team went to bat in 1st Innings.  162 runs in 72.5 overs were all out. In the 2nd Innings, South Africa team came out to bat and scored 247 runs in 80 overs, losing 10 wickets. South Africa team did not bat well.

[JahriMeayer]

New Zealand playing 2nd test in their land at Seddon Park stadium against South Africa. 1st innings already end and 2nd innings is running. In 1st innings SA has scored 242 runs and NZ has scroed 211 runs. And in 2nd innings, SA has scored 235 runs where they played worst but David Bedingham(110) save them by his century. Besides till now NZ has scored 40-1. And they still need 227 runs to win. in 1st innings, both team performed brilliantly. Due to good bowling, both team have done kind of similar runs, but not even able to crossed 300 runs. So 227 runs may sound easy for NZ of they can hold their top wickets cause their all-rounder and bowling weren't perform well in 1st innings. But Tom Latham, Kane Williamson, Rachin Ravindra could change the game in their flavor anytime

[rojan]

New Zealand vs South Africa 2nd Test match New Zealand team need 48 runs. New Zealand batsman Tom Latham is out for 30 from 57 balls. Devon Conway is out for 17 runs from 44 balls. Rachin Ravindra is out for 20 runs from 72 balls.Rachin  Ravindra did not play well in batting today. Kane Williamson started a great performance in batting. He scored 105 runs in 214 balls.

[JSRAW]

As usual, Jadeja didn't bother the scoreboard much and got out. He followed the typical Jaddu script, go not out by the end of the day and gift your wicket the next day early in the morning.

I hope it's not a repeat of 1st inning of the first match, where India handed out the advantage to Poms by losing 5 wickets cheaply. The tail needs to wag today, wishful thinking.

[Out of mind]

The batting performance of the Indian team on the first day was huge for them. But no one had planned for India's poor batting performance on the second day. The England team had a great bowling performance today which easily put the Indian batsmen under pressure and India lost wickets quickly. At the moment, India's collection of 357 runs with the loss of 7 wickets, if they can hold on to the wickets, may be over 400 runs on the second day.

I think the Indian team did a great job batting on the first day. They showed their skills and it looked like they were going to do well in the whole match. But the second day was not good. The Indian team didn't bat well and it was disappointing. According to the current situation if India can manage to hold on to their wickets they have the potential to reach a score of over 400 runs on the second day. And now they have made 364 runs and still lost 7 wickets.

Jurel looking better than I expected, certainly a better choice than Bharat. We are seeing some proper test cricket being played by Ashwin Jurel, also gotta give applause to Stokes for how he plays with the field, and how he tries to bait the batters.

India is at 380 right now, minimum 400 is on cards, I stick with 400 despite 3 wickets left because I feel after 1 wickets falls from, there won't be much run increase — defend, defend and out.

Jimmy Anderson hasn't had much success, only 1 wicket so far, may be due to pressure to reach 700 wickets, or is it not-so helpful pitch?

[Haunebu]

I hope it's not a repeat of 1st inning of the first match, where India handed out the advantage to Poms by losing 5 wickets cheaply. The tail needs to wag today, wishful thinking.

Your predictions about Jadeja are always spot on. You read him perfectly. He really needs to work on that particular weakness of his.

Also, India is in a great position at the moment thanks to the middle order and bottom order scoring crucial runs. Jurel and Ashwin are making sure that India cross the 400 line mark which I feel is pretty competitive.
