Will England please accept when it is right to just play not to lose!

And why when Crawley was hit first over didn’t he stay on the ground wait for the medic and waste 10 mins like India would have in this position?

[henbet22]

There you go. Grind. Try not to lose. It is a grind on a slow track though. Bashir big 4th innings for the lad unless India bundle us out for not much 3rd innings which is possible.

Woakes might come to the party 2nd innings. We need a few performances to get back in the series.

[henbet22]

On a knife edge.

Thing is with Stokes stating that they prefer to bowl first cos it gives them more time to take 20 wickets it can become a self fulfilling prophecy on a slow deck and India know this so are playing for time and will be putting England under Bumrah pressure 3rd innings. Bazball or bust. Stuck between 2 stools here I think. Could be a good watch at some point this old school grind.

See if we can mop up the tail without Josh Tongue. Whenever that may be.......

Just seen the very worst of Indian cricket. They waste time through the day but when we turn their tactics back on them they don’t like it and protest vehemently!

[henbet22]

Not taking guard is crossing the Rubicon though. Could make the last innings a farce. Should create change which is a good thing. Michael Vaughan is fanning the flames and England happy to escalate via Southee. Spirit of Cricket.....
Bazball or bust today. Can't wait.

Amazing day of test cricket. Ball is still relatively new so England could somehow nick this.
