Second Test - India v England

[Yearbyred]

Judging by the first test, winning the toss and batting first is going to be crucial you would think for England.

The pitch really deteriorated on the last couple of days.

As someone else stated leach always bowls better 2nd innings, better than most

Not doing the 4 o'clock start again, I was knackered afterwards. Might take some advice from above and record it.

All 4 lets you restart a live TV show that is in progress so i will get up at 8am and just go to All 4 and press restart programme and watch the whole days play from 8am rather than 4am.

Stoooone!! LBW

0-1

 

[Lefty]

Good opening overs

 

[Lefty]

Getting good bounce and carry

 

[s!ovak]

Olly Stone is looking very good. He's has pace and bounce, and he seems to be able to control it. Could be just the ticket with the Ashes coming back. Imagine Archer and Stone at the WACA

I was just thinking that.

I was just thinking that.

Actually I've just read that the WACA has hosted it's last ever Ashes test match. I can't believe I missed this news. Very sad. I've been fortunate to have seen two matches there and it's somewhere with real character. Loved the grassy bank.

I guess Stone and Archer will have to torment them at the Optus Stadium instead!

India getting into it after that terrible start. Rohit is a dangerous customer when in the mood.

The WACA hosted its last test match 4 years ago?

I must have been living under a rock since then

Rohit isn't hanging about here. With the pitch already playing up we could do with gettinf him sooner rather than later!

Two quick wickets!!!

Kohli cleaned up by Moeen for a duck I don't think I've seen a batsman look so stunned after being clean bowled Refused to walk!

 

[Lefty]

Well, well. Our spinners bite back. What a ball by Moeen to get Kohli.

He couldn’t believe we hadn’t cheated somehow

 

[Lefty]

Rohit has made it look easy. If we can nab him now some pressure has been put back on...

 

[Lefty]

What a great session of test cricket. Good last over before lunch from Stone.

I think rohit looks to have made a winning contribution already. India have made a 4 day pitch here
