England tour of India (5 Tests)

[wasteyouryouth]

I thought Foakes played very well too, seemed much more proactive than the first innings.

It’s easily the best spin attack Pope is likely to face.

I think this keeps being forgotten in most discussions about Indian spinners not being as effective in overseas conditions as at home, most host nations have been trying to serve pitches that take spin out of the equation and Indian test captains have been poor at managing spinners both in their team selections and their usage.

Bazball approach has indeed made this match exciting and for the first in years India looking at backfoot in a home test match.

England to win this test.

A lead in excess of 200+ incoming.

England to win this test.

A lead in excess of 200+ incoming.

Translation - I agree

Missing Mohammed Shami here with the Old ball and reverse swing.

 

[Bigby Wolf]

200+ for Ollie 'Ian Bell' Pope incoming.

[Bigby Wolf]

One of the best Innings by an overseas batter in India.

Well played Ollie Pope could well be not only a match winning but a historic series defining innings.

I beileve that Indian bowlers didn't bowl or utilize much in that rough patch.

If English spinners can utilize the spot it will not be easy at all.
