Rehan has probably only bowled one bad ball in his spell but the pressure created has been a joint venture with the 41 year old seamer at the other end who has gone for just 27 runs off 15 overs
Bar Jaiswal, there is a same trend with the Indian batsmen as in the First Test but they at least had the excuse of a difficult wicket there. In this innings, the men out have faced 41,46, 59, 72 and 51 balls respectively. Hopefully we will show a bit more application when it is our turn to bat. Dravid will be going absolutely bonkers with them because if there's one thing he hates it is players giving it up once they are in - he wasn't known as "The Wall" for nothing!

We've done really well given the nature of the wicket and the fact that we have three rookie spinners plus a part time spinner in the team. The match could well revolve around how quickly we can get Jaiswal out in the morning.
Jaiswal goes to his 100 (151) by pumping Hartley over long on for 6
he certainly came up the hard way according to wiki ..
'' . At the age of ten, he moved to Mumbai to receive cricket training at Azad Maidan. He was initially given accommodation in a dairy shop in return for work but was evicted by the shopkeeper as he was unable to work frequently. As a result, he lived in a tent with the groundsmen at the Maidan,[6] where he sold panipuri to make ends meet.[7]
After living in tents for three years, Jaiswal's cricketing potential was spotted in December 2013 by Jwala Singh, who ran a cricket academy in Santacruz. He provided Jaisawal with a place to stay,[2][8] before becoming his legal guardian and obtaining his power of attorney''

No different to a few Premier League Academy footballers who think they've made it before they've kicked a ball in anger is it?
I overheard Golfie saying Bazball on this pitch will get us 150 ahead by close of play tomorrow. Just whether we can then hold India to a small enough lead for us to not worry about batting on a minefield in 4th innings
New ball taken early this morning. Anderson not happy with Ashwin standing so close to him when he’s running in to bowl.
Some suggestions in the commentary box that Ashwin is trying to push the limit on how close he can get to running on the wicket and create rough areas on the wicket for later in the match.

Yeah massively overbowled today. Good on turning tracks, but lacks the control needed on flat ones.
