159-3
Hartley has a maiden Test wicket of Shubman Gill after Root caught and bowled the dangerous Jaiswal earlier in the session.1 -
222-3 at lunch
Stokes demonstrating incredible faith in Hartley - 20 overs (1-97) as opposed to 11 (1-32) and just two today from Leach. They are both left arm orthodox and Leach is our number one spinner so it can only be one of two things - that Hartley really is considered more of an attacking option or that Leach isn't very well (it's well documented that he suffers from crohn's disease). Either way, I am struggling to get my head around it.0 -
Scores elsewhere - The Lions are 67-3 in their second innings following their 152 and India A's 493. Australia are 24-4 in reply to West Indies 3110

I'm not saying that this is a bad thing in the case of TNT but you can tell that they've thrown together their coverage by virtue of the lack of analysis and nobody bar the commentators from the host feed (including unfortunately KP) and a voiceover in between breaks. This is the biggest Test challenge for us apart from say the Ashes (and even then playing in India is probably harder) and TNT have clearly opted to do this on the cheap. Would have been good to hear the views of someone like Lord Gower for example.1

Rehan strikes - Shreyas smashes the ball to the only fielder on the legside boundary, Hartley
223-4

I wonder how many times, in the history of English Test cricket, we have bowled just one seamer for the duration of a completed two innings match?0
-
Again Leach bowls just two overs before being taken off (and went for two runs in total) - 13 overs in four spells - albeit with Jadeja, a left hander, the preference to Root bowling to him is, perhaps, an understandable one.0
-
Rehan resorts to bowling pies - goes for two maximums in the one over. India take the lead at 250-4

The two rookies have taken 2-156 off 31 whereas the two most experienced players have 2-64 off 20. Answers on a postcard please!0

Leach claims the wicket of Jadeja, caught at short leg. Jadeja reviews even before the finger goes up and the slowmo confirms that there is a gap between bat and pad the size of the Mersey Tunnel. India still have their three reviews and we have, well, none!!!0
-
Thank the Lord for suicidal Indian batsmen. KL Rahul plants a long hop from Hartley straight down the throat of Rehan. Out for 86 (123)
288-50 -
Johnny B fielding at a very silly point to Rehan Ahmed. Rather you than me mate!!!0

309-5 and a lead of 63 at tea0

Intriguing contest in Australia unfolding!0

Indeed. Australia 161-7 in reply to the Windies 311. Meanwhile The Lions are 154-5 and still need another 187 to make India A bat again.Leuth said:Intriguing contest in Australia unfolding!

Smith opening doesn't seem to be the answer either.1 -
I've read somewhere that they will have a proper studio set up for the second Test, but didn't have time for this game.Addick Addict said:I'm not saying that this is a bad thing in the case of TNT but you can tell that they've thrown together their coverage by virtue of the lack of analysis and nobody bar the commentators from the host feed (including unfortunately KP) and a voiceover in between breaks.

Oh dear. Don't like to see that. Ashwin and Jadeja both at the same end and fighting for the right to stay in. Ashwin goes run out by Hartley.
358-70 -
Root has bowled absolutely beautifully. Good experience this. Ultimately we are 2nd best by a distance but fighting hard.2
-
Axar is a ridiculous player to have at No 9, even if it's just Hartley he's smacked around.1

This Test is sadly going the way we all predicted.
This is what happens when you have no warm up matches.
India away is probably the hardest tour of all, not having proper preparation is criminal.3 -
England U19 192 all out off 46.3 overs0

I think warm up or otherwise we would've been completely outclassed in these conditions.blackpool72 said:This Test is sadly going the way we all predicted.

But a few warm up games to get acclimatised to the conditions would have helped.
By the time England get used to the conditions now we will probably be 2 nil down.2 -
Leach had a knee problem which restricted how much he could bowl, which didn't help matters...0
