England vs India | 3rd Test | Nottingham | August 18-22, 2018 | Day 2 Thread

**Kohli, The King of Chase** · 19th August 2018, 15:32

Yes English sinking like no tomorrow. We should have a lead of 150 atleast.

I wouldn't be so confident yet, Bairstow, their best batsman is still out there with Butler.

**mkyawar** · 19th August 2018, 15:36

No Sam Curran

Nevermind,

**the_outsider** · 19th August 2018, 15:37

Bairstow out.

England's last proper batting pair on the crease now.

**Oligochaetes** · 19th August 2018, 15:38

Wow...110-6...

**Kashmirilion** · 19th August 2018, 15:38

Not taking anything away from India they have bowled superbly after lunch but england batting is shockingly bad.

**Varun** · 19th August 2018, 15:38

Ooh la la what a ball!

**Sherlock** · 19th August 2018, 15:38

This is India's to lose from here. A mixture of poor batting and good bowling have turned this game on it's head.

**jeeteshssaxena** · 19th August 2018, 15:39

Pandya delivering with the ball.

**Bhaag Viru Bhaag** · 19th August 2018, 15:39

Indian batting was also bad in the first two tests.

**Varun** · 19th August 2018, 15:40

We do NOT want a Woakes run-fest here.

Pandya bowling well

His Twitter followers should be happy now

**Josh** · 19th August 2018, 15:42

This is what happens when you get bowling conditions. England got a sunny day to bat at lords.

**Oligochaetes** · 19th August 2018, 15:43

Pandya is doing a Woakes and Curran today

**Varun** · 19th August 2018, 15:43

Hopefully should be batting before close.

**Markhor** · 19th August 2018, 15:44

England sliding fast here. India set for a big 1st inns lead.

**Varun** · 19th August 2018, 15:44

Yay!

So far so good from Pant too.

Yes in this test.

**GLORY OF '92** · 19th August 2018, 15:44

What a chance for India. Great bowling.

**Josh** · 19th August 2018, 15:44

Excellent bowling and an equally excellent catch by Pant.

**Varun** · 19th August 2018, 15:45

Still a bunch of boundaries in supply.

**Bhaag Viru Bhaag** · 19th August 2018, 15:45

Get buttler out as soon as possible.

**topspin** · 19th August 2018, 15:46

All that Pandya talent coming through. Where are his critics hiding now?

**Bhaag Viru Bhaag** · 19th August 2018, 15:47

Hold your horses. It's just one inning.

Really poor bowling this morning, took of all the pressure of the new ball. Bowling short and wide, England will score 500 if they keep bowling like that!

Spoke too soon bro.

**ManFan** · 19th August 2018, 15:47

Right here.

He’s doing great with the ball after AGES and still hasn’t scored a fifty on this tour.

Let’s stay tuned to see if he can turn it around.

**Josh** · 19th August 2018, 15:47

Addition of Bhuvi would have been great here. If the ball moves England players are equally worst players of such bowling.

**Kashmirilion** · 19th August 2018, 15:49

No doubt both teams batting is bad on swinging pitches but you expect england to play the moving ball better than the indians being home conditions but they are aweful. So it comes back to had India prepared more on these pitches results would've been different their batting is more than capable of outdoing England's.

**Sam99** · 19th August 2018, 15:50

Pandya making shami look part timer here.

**Varun** · 19th August 2018, 15:50

This is Pandya's best day in cricket lol.

Pant has been brilliant as well.

**jeeteshssaxena** · 19th August 2018, 15:50

Yaar ye to pakistani bowlers ki yaad dila di. Jiyo pandya.

**Markhor** · 19th August 2018, 15:50

Terrific bowling.

**King Kong** · 19th August 2018, 15:50

Another excellent catch from Pant. Where are his doubters?

**jeeteshssaxena** · 19th August 2018, 15:50

*purane Pakistani bowler.

**Tyler Durden** · 19th August 2018, 15:50

Brilliant spell. Pandya is shutting the mouths of his haters!!!

**jnaveen1980** · 19th August 2018, 15:50

You have to factor in they had the perfect bowling conditions and attack for those conditions in the 2nd test.First test could have gone either way.

**topspin** · 19th August 2018, 15:51

Another one for Pandya. Would like to see him dedicate this to Michael Holding who couldn't stop firing shots at him.

**Josh** · 19th August 2018, 15:52

Yup pathetic attitude from BCCI. Should have organised 2 test against Ireland considering they would provide good bowling pitches.

**Oligochaetes** · 19th August 2018, 15:52

Four for Pandya....wow...

**gani999** · 19th August 2018, 15:52

Gosh, and how has this panned out!

I can't watch the game live but it looks to me like Pant has a very safe pair of hands behind the wicket.

**mkyawar** · 19th August 2018, 15:52

Will they save follow on

**Varun** · 19th August 2018, 15:53

Buttler still out there.

**Markhor** · 19th August 2018, 15:53

Buttler may have to go in one day mode and lift England to at least 200.

**topspin** · 19th August 2018, 15:53

I can hardly hear Holding on the mic, can hear the disgust on his face from here loool.

**ManFan** · 19th August 2018, 15:53

Pandya with Fo, Fo, Fo!

**Hasan123** · 19th August 2018, 15:53

Time for a few of our fans to go into hiding. On this forum when you have 1 or 2 bad games , The opinions go over the top.

**Oligochaetes** · 19th August 2018, 15:54

5 catches for Pant too...great debut my boy!

**world cup captain** · 19th August 2018, 15:54

I wouldn't put it like that. Holding was only stating the obvious as Pandya was looking toothless in both batting and bowling before this inning.

**Markhor** · 19th August 2018, 15:54

Yeah it's not easy keeping in these conditions with the ball hooping around but he's taken some sharp catches.

**ManFan** · 19th August 2018, 15:54

Five!

That’s a great performance from Pandya.

**Oligochaetes** · 19th August 2018, 15:54

Fifer for Pandya....amazing...

**Markhor** · 19th August 2018, 15:54

He's praising him now for bowling fuller length.

5 fer !

**Varun** · 19th August 2018, 15:55

If he gets another one right away we can make them follow on lol.

Trail by 201.

**jeeteshssaxena** · 19th August 2018, 15:55

Fifer fifer

**Tyler Durden** · 19th August 2018, 15:55

Pandya you beauty! That's the IPL Power my boy! That's the way you shut down the mouths of your haters!!!

Spot on

**Mahee** · 19th August 2018, 15:55

Broad is a great lower order batsman...he can easily score a 50 here and annoy Indian bowling

**BaankeJi** · 19th August 2018, 15:55

5 fer for Pandya.

**Oligochaetes** · 19th August 2018, 15:55

OMG...is a follow on possible?

**Kaptan** · 19th August 2018, 15:55

Pandaya

I am sorry.

Got his first 5 wicket haul. He will now be selected for the next 10 tests on the basis of this.

Not since Varun Aaron bounced him in 2014.

**world cup captain** · 19th August 2018, 15:56

England now truly exposed for the weak team they are. Like I said before the series, if India play to their potential, they should win this series.

**BlackShadow** · 19th August 2018, 15:56

The conditions in this match have been identical to the 1st Test. After an easy first day for batting, conditions have gotten tougher.

What England needed here was a magical Kohli-like inning, which never came.

**Kashmirilion** · 19th August 2018, 15:57

This isn't the time for these sort of statements, should be rejoicing this moment. It's been a very tough tour for him and India.

That is downright unfair. He should be immediately dropped after this test

**jeeteshssaxena** · 19th August 2018, 15:57

Follow on nahi de paye

Yeah thats the power of IPL. Guy performs after 10 innings and look at the joy on his fans faces lol. See you again after 10 innings.

**Oligochaetes** · 19th August 2018, 15:58

It was 54-0....... and then calamity..

**babajee** · 19th August 2018, 15:58

Congrats.

**Last Monetarist** · 19th August 2018, 15:58

I'd enforce the follow-on in these conditions, if a wicket falls here.

Is this your first time watching a cricket match since 2014. Genuinely curious.

**Dagestani_Eagle** · 19th August 2018, 15:58

Pandya

In long run gonna hurt india
