England attacked with 5 slips, England can not hit the ball when it is like this? That is what Kill and Pujara did.
Hanuma Vihari was on the field with 14 runs and Virat Kohli with 1 run. Ben Stokes, who had won the toss earlier, called on India to bat first as the weather was cloudy and they hoped to chase down in the 4th innings.
Schubman Gill started for a very brisk, Anderson hit a flick and a stunning off-drive Audi 2 fours, then Stuart Broad indiscriminately hit a bullshit four, then Gill hit another four in the third man and 17 off 24 balls with 4 fours.
But a ball thrown by Anderson edged the ball hanging from the stand where it should not have come to the 4th stump and was caught straight to Crawley. Schupman Gill left unnecessarily disappointed.
Pujara, with his usual defensive strategy of 2 fours, took 13 off 46 balls and just before the rain came Anderson’s ball could have been left unattended or somewhat blocked if he had gone back and forth. The ball went straight after a fantastic ball pitch and the edge became a catch to Crawley.
Earlier, Crawley made an easy catch to Hanuma Vihari on the ball. Good luck otherwise 3 wickets would have gone by now. India’s batting attitude has not changed either, which means that the habit of hesitant playing has not gone away yet, and their outswingers will keep making us all out until they play like this.
James Anderson travels against time The 35-year-old is also approaching Courtney Walsh’s 180-wicket mark with 172 wickets in 47 matches. ‘What a Player’ in Tony Craig style!
