Tanvir to Guptill, out Caught by Emrit!! Waoh. You screaming beauty Emrit. Guptill does nothing wrong, gets under the full length and smokes a drive wide and over mid-off. Poor Guptill, he just didn’t know of Emrit’s whereanouts, who leaps up one-handed, timing it to perfection as the ball sticks and refuses to pop out even as […]

Broad to Kohli, out Caught by Ollie Pope!! What a top decision for Aleem Dar. He’s been good in this match. India have lost their captain and the innings defeat looms large. Shortish from Broad, hits the pitch hard and gets it to rise on the batsman, Kohli fends, doesn’t feel the brush on the left glove. […]

Anderson to Kuldeep Yadav, out Bowled!! Inside edge back onto the stumps. Full ball swinging away from off. Kuldeep overcompensates for how he got beaten the previous delivery, plays well outside the line and slides it off the inside edge. Here is the clip of that video:

Broad to Pujara, out Bowled!! This is a brilliant ball and it’s got to be a good nut to go through Pujara’s gate with the way he was batting. Was always wondering why Broad’s bowling scrambled seam when there’s swing out there. Took a long time in the first innings too – maybe 8-9 overs – to […]

Broad to Rahane, out Caught by Jennings!! Sharp catch and Rahane closes his eyes as he yanks his head back before walking off. The rain has started to fall as well. Poor shot. The previous delivery played a huge part in this. Broad throws it full and wide, entices Rahane into the drive who obliges and despite Buttler […]

Anderson to Rahul, out Lbw!! That’s as plumb as it gets. And Rahul shakes his head at Pujara and walks off. Kohli can’t come in to bat yet. Disaster for India. Absolute shambles. This is a man at the peak of his powers at the young age of 36. Sets Rahul up by plotting a leg-gully and then […]

Anderson to Vijay, out Caught by Bairstow!! Vijay walks. Out for a pair. 100th wicket for Anderson at Lord’s. 550th Test wicket as well. What a bowler. What a champion. And Sourav Ganguly on air invents a new phrase for him – the “muscle man”. He has done it again. Vijay will do well to forget this game. This […]

Ali Khan to Tom Cooper, out Caught by Dwayne Bravo!! Wow! Just wow. Dwayne Bravo has this habit of pulling off some stunning catches and here’s another to the list. Two wickets in the over and Ali Khan is on a roll here. Full and outside off, inviting the batsman to drive and moves late to catch […]

Tahir to Warner, out Lbw!! Oh dear. What happened there? Warner wears a shocking expression on his face. Is taken aback by this decision from the umpire. Fired in full, Warner went for the reverse paddle and takes it on the glove. Tahir aborted his appeal mid-way, but before that the umpire had raised his finger. Terrible, […]
