That was on the cards for Lawrence, he was battling but done at short leg.
This is very tough for any batsman let alone an inexperienced one

Someone’s got to play some shots here. Easier said then done but Sam Curran would be perfect in this situation

We bowled 96 overs without an extra, must be some sort of record.

We’ve done really well to keep their score down but it’s very tough batting conditions.

I don’t think we will but if we could scrape to 250 somehow....

Stokes missed a straight ball. Can’t see them getting 100 here

Several questions...

Have we been rubbish?
Is it the pitch?
It looks like win toss win match.. will icc get involved?

They have bowled very well. The top went yesterday it’s impossible for it not to deteriorate more as the game goes on.

Definite turn and bounce...plus a few dust bombs....very very difficult to bat on.

It might get a bit easier as the ball gets softer I dunno

It’s tough

Speaking to my dad yesterday just before tea, saying it's not a good pitch, but both teams have it,

It's not a 5 day wicket so should be looked at imo

However it is what it is and if we wanna win in India we need to win batting second!

Foakes doing a good job of showing why so many want him in the England team, bit of grit at 7 plus unbelievably good keeping skills.

Don’t mind this wicket at all. Real test of a batsman

Usually very few complaints about green top’s so why do people moan about sub continent wickets

Personally think the toss should be scrapped and give the away team first use

I think someone made a good point on the TMS commentary, a green top does get easier to bat on at some point. Not convinced this wicket will get much easier at any point.

Does it really though. Seen plenty of 2.5 days matches in England

I agree in NZ conditions flatten out completely and usually best to bat on days 4/5 if teams survive
