Think if we win the first session that should be the game. With the pitch flat you would hope for 400+ this innings.

India will no doubt bat a lot better second time round. With a flat pitch, a more disciplined Indian batting performance if it's not swinging it will be a battle to get 10 wickets, so I would be a little concerned if we got rolled for under 300 from here.

Need to continue our dominance and put on a big first innings score. Great chance for our top order to get some runs and confidence.

You will lose by an innings.. England already have an 100+ lead with 10 wickets.

England fans laughing now because of cloud but India are bowling now . Even if India can cut lead 150 maybe good chance still day 2 not started

As good as England were yesterday, India were extremely poor. Rahul, Pant and Rohit's dismissals were awful wickets to give away. Bumrah was good and Shami had some nice deliveries but were unable to build pressure as any bad ball, and there were a fair few, were nicely put away to the boundary by our openers. The fielding was wayward too, overthrows, sluggish run out attempts and Rohit not really ever looking like taking that edge from Hameed for his 50.

I'd expect them to come back hard this morning so hopefully Burns and Hameed can blunt them for the first hour to allow us to bat the out of the game.

Burns gone, that was almost unplayable to be fair.

Burns bowled. Good ball from Shami. Good innings by Rory. Malan in.

Good innings Burns, that was a good delivery.

Tough work out there at the moment, just need to stick it out and it should get easier this afternoon.

England team try to best in world but scoring just 2 run over since this morning. Scared of India bowlers and if 2 early wickets then India will might be back in game

The last three England opening partnerships to last 45 overs or more:

2021 Burns/Hameed v India at Leeds
2016 Cook/Hameed v India at Visakhapatnam
2016 Cook/Hameed v India at Rajkot

Shame for Hameed, did a great job yesterday but was going nowhere today and looked a bit stuck.

You're right back in it now...oh wait Root is in

My word Can't give away cheap runs like that after scoring so few.

posted on 26/8/21

Disappointed with Hameed today. Appreciate he had to play himself in and start again, whilst the bowling was much better. But he showed no intent today, that was a Sibley knock and you could see the wicket coming.

Promising knock overall though.

posted on 26/8/21

Yeah he batted beautifully yesterday but looked set on just seeing out the morning session today. After the carnage of yesterday, I can understand why he would have perhaps been more hesitant but considering how he batted yesterday, he needed to be a bit more positive today.

posted on 26/8/21

Hameed was too slow. Game was going nowhere. Probably a blessing in disguise that he is out because now its down to the flair players. Needs to be a little more positive.
