Match 89: India 253-8 (Jurel 49, Deep 0) Kuldeep along with Jurel reduced the deficit to 100 this morning. How long can Akash Deep last?
For the first time ever (I think), I typed the words, Good morning, Rockets
“When playing Tests in India, it is always worth checking the first-class statistics of the ‘second-string’ players that India has brought in.
“Jurel – Highest score of 249 points, five other 50s. Kuldeep – Highest score of 117, other six 50s.
“After following Jurrel, I couldn’t help but think he was making a ‘super’ effort—just like his pseudonym Jor-El, the father of Superman.
“In Australian football rules we have ‘father and son’ (and now also ‘father and daughter’) rules for recruiting offspring to the same club – if this applied to cricket, would Superman play for India?” Insert here Jokes about Tendulkar etc. but my brain wasn’t quite up to it this morning.
wicket! Kuldeep Anderson 28 (India 253-8)
Out of nowhere! Unfortunately, Kuldeep hit the ball onto his boots, from where it rolled back and hit the stumps. After a vigil of 131, he hung his head in despair. Well done to the job, they drank on the pitch.
Round 88: India 252-7 (Jurel 48, Kuldeep 28) A tall, slender British spinner replaced another tall, slender British spinner. India’s accumulation strategy has not changed, just pushing and trotting orders.
Love this stat from yesterday:
Shoaib Bashir’s last two four-game series, just nine months apart:
Northants 2s: James Sayles, Arush Buchek, Simon Kerrigan, Hugh Evans
India: Shubman Gill, Rajapatidar, Ravindra Jadeja, Yashas Vijayswar
Crazy story, great choices, great captain.

Round 87: India 251-7 (Jurel 46, Kuldeep 28) England were briefly excited when Fox rolled over to catch Anderson behind him, but there was no knock. A propulsive single brought Jurrell his highest Test score.
“Disaster! Stephen Dobie taps. “Willow TV live broadcast interrupted! Does anyone have a link to the radio review (available in the US)? Thanks. ” Talksport is on youtube – but I don’t know if you can watch it in the US?
Inning 86: India 250-7 (Jurel 46, Kuldeep 28) The English fans in the crowd looked more pensive than the Indian fans. The tireless Bashir once again finished the match as India took three singles.
Over 85: India 247-7 (Jurel 44, Kuldeep 27) India plays tricks and runs with Jimmy.
“Good morning, Tanya, good morning, Brian! Good morning, Stephen in California! Good to know there are at least three of us here…” Hello, Martin Wright. …”Barbara Dixon, right? You young soul rebel, you! Taylor Swift, eat your heart out. At the same time, who else has that feeling of “Oh my gosh, India are going to overtake England by lunchtime”? Or does pessimism set in early? “Oh my gosh, do you think I ruined my street cred? Too bad she didn’t play i know him very well. Yes, India did to England what England did to India yesterday.
Round 84: India 242-7 (Jurel 41, Kuldeep 25) Next to me, the dog sighed, a hint of fox in her fur. Bashir again acted confident and cautious – which is actually shocking for someone so young.
Match 83: India 241-7 (Jurel 40, Kuldeep 25) The old war horse was summoned and immediately cantered into a perfect battle line. India twice came close to being in trouble as to whether to contest, but ultimately succeeded.
Over 82: India 240-7 (Jurel 39, Kuldeep 25) India’s tail now became infuriating as Kuldeep took advantage of the new ball to force Bashir towards the ropes.
In comms, they gave a sage nod to the seven-minute roll allowed this morning to calm the pitch.
Over 81: India 235-7 (Jurel 39, Kuldeep 20) The new ball immediately went to Robinson, not Jimmy Anderson. Just two slips of paper. Oh, it’s a nice straight drive from Jurrell, Robinson over-delivers as he looks for a swing and it’s the first time this morning after half an hour the ball has gone over the ropes.
Over 80: India 230-7 (Jurel 34, Kuldeep 20) Point, point, another Bashir girl, the blessed new ball has arrived.
Ah, Brian Withington, hello! “You ask if anyone is awake to send emails, I’m wondering how you manage your 4am shift? I’ve always wanted to set an alarm early but always watch something on YouTube or something and then realize it’s close to midnight 3 o’clock, so might as well get on with it. Of course I’ll just have to send an email once in a while and doze off intermittently while you read and organize them while summarizing every match of cricket.”
I have a desire to go to bed early, but it’s hard to stick to it. Yesterday, my dear, I went on a double date with Vanya before the last night of Barbara Dickson’s farewell tour, as a plus one for OBO favorite TIm de Lisle.
Match 78: India 230-7 (Jurel 34, Kuldeep 20) Robinson bowled two no-balls in his first 3 deliveries and here’s a statistic: In his 20 Tests, he bowled 77 no-balls and took 76 wickets. Money does the rest. The current partnership has expanded to an annoying 53.
Match 78: India 226-7 (Jurel 33, Kuldeep 19) Kuldeep watched through the grille of his helmet as Bashir rushed in, passing the referee on his approach like a young man on a BMX swerving out of your way on the pavement.
Match 77: India 226-7 (Jurel 33, Kuldeep 19) The weather is gloomy in Ranchi and ‘Fresh’ reports our man on the ground in a hoodie, Ali Martin. Joe Root made a fine save at slip to stop Kuldeep from sliding towards the ropes, and Robinson bent his back later to dig out a bouncer.
Inning 76: India 223-7 (Jurel 31, Kuldeep 18) Bashir passed it again in the blink of an eye, only one away. Kuldeep bends his knees and moves forward nicely – good movement so early in the day.
Good morning, Stephen Dobie! “Watching the lads play in California was perfect Saturday night entertainment. Just wondering if it’s too far to reach Ramasala if we draw 2-2!”
Round 75: India 223-7 (Jurel 31, Kuldeep 18) With six overs left before the second new ball was available, Oli Robinson started at the other end. Almost immediately the line was crossed again. Some relatively simple singles and then some extra bounce, which surprised Kuldeep Yadav.
Over 74: India 219-7 (Jurel 30, Kuldeep 17) Approaching the crease in the blink of an eye, LBW appeals for the first ball, Kuldeep fends him off and the Bami Army crosses Jerusalem. A young girl.
Our young Woking hero There is a ball.
This is a great article that Barney read Yesterday on Shoaib Bashir:
When I opened my eyelids, the players came out. If you wake up, give me a call, I’d love to keep you company.
Still need to know how Alastair Cook and Steven Finn look fresh every day in the studio at this inopportune moment. No Ian Ward fat eyes, just clean, tight, boy-next-door manners.
Young Jaiswal holding the microphone, And was asked how he learned to bat these wickets? !“I always like to challenge myself, I learn from my online courses and learn from my seniors.” And also very humble. But India will need more fireworks from him in the second innings, facing a possible deficit of more than 100 runs.
Preface
good morning! Before you England fans get too excited, remember one thing: at the start of day three third In Tests, England were on top and continued to play the right kicks.
Nonetheless, England were strong once again as day three began in Ranchi. They reduced India’s line-up to sucking crumbs, stopping the huge Jaiswal from reaching triple figures and singing hosannas to their 20-year-old spinner Shoaib Bashir, His 4-83 was the longest run by an England bowler since Graeme Swann’s 6-90 in 2013, according to @CricVizdata . England entered the day with a lead of 134, while India had just three wickets to play for.
I have to go and rest for a few hours, but we’ll meet here shortly before the game starts at 4am GMT. Don’t miss a beat.
