2nd Test: India v England at Visakhapatnam on Nov 17-21,

[hopeforthebest]

This is starting to look like one of those dreadful Indian pitches of old. The zero bounce is far more dangerous than spin. Duckett out in almost identical fashion to his previous dismissals both here and in BD. Josh Buttler might be playing next game.

might be a very long tour for Duckett.
might actually be best he misses a few test until the technique against spin sorted out.
much better getting dropped now and coming back in the summer then playing more and losing more confidence and being made an ashwin bunny.

[Arthur Crabtree]

And Duckett can't get started again. Typical start for England with three down for not many.

Very tense. India only had three good scores, two tons and a fifty. Have England three players to match that? You'd think Root has to be one of them.

dont know if its just more nervous for me watching england bat but it just feels like the indian spinners create far more pressure on the batsmen than ours are able to, and kohli supports them better with his fields

plus crucial part not sure england got any weak bowler to target.
really kohli and pujara targeted Ansari yesterday and got Ali and Rashid of there lengths as well yesterday.
Don't remember india batsman playing and missing much yesterday.

[Dr Cricket]

well played root, a class player

It was this pair's partnership that set England on the road to their big score in the last test, conditions are much tougher but we need to keep the faith that they'll do something similar again.

[Dr Cricket]

Root gone now.
lol so funny reading twitter now with people blaming the loss on the toss.

Root got the fifty.

Difficult enough as it is without throwing wickets away.

A rush of blood from Root and England are in serious trouble. No Woakes to save England either.

yep not the greatest shot guessing root was starting to get choked by the field.

[Aidan11]

This has suddenly gone into suck mode.

[Dr Cricket]

still baffling how india got 450 here.
think me and Sussex thought around 300 was par here.
