Paytm Test Series - IND Vs ENG
Venue - Narendra Modi Stadium
Final Test - Day 01 Post Match Review
It's a penultimate match for both the teams, as Team India all set to seal the deal & making their place in WTC Finale whereas english team looking to square off the series.
DISAPPOINTING SHOW OF ENGLISH TEAM - NO LESSONS LEARNED
Once again Joe Root won an all important toss & choose to bat. It seems, from the last two matches, four innings english team haven't learnt anything. Nothing has changed from the last match, except the two correct changes. Dom Bess & Lawrence made it to playing eleven. The disappointing show of english team, with the bat continues. After winning the toss, english team yet again crumbled to indian spinners & found themselves in a mess. They lost three big wickets at mere score of 30, which includes the wicket of big fish - "Joe Root". Thankfully, it was Lawrence(46) & Ben Stokes(55) helped english team to put a mediocre score of 205.
English team managed to get score of 200,after five innings. It was in the first innings of first test at chennai, when english team made score of in excess of 200 (578). This time, visitors somehow managed to touch-down the score of 200. But,very soon indian spinners - "Axar Patel & Ravichandaran Ashwin" wrapped up the english innings.
INDIAN SPINNERS - ALL IN MINDS OF ENGLISH TEAM
Indian spinners are still a mystery for england, especially Axar. In his second over of the match only, he went through the defense of "Dom Sibley" to give first breakthrough to team india.Right from the word go,he was all over english batsmen & looking at english players, we're convinced that indian spinners were ruling the minds of english batsmen. It reflected in the wicket tally of indian spinners -8/10 wickets were picked by indian spinners. Four wickets to Axar Patel, three wickets to "Ravi chandran Ashwin" & one wicket to "Washington Sundar" sums up the story.
SIRAJ - BOWLED HIS HEART OUT
Mohammed Siraj included in the playing eleven as a replacement for Jasprit Bumrah & he justified it completely, when he picked a big wicket of - "Joe Root" with a beauty. He bowled his heart out & puts this 100% every single time & henceforth, rewarded with two wickets.
ROHIT & PUJARA - GOING STEADY
Team india had a poor start,as host loose Shubman Gill in the very first over of the innings, without a score on board. But then, it was Rohit Sharma & Cheteshwar Pujara hold their ends,till the stumps. All & all, a satisfying day for hosts.
ENG - 205/10
IND - 24/1
