“I don’t know why Rooty reacted that way,” the lanky pacer recalled, referring to the heated argument during the Anderson–Tendulkar Trophy. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/sports/cricket/i-just-told-joe-root-that-you-are-looking-in-great-shape-but-he-started-abusing-me-prasidh-krishna-k2z60bms?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #PrasidhKrishna #JoeRoot #AndersonTendulkarTrophy

Despite splendid performances in India A games before the tour, Easwaran never made the playing XI. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/sports/cricket/ind-vs-eng-he-was-pissed-off-because-he-wasnt-picked-abhimanyus-father-on-selection-snub-naapsanz?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #AbhimanyuEaswaran #GautamGambhir #AndersonTendulkarTrophy

Until Smith finished this one off no side who had had five individual centuries had lost a *first class* match (there have been over 60,000 with that designation).
#cricket #TestCricket #ENGvIND #AndersonTendulkarTrophy

Smith ends proceedings with a second six in the space of four balls. England 373-5 to win by five wickets. Smith 44* (55) with four fours and two sixes. Jadeja after that final onslaught ends with 24-0-104-1. The match aggregate of 1673-35 is a record for a match between these two sides. Somehow, after being 430-3 at 12:30 on day two after being put in India have lost the match.
#cricket #TestCricket #ENGvIND #AndersonTendulkarTrophy

A four and a six in successive balls for Smith off Jadeja and England now need just six to win.
#cricket #TestCricket #ENGvIND #AndersonTendulkarTrophy

50 to Root, with an edge that flies wide of the cordon for four. Just 16 more needed for the win.
#cricket #TestCricket #ENGvIND #AndersonTendulkarTrophy

350 up for England - only the third time ever that all four innings of a test match have been 350+ - Headingley 1948 and Adelaide 1929 being the others.
#cricket #TestCricket #ENGvIND #AndersonTendulkarTrophy

New ball due, but England now need only 22 to win. Siraj loosening up to bowl from the Kirkstall Lane end.
#cricket #TestCricket #ENGvIND #AndersonTendulkarTrophy

England now 348-5, just 23 away from victory. There is one more over before the second new ball, but is hard to see how even Bumrah can save India from here.
#cricket #TestCricket #ENGvIND #AndersonTendulkarTrophy

A no ball from Thakur. If he was a genuine fast bowler one might make some allowance, but from a workaday medium pacer it is simply unacceptable to overstep.
#cricket #TestCricket #ENGvINDF #AndersontendulkarTrophy

Shubman Gill may well be pinning his hopes on Bumrah with the second new ball, but the way things are going there just won't be enough runs for even Bumrah to defend by then.
#cricket #TestCricket #ENGvIND #AndersonTendulkarTrophy

England with a chance to win, but Jadeja is finding some assistance late on this fifth day - a scenario that could have been avoided had Stokes made the correct decision when winning the toss - BAT first.
#cricket #TestCricket #ENGvIND #AndersonTendulkarTrophy

Not even Jadeja could get through that over quick enough for there to be time for one more, and at stumps on day four England are 21-0, needing 350 more to win on the final day. The weather forecast for the Leeds are tomorrow is not the best.
#cricket #TestCricket #ENGvIND #AndersonTendulkarTrophy

India realizing that England don't want any more overs than they have to face are going to bring on Jadeja who always whips through his overs, which should mean two more today rather than just one.
#cricket #TestCricket #ENGvIND #AndersonTendulkarTrophy

Headline news: Duckett actually left one alone - the last ball of the first over. England are 3-0, Crawley 3*, Duckett 0*.
#cricket #TestCricket #ENGvIND #AndersonTendulkarTrophy

Krishna takes Bashir on and succeeds only in giving a catch to Josh Tongue. India 364 all out, meaning that England need 371 to win. India have lost their last six wickets for 31 this innings after losing the last seven for 41 in their first innings. Those 13 wickets for 72 runs are the sole reason that England are not absolutely out of this match. India strong favourites now.
#cricket #TestCricket #ENGvIND #AndersonTendulkarTrophy

He follows up with a four moving the lead on to 368.
#cricket #TestCricket #ENGvIND #AndersonTendulkarTrophy

Finally Jadeja has changed things up, smashing one from Tongue for six. India 358-9, 364 runs ahead overall.
#cricket #TestCricket #ENGvIND #AndersonTendulkarTrophy

I don't think there is a lot of point in India batting on if all Jadeja is going to do is take singles off the fourth ball of each over, hoping that Krishna can survive the last two.
#cricket #TestCricket #ENGvIND #AndersonTendulkarTrophy

Krishna survives the last two balls of Tongue's over, but that is still a triple wicket maiden for him.
#cricket #TestCricket #ENGvIND #AndersonTendulkarTrophy

No hat trick for Tongue, but three in four balls as he bowls Bumrah second ball for 0. India 349-9, 355 ahead.
#cricket #TestCricket #ENGvIND #AndersonTendulkarTrophy

Tongue is on a hat trick, as Siraj gloves a bouncer through to Smith and leaves the ground in some pain. India 349-8, 355 ahead overall.
#cricket #TestCricket #ENGvIND #AndersonTendulkarTrophy

Would be booming drive from Thakur becomes an edge to Root in the slips. India now 349-7, 355 runs ahead. That is Tongue's first wicket this innings, but he blew the tail away in the first Indian innings.
#cricket #TestCricket #ENGvIND #AndersonTendulkarTrophy

Rahul goes for 137, dragging one from Carse into his stumps. India 332-5, 338 ahead overall. Ravindra Jadeja will be next in.
#cricket #TestCricket #ENGvIND #AndersonTendulkarTrophy

Second new ball now available for England, with India 314-4, 320 ahead overall.
#cricket #TestCricket #ENGvIND #AndersonTendulkarTrophy

300 up for India. Their lead now stands at 306. Also they have scored five individual centuries in this match - Jaiswal, Gill, Rahul and Pant's two, while England have managed only one (Pope), and a near miss for Brook.
#cricket #TestCricket #ENGvIND #AndersonTendulkarTrophy

India's lead moves past 300 as Nair gets off the mark with a four - his first test runs in eight years.
#cricket #TestCricket #ENGvIND #AndersonTendulkarTrophy

Pant goes, caught by Crawley off Bashir for 118. India 287-4, 293 ahead overall. Their position was a little dicey when he joined Rahul, but their partnership has put India in control.
#cricket #TestCricket #ENGvIND #AndersonTendulkarTrophy

Pant completes his second hundred of the match. This is only the second time a keeper has scored twin tons in a test match. On the previous occasion Andrew Flower of Zimbabwe scored 142 and 199* against South Africa - and still finished on the losing side, a fate that at the moment looks unlikely for Pant.
#cricket #TestCricket #ENGvIND #AndersonTendulkarTrophy

India now in total control. They are 262-3, 268 ahead overall. They would want 10 overs at England tonight to give themselves two bites with the new ball.
#Cricket #TestCricket #ENGvIND #AndersonTendulkarTrophy

Sudarsan gives it away having got to 30. A casual shot against Stokes results in a catch to Crawley (his status as a test opener is questionable, but he does have a safe pair of hands in the field). India 82-2, 88 ahead overall. England need at least one more wicket this evening, but this puts a brake on India's progress.

Respectable day for England so far. They go in for lunch on 327-5, 144 behind India's 471. Brook and Smith together at the crease, and with Woakes at eight and Carse at nine this England side is definitely deeper in batting than it is in bowling - Smith at seven is a genuinely top class batter, Woakes is an all rounder, and Carse is better with the bat than most number nines.
#cricket #TestCricket #ENGvIND #AndersonTendulkarTrophy

A clatter of wickets in the run up to lunch, ending with that of Thakur, caught behind off Stokes. However, at 454-7, India are still in a great position for a side who lost the toss and were put into bat. Stokes has 4-66 for the innings.
