Ooof, massive from Jansen to end the day. Hridoy probably walked too far across, couldn't get the bat around the pad.

Took Harmer apart in that over, nice range of shots to get boundaries all around the ground. Big boost right before the new ball.

Very frenetic last few overs. Both batters have charged and attempted some big shots, some poorly judged runs. Need to both be there vs the new ball.
SA have pulled it back in this last mini-phase. 21 off the last 8 overs with Mulder now bowling wide outside off deliberately. Hope Ban don't get desperate to score here.

A very strange Eng innings so far where the pitch has seemed pretty good for batting but only Banton has really played with the fluency you expect in those conditions and several batters have outright struggled.
Even during the 2023 WC when he was in peak accumulation mode he would go searching for an early boundary and would get antsy when he didn't get it. Stop misdiagnosing problems.
We'll see how Kohli goes moving forward as well. But time is running out. Add some genuine batting skill to the lineup instead of trying to get by with gimmicks. Need to at least make one committal decision by next series.
Ah yes send Axar in the PP again, brilliant stuff. Can't even give LHB excuse because Kishan is as well lol
Some horrible dismissals for those 2. Anyway, big knock for Iyer too, has struggled post CT and these bowlers have the pace and bounce to challenge him.
What kind of comment is this? The mocking/dismissive tone about very real factors like Henry's wobble seam as "technicalities" as if he's some random observer. He really is a piece of work...
Replying to @RevSportzGlobal
There was no exaggerated seam movement. Stuff like wobble seam, cross seam... They are very nice to hear about. I don't go into such technicalities. More important is to hit the right areas: Gambhir
Man, Babar hit it straight to the fielder that was put at the start of the over exactly for that dismissal
