The last day started with high hopes IndiaDefending a formidable target of 371 run in a tone of Leeds. But what followed was a completely dominant exhibition of the opening of the battle Zak Crawley and Well duckettthat neutralized the threat of Jasprit bumrah and co -skill and confidence. The duo ran up to a century within 25 points, marking more than four and denying India even a breakthrough. As England Marched over 100 without losses, the pressure was visibly mounted on the debutant captain Shubman Gill. At lunch, England needed only 254 more races with all the wicks intact, well on the court for a historical persecution.
Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett Masterclass leaves India clueless
Duckett and Crawley orchestrated a battle clinic, treating the morning session as a limited persecution. Duckett, aggressive and innovative, caused fifty balls of only 66 balls, climbing the boundaries behind Point and passes with surgical precision. Crawley interpreted the anchor, nuding singles and punishing anything too full. The couple complemented themselves perfectly, putting 100 runs in less than 25 points without taking undue risks.
Their work against Ravindra jadaja It was decisive, without allowing the left arm spinner to settle. The rhythm bowls turned with little effect, Mohammed Siraj was loaded, Prasidh Krishan Car and Shardul Thakur To a great extent ineffective. Even Bumrah, the best weapon in India, could not extract the life of the pitch. With a slow field and quick hands, the openers of England maintained the marker and pressure firmly on the hosts. The positive intention and the selection of England shots demonstrated the number of conditions that were still the conditions, even on the 5th.

Shubman Gill’s leadership under fire as a Failure Strategy
When England constantly closed his goal, the questions were asked about Gill’s captaincy in his first test leading India. Critics and viewers pointed to their reactive field locations, allowing single -bachelor free and not applying pressure when England crossed. Although India had an important pillow, Gill’s desire to try non -conventional fields or to return to Bumrah in brief bursts let the fans. His Jadja handling was also puzzling, used in short spells and without attacks. If Gill trampled on his tactic, the Indian bowls were marked for execution. Bumrah seemed tired and under bowls, Siraj was erratic, Krishna leaked the boundaries and Shardul was largely ineffective. The consensus was clear, India was not only out of play, but they were out of thought and the struggle. The bowling lacked the poison, and fans had no mood to save anyone.
This is how fans react:
A very poor captaincy of Shubman Gill Like the first entry, allowed the opposition to mark 460+ in the first entry when the conditions were cloudy.
And now when England pursues Big 371, Gill is still playing with Cery’s defensive field. I would hated all this at home.

The session is approaching Crawley and Duckett at the end are still there and searched Indian bowls. Neither the change of bowls, the field locations or the shouts of the folders have not worked for India.

What is frustrating is that I do not feel confident to see this bowling attack. Before, even if the situation seemed bad, I would still think that India had a shot. But not with this current configuration. Baki Jaisa Gill Bol Rha “Ek Side Mohammad Dusre Side Krishna” Wahi Bachaye inhe ab 🙂↕️

Bumrah will drown again today.

Why is Jadja Bowling not? Why is Thakur Bowling? Prasidh Krishna manages to go to 5.75 that is achieved on a fifth -day playing field. Captaincy absolutely without brains.

Shardul and Prasidh Bowling as the 6th and 7th bowls that have to complete 4 points in a T20 because one of the first line bowls was broken down.

Why do mediocre players like Prasidh Krishna even selected for the test team when we have bowls like Arshdeep Singh at Pipeline? #Indvseng
