4th Test: England v India at Old Trafford

61 - 5 after 25 overs !

24.4
Anderson to Kohli, full, good line, Kohli pushes forward again, nicks to Bell at second slip.

Anderson has him again. Kohli pushed at that again, looked eager to try and hit the ball :-[

Kohli c Bell b Anderson 7

66 6      ::LOL::

Ali to Jadeja, pushes forward, ball spins, caught at slip. Beautiful bowling from Ali.

Only looked a matter of time, the way Jadeja was playing. Simple catch for Jordan.

Jadeja c Jordan b Ali 4

Moeen Ali continues to haunt India this series 

               

I like seeing India lose like this. Indian batsmen get big heads milking runs on low, dusty, slow pitches. I think all countries should use artificial pitches, and the home team gets to select the bounce and pace of the artificial pitch.

Kohli and Jadeja should have played for the Rain :

2 bone heads ...advancing down the wicket to drive  >

25 minutes of madness. 5 for 13 in the space of 29 balls

105  - 7

Ali to Dhoni, down the pitch, looks to go over the top, can only drag it to midwicket,

where Ballance takes a very good catch, diving to his right

MS Dhoni c Ballance b Ali 27

India trail by 94 runs with 3 wickets remaining

First innings when the conditions were a lot more challenging, India batted for 46.4 overs. In 2nd innings, just 43 overs.

India were as bad as England were brilliant. You won’t see many performances as bad as that in international sport. Embarrassing
