The England Cricket Thread

93 mph bouncers! As an England fan it's refreshing to see we have a bowler in the team with both the speed and aggression to put the wind up the opposition from time to time. If only Mark Wood was fit, we would have two legit out and out fast bowlers in our side, combine them with a couple of seamers and bowling attack would be deadly.

For years I've been wanting a way to watch cricket in Germany, turns out you can stream it for free from ICC.TV!

Not a great morning, but a lovely run out to go into lunch with.
 
Nervous couple of overs to get through before close of play. Nothing much to gain for England, but much to lose.
 
This second innings is not off to a good start, although the pitch is looking much more treacherous than yesterday.
 
The highlights on BBC were very entertaining from today. The pitch looked so difficult to play and India scoring the runs is by no means a foregone conclusion tomorrow.

@platypus - agree, his action is super strange. The extra fizz he gets with his wrist is unreal. Some of the deliveries from Bumrah and Siraj looked terrifying on today’s pitch.

Really engaging play and loving it on TMS as per usual; but honestly, does Bumrah really not throw it? His action is so suspect.

He does throw it up to a point but its due to the hyperextension of his elbow which is allowed within the rules. I think you can have an argument that some players who "throw" the ball can change their action but I don't know if Bumrah can stop his elbow hyperextending no matter how he bowls.
