London: Under the blazing summer sun, on a pitch that eagerly turned brown overnight and a pack in front of Lord’s, one of the third Tests, one of the day was a contradiction of everything about being leading in this match in this series. As England moved to 251/4 in stumps, traditional and dog Test cricket made a comeback. According to the first two trials, both teams promised Edge-off-the-Seight Action Three. On Thursday, he gave a classic art movie, in which neither was able to overcome the team. This was to play the lead role. He excluded a masterclass of how cricket is actually played. God’s pitch has been the most difficult to bat in this series. It was sluggish, partially there was some variable bounce with two-books and enough movement for the seamers and catch for spinners through the day. People here in London said that on Thursday, the English summer felt like the hottest. It was 31 degrees, but it could easily burn the skin. The conditions demanded to grind out and out. The root was standing out of the batting pack on 99 routes off 191 balls. He survived the possible mantra of Jasprit Bumrah, continuity along the line of Mohammad Sirj and length, the unpredictableness of Nitish Kumar Reddy and the grip and turn of Ravindra Jadeja.
In a departure from the invading cricket of modern sports, the years returned on Thursday. It seemed that England had taken one step back from the cricket brand cricket. One can argue that India may have given a serious blow to England’s thick viewing of ultra-aggressive cricket with a major win in Edgbaston last week. It was clear that England were distracted by their basic principles when Ben Stokes had chosen to bat first on a pitch, many people believed that Leeds and Birmingham had more juices for bowlers than flat decks. The principle ‘Ham-Chase-Kuch’ was placed in the cupboard. Opener Zak Crolly tried to be freed in the first hour with some swipes in Indian pacers, but he could not connect anything. But the Bat was intended to bat for a long time as compared to Fast as Crowley and Ben Docket survived the hour before India’s three lead Seamers Bumrah, Siraj and Akash Deep. Reddy was taken to use the slope and send both the openers back in the 14th over. This fastest sport had gone during the day.

What did you think of England’s approach one day from the third Test?
Root took control from there. England came with a new gameplan. They were not going out of the way to push the game forward. They wanted to live in sports for a long time. India became wicketless in the second session. But he never reduced pressure. England passed through a phase of playing 26 gradual dot balls. This was a distant idea till the last game. It seemed that the game was in a stagnation, but the route was quietly gaining profit and was wearing Indian bowlers with a 109 -run partnership with Oli Pope for the third wicket. Jadeja hit the first ball after tea with the ball, so that the Pope’s bat could get an lead to replace wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurlel for 44 off 104 balls. India seemed like gaining some speed at 172/4 when Bumrah provoked the protecting Harry Brook for 11. India kept coming to England. But the two senior most batsmen were not going to inaugurate India in any way. Stokes dropped the anchor and Root kept the scoreboard. England’s perspective will be for debate, mainly due to claims made in his dialect to save cricket. But no one can blame them for cricket that they played to keep Indians in the Gulf.
