One day that is captivating 2 of the fifth test between India and England took place under a cloudy sky in London. The game tilted back and forth during the three sessions, ending roughly in the scale.
Before the third day, India led 52 points with eight counters in hand. England seemed ready to take a huge lead, but visitors withdrew things to restrict them at 247 despite the half-century of Harry Brook. An exciting conclusion to the final test is signaled.
On this note, here are three discussion points on the 2nd day of the fifth test India vs England.
# 3 Ben Duckett put a masterful demonstration of La Battes
With the ball moving in covered conditions, Ben Duckett took advantage of his assault by trying to hit the leather. His battle against Akash Deep was one of the most interesting discussion points of day 2 of the fifth test.
Duckett danced on the track when he wanted it and tried to access the out-of-the-coated field. It was serious on any width and even tried the strange cheeky shot behind the stumps. Although one of them finally caused his fall, the Southpaw had done his job when he was dismissed.
Duckett is one of the best test openers in the world at the moment, whatever the unconventional approach he chooses to use.
# 2 Mohammed Siraj turned the game with the older ball
Mohammed Siraj was one of those who felt the anger of Duckett’s assault in the first 10 Overs, but the speedster has returned. Known to increase his level during the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, he delivered a splendid spell with the older ball to bring India back into the competition.
Siraj obtained the ball to move inside the seam in both directions, trapping Joe Root, Ollie Pope and Jacob Bethell in front of the strains. His decision to go to a Yorker against Bethell was remarkable, and the bursting of the three counters gave his team a competition with the assistance that Angleterre fled.
Siraj also claimed the last very important Brook window, just when the English striker threatened to extend the advance on an uncomfortable territory. The quick launcher finished with four invaluable counters.
# 1 The India VS England series has lost no spice on the 5 tests
Day 2 has seen a lot of controversy unfolding. Deep and Duckett were absorbed by an exciting battle, Bengal Pacer finally put an arm around the opener after having rejected him.
Prasidh Krishna had a few words to say to Joe Root, who reacted angry. Although the two camps have come out and said that nothing ordinary was said, it certainly made an interesting visualization.
Towards the end of the day, Sai Sudharsan opposed something that Duckett said after being trapped in front, heading towards English before leaving the field.
Verbal exchanges – and the unusual reactions of players on both sides – have marked a tense day of test cricket.
