However Ollie Robinson struck twice with the new ball by dismissing both Rohit and Pujara to bring the hosts back into the contest.
Indian skipper Virat Kohli (22) and Ravindra Jadeja (9) were unbeaten at the crease, before bad light forced umpires to call stumps. The visitors finished the day at 270/3, with a significant lead of 171 runs.
Robinson was the pick of the bowlers for England with figures of 2/67, while Anderson claimed a solitary wicket.

After the euphoria of a fine victory at Lord’s, India were brought down to earth at Headingley as England won by an innings to level the series. Here are our talking points from the clash.
India’s batting fragility exposed: The signs of a fragile batting lineup were always there earlier in the series, but were masked by the tail being able to wag at both Trent Bridge and Lord’s. Bumrah and Shami added 41 between them in Nottingham and were involved in that famous partnership at Lord’s on the final day. However their past batting averages suggested the two innings were an anomaly, rather than the norm, and they failed in Leeds.
India’s pace quartet are fine bowlers, but their places are unfortunately under threat because their batsmen aren’t consistent enough, and batting depth is a must for any world class team.
This could probably necessitate the return of Shardul Thakur and/or Ravi Ashwin, but there’s a lot of pondering that Kohli has to do to get the balance of his side right.
One of the reasons for India’s success in Australia was their batting depth- both Thakur and Washington Sundar played key roles with the bat, as did Rishabh Pant. Continue reading “Talking Points & Analysis- India vs England 3rd Test 2021 Headingley”

England strike bowler James Anderson ripped through the visitors top order and openers Rory Burns and Haseeb Hameed both scored fine half centuries as England took complete control at the end of Day 1 of the third test at Headingly.
Indian skipper Virat Kohli won the toss for the first time and elected to bat first. They opted to keep faith with the same side that had done the business at Lord’s in the previous test, while England made two changes- opener Dom Sibley making way for Dawid Malan and Craig Overton coming in for the injured Mark Wood.
The visitors got off to a disastrous start as they lost the in form KL Rahul in the very first over to Anderson for a duck. The veteran fast bowler also sent back Cheteshwar Pujara and Kohli back to the hut in a superb first spell (8-5-6-3) to leave India reeling at 21/3.
Rohit Sharma and vice captain Ajinkya Rahane added 35 runs for the fourth wicket before the latter fell to Ollie Robinson at the stroke of lunch. Continue reading “India vs England Third Test Day 1 Headingley Leeds Match Report 2021”

Mohammed Siraj and ace bowler Jasprit Bumrah came up with splendid bowling efforts as India pulled off a sensational win by beating England by 151 runs at the end of Day 5 of the opening test at Lords on Monday.
Resuming at an overnight score of 181/6, India lost Rishabh Pant and Ishant Sharma early to Ollie Robinson for 22 & 16 respectively as England appeared to have gained the upper hand at the beginning of the day.
However Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah, generally no great shakes with the bat, frustrated the England bowlers and added a stunning 89 run partnership for the the ninth wicket.

Devon Conway scored a brilliant unbeaten 99, as New New Zealand defeated Australia by 53 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the 5-match series on Monday.
After being asked to bat by Australian skipper Aaron Finch, New Zealand lost openers Martin Guptill and Tim Siefert to Daniel Sams and Jhye Richardson cheaply.
In the 4th over, Sams provided another crucial breakthrough by dismissing skipper Kane Williamson for 12 to leave the hosts were reeling at 19/3.
The pair of Conway and Glenn Phillips then resurrected the innings with a valuable 74 run stand for the fourth wicket, before the latter was caught at cover by Mitchell Marsh off the bowling of Marcus Stoinis for a breezy 30.
The 29 year old left Conway then added 47 runs for the fifth wicket with James Neesham before the Wellington all-rounder, bought by Mumbai Indians in the recent IPL auction, fell to Jhye Richardson for a quickfire 15 ball 26.

Migael Pretorius stole victory from the jaws of defeat for the VKB Knights as the Bloemfontein based outfit picked up their first win of the CSA T20 Challenge today (February 22, 2021)
When Grant Mokoena holded out to Tony de Zorzi off Ziyaad Abrahams in the last over, the batsmen crossed and it left Pretorius 16 to get off the final 3 balls. He hit two sixes in succession to bring the equation to 4 off 1. Abrahams then bowled a perfect yorker that Pretorius was unable to get a bat on, but unfortunately for the Cobras, it was adjudged to be a no-ball. Pretorius then hit a 4 off the final delivery despite the best efforts of a diving George Linde on the boundary to take the Knights home in stunning fashion.
Given the crazy sum Chris Morris went for (INR 16.25 crore/ ZAR 32.5m) in the IPL 2021 auction, Pretorius is another that scouts will be keeping an eye on closely. He also hit 38 off 23 in the previous game for the Knights, and a hard hitting fast bowling all-rounder is worth their gold in the T20 format.
Pretorius did have a bit of luck though- he was dropped by Imran Manack in the penultimate over bowled by Corbin Bosch. It was a tough chance, but one that effectively made the difference between defeat and victory for the Cobras.

Pujara along with Rishabh Pant added 53 valuable runs for the fifth wicket, before the latter was caught at first slip by Warner off Hazlewood for a breezy 36. The dashing left handed batsman had earlier been struck by a Cummins delivery on the elbow and looked uncomfortable, and Wriddhiman Saha ended up keeping wickets for India later in the day.
Things got from bad to worse as the visitors lost Pujara in the very next over, as he gloved a Cummins ball to wicketkeeper Tim Paine for 50.
R Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah also carelessly threw their wickets away via run outs as India’s middle order collapse continued. From 195/4, the visitors stumbled to 244 all out, giving the home side a 94 run lead. Ravi Jadeja remained unbeaten on 28, but he also suffered an injury, with a rising delivery striking him on the thumb of his bowling hand.

The pair of Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane kept the Australian bowlers at bay, as the visitors ended Day 2 at 96/2, 242 runs behind.
