Will India Win (2nd Investec Test) at Lords ... Sir Jadeja to the Fore !!!
Posted on the 20 July 2014 by Sampathkumar Sampath
At the time of
posting this, England require another 248 with 8 wickets at hand … tantalising
poised or inching favourably towards India ……….. optimistic Indian fan is most
likely to dream of a fascinating win at Lords…
They said winning the
toss is a huge advantage – England managed a slender lead – and at some point
of time were at driving seat … Murali Vijay battled with great responsibility
and a late assault by unlikely Jadeja and his partnership with reliable
Bhuvanesh Kumar ended up India setting England a daunting 319 for victory in the
second Investec Test at Lord's.
Ravindra Jadeja is in
the thick after that charge against James Anderson – but today he made runs –
his first 50 in 10th Test – a good innings of 68 off 57 balls. When England opened their innings their 2nd
innings – Binny seemingly is not in the thick of things – Jadeja’s spin is… he
did get rid of Robson, with his first ball… – has now bowled 10 – most by Indian bowler
while Bhuvi has bowled 6 – Ishant on his 8th. Earlier Vijay got tantalising close to a Lord’s
century but missed it by 5 runs. Binny
was out for nought to a Moeen’s spin ! Bhuvneshwar was dropped by Joe Root at
fourth slip early in his innings – commentators stated that he was standing too
close ………. And when Jadeja bowled, Dhoni was seen standing quite a few yards
behind !!
Will India win
>???............Ian Bell is out to Sharma – making it 71/3… and as I prepare
to post this …. Alastair Cook too out to Sharma .. 72/4; Vijay bowled 3 – Binny yet to..
With regards – S.
