England’s batting failings in India exposed again on best surface of series so far, says Nasser Hussain
England's attack faces a tough battle to earn the tourists first-innings parity with India after "another bad day at the office" for the batsmen, says Nasser Hussain. Joe Root's side succumbed to 205 all out on day one of the fourth Test after choosing to bat first, with the hosts closing on 24-1 to trail by 181 runs. Fourth Test scorecard: India vs England Day One in Ahmedabad - as it happened Spinners Ravichandran Ashwin (3-47) and Axar Patel (4-68) did the bulk of the damage, taking seven wickets between them, and, although India will have to bat last, Hussain told The Cricket Show that England cannot afford to fall too far behind in the game. "It was another bad day at the office," said the former England captain. "There was nothing wrong with the pitch this time. "They've had the full spectrum of pitches in this series. They've had two poor pitches - I think we've all agreed on that. Some people have gone easier on India and some people have gone … [Read more...] about England’s batting failings in India exposed again on best surface of series so far, says Nasser Hussain
India vs England, 4th Test: Axar, Ashwin Share Seven Wickets to Give Hosts The Upper Hand
India vs England 4th Test, Day 1: England’s batsmen lost the battle of both mind and skills in yet another shoddy performance to surrender the momentum to India with Axar Patel and Ravichandran Ashwin calling the shots on the opening day of the fourth and final Test here on Thursday. After five innings, England crossed the 200-run mark but a total of 205 in 75.5 overs was certainly not what Joe Root had expected when he called it right at the toss on a day which would have ideally been best for batting. There was turn and bounce but the pitch was far from being a minefield that some of the England batsmen save Ben Stokes (55, 121 balls) made it out to be. For India, spinners Axar Patel (26-7-68-4), Ravichandran Ashwin (19.5-4-47-3) and Washington Sundar (7-1-14-1) toyed with the already messed up minds, clueless on how to deal with the conditions. Mohammed Siraj (14-2-45-2) also played his part to perfection with the semi-new and old ball, hurrying the batsmen with sheer pace as … [Read more...] about India vs England, 4th Test: Axar, Ashwin Share Seven Wickets to Give Hosts The Upper Hand
