(Untitled)

Second test has come to conclusion stage. Both teams have equal chances to clinch the test match. But home advantage may incline towards India. Team India gained initial momentum by putting up big score in First innings. They also restricted England to modest score in England’s first innings. India attained a lead of 200. A clear picture could be obtained by the end of day 4.

Day 4 Story

Ravi Ashwin ,who failed in first test, recovered well with great performance. He picked up five wickets for 67 runs. Ashwin has completed 50 wickets in 2016. Now Ashwin becomes the first bowler to pick up 50 wickets in consecutive years. Stokes and bairstow from England team have scored hundreds. This is Aswins’s 22nd five wicket haul. India scored 98 runs for 3 wickets at the end of day 3. Kohli and Rehane are at the crease. India currently lead by 298 runs. Even if India survives one session on fourth day, Lead is expected to surpass 400.
Kohli once again came to rescue after Rahul and Vijay got out cheaply. Jhonny Bairstow has become the first batsmen to scores 122 runs in 2016.He is on

Ashwin in 2016

On fourth time, Ashwin scored a fifty and picked 5 wickets. He equalled kapil dev in achieving this feet. Bhuvaneswar kumar has achieved the feet twice. Ashwin picked up 2 wickets in consecutive balls in first innings. So it will be hat -trick if he picks up wicket of his first ball in second innings.
Day 5
India are 8 wickets away from first success in the series. England requires 312 to win. With the intent England played on Day4, we can say they are playing for a draw. On stumps of day 4 England lost 2 wickets for the score of 87. England to play out of skins to draw the test match. It is extremely difficult to survive on turning tracks .Alaister cook scored half century before he got out on final ball of day 4

Second test: England Vs India Live score card

India and England move to Vizag to play second test

One of Indian team’s favorites grounds is all set to host first test. Vizag has always been a lucky place for Indian team. Many Current Indian players consider Vizag Lucky. After three consecutive wins against New Zealand, India managed to avoid a defeat in first test against England. Dhoni scored his highest score in ODI’s at Vizag.

Indian team

Gambhir might lose his place in the playing IX. Not because of his performance,  but due to availability of KL Rahul. KL Rahul was ruled out intermittently during test series against Kiwis. As this is  being first test match held at Vizag, We cannot predict how the pitch behaves.

England

England might play with unchanged side. Four England players were centurions during first test. Now, Alaister cook has become the player with most number of centuries by any English Batsmen.

Vizag hosted its last ODI match month. It was deciding match between India and Kiwis. Result cam In India’s way. New zealand failed to score 100 while cahsing modest score of 270.

SA plummented Aussies

Aussies lost two consecutive test against South Africa. Second one is much more worse than first. They failed to match Proteas in any department. Australia lost the match by innings and 80 runs which is quite unexpected from Australia. Australia were annihilated to 76 in the fist innings. They failed to reach 200 in second innings also. They packed their kits for just 160 runs. South Afica attained lead of 240 in first innings.

Usman Khawaja was the only player from Australia to score a 50.He scored 64 runs in second innings. This is fifth consecutive loss for Australia. They were recently clean swept by Srilanka ain Srilanka. Only four players are certain to be in playing 11 in the third test. Steve Smith has been criticism from all the cricketing circuit.Adelaide will host third test from 24th of this month.
