IND vs Eng. 4th Test: Ricky Ponting Shares What will England’s plan be on day 3 against India? Cricket news
India Old Trafford, in the fourth Test against England in Manchester, was on the last leg at the end of the day 2, and former Australia captain Ricky Ponting did not return to his criticism of visitors’ bowling performance. Speaking on Sky Sports cricket before day 3, England openers commanded the 166 -run stand, due to lack of India’s bite with a ball in a day.“Now, thinking about these batting positions today. I mean, England certainly got better tomorrow, and we can see how much wickets and situations have changed from morning session to noon. Therefore, the batting situation will probably not be better now,” what India has expected on Friday.He said, “We have found two class players at the crease. India today needs to find a way to bring back to the game. If they do not take the initial wicket today, the game is actually slipping quickly,” he warned.“Today on one wicket with this sun on this, we saw that Jadeja twisted a couple late last afternoon. It is not going to be easy to bat late in this game. So England, I am sure that thinking about the possibility of batting only once in this Test match, he must have gone to bed last night.The former Australia captain said, “If you are an Indian fan, it is not the best thing to hear, but the fact that it is very true what can happen.”Despite Rishabh Pant’s brave efforts, India was excluded for 358 in the day, which went with a fracture with a to -finger to score 54 off 75 balls. The wicketkeeper-better hurt on 1 day, but returned to a permanent ovation, adding important runs in the lower order. England responded aggressively, reaching 225/2 in stumps in just 46 overs. Openers Ben Docket (94) and Zak Crolly (84) led the allegations before Ravindra Jadeja and debutant Anshul Kamboj. Unbeaten at the crease with Oli Pope (20*) and Joe Root (11*), England launched India by just 133 runs and set well to determine Test heading in day 3.
