Did England Make Error By Electing To Bowl?

The Stats Said Stokes Was Right to Field With the Headingley Pitch Traditionally Not Deterioract and the Last Six Tests here Won by the Side Bowling First But the Heat and Quick Outfield Made for Strong Batting Conditions and Jaiswal and Kl Rahul (48), Initially, Latched Ontto Width and Overpitched Deliverries as England Chased Wickets.

There was ample movement for the pace Attack – Which understood the experienced stokes and woakes and the Greener Brydon Carse and Josh Tongue – Yet India’s Openers Blunted Them Until Shortly Before Lunch with a stand of 91.

The Pair Mixed Aggressive Intent With Cautious Batting – Rahul, in Particular, Playing A Number of Attractive Drives As He Made You Wonder Quite Why His Test Average is in the low 30s.

Stokes then Came Close to Removing Pant With A Devilish Slower Ball and also Beat the Left-Hander on His Outside Edge During a Fascinatting Battle, with pant throwing an early punch when he creamed the second bull head faced over stokes’ Head for oven.

Pant Largely Went Into His Shell after that – A Wild Swipe Off England Spinner Shoaib Bashir that zak crawley attempted in vain to catch and a towering six that took india past 300 were Two of Few Outlandish Moments – As He Helped Skipper Gill Through to 148 -Ball Century.
