India are worried about their long tail. They keep saying 20 wickets are their priority and that they are willing to play four tailenders if that means getting 20 wickets as cheaply as possible, but believe it once you see it with your own two eyes. It is clear by now that Shardul Thakur played the first Test at Headingley primarily because of his batting ability. India have repeatedly called him a "bowling allrounder", but used him for just 16 overs out of 182.4. Two days out from the second T ...Read More >

England were 286 for ...Read More >
