someone screwed up straight away with the captions, have "standing in his 40th ODI" beneath dharmasena's name

sign of things to come for england over the next couple of months, a spinner on in the second over of the game

ODI series is after christmas, england go home for 2-3 weeks where india plays a test against Bangladesh.

Not sure the conditions are that similar apart from that it turns. india pitches are quicker and they use a different ball.
really Bangladesh pitches are more similar to UAE than india.
only really Sri lanka comes close to india pitches now in the subcontinent.
only real benefit of Bangladesh would be that the batsman have time in the middle and the spinners bowled some overs.

Some bounce in the pitch, not sure i have ever seen that in Bangladesh, plus some swing and seam for the pace men.

Acclimatisation isn't that useful either considering Rajkot/mohali is likely to be colder and less humid.
From experience winter in india can be freezing especially in the north and in Gujarat, doesn't help the houses are designed to remove heat.
Rajkot might be ok since it early nov but Mohali is guaranteed to be cold, might even be - figures if England are lucky like in 2012 when Delhi was freezing during January.

not sure why he is bowling, the pace men looks more dangerous so far.

The bounce didn't last long then.

Duckett playing the Hales role better than Hales does

TBH not that surprising, whenever I seen hales play, always thought of him as a limited player in terms of strokes, so doesn't really surprise me that he struggles to score quickly in test.

really Hales been made to be aggressive when he really can't be aggressive and doesn't like to be aggressive.
even in ODI/T20 he starts slowly before hitting boundaries.

Edit looks like you jinxed duckett.

Sorry. Got another wicket

i'm going to pick you in my fantasy team for the india series

bit of an unlucky dismissal for cook, but it was an ugly shot

in a little trouble now

Oh dear

Not the start I thought we would get

Looks like a 4th day pitch already

wow that is unlucky.

Lets hope the Yorkshire lads can settle things down

I'm glad I didn't get involved in the spreads as I thought we would get plenty

They've dropped a 100 points already

its turning square already, could be a short test

bangladesh conned everyone this week, kept the pitch underwraps, no one really saw it or were allowed to see it.
all the talk before the game was the low pitch, draw game plan, Bangladesh having no faith in the attack and bam they produce a rank turner with bounce and pace.
weirdly enough the pitch is quite similar to india so that a positive.

dont think they can overturn the decision based on that

edit : wow didn't think that was conclusive

TBH did hit the pad first, the snicko/photograph kind of looked clear.

Good review from Bangla

Moeen in at 5

cant agree with that, it looked too close to call imo

never really rated ballance as a player of spin tho

maybe looking at moeen as a better player of spin than stokes or bairstow

suspect the ground will be full soon.
Bangladesh crowd love it when the team doing well or winning.
surprised the stadium empty at the moment, considering they said friday and Saturday is a sellout.

might have a look at it again during the lunch break.

Ali would have been out if Bangladesh reviewed.
surprised they didn't review considering they changed the umpire call system now.

yeah "umpires call" is not as generous now
