Sports Updates : After two days of the second Test in Visakhapatnam, the hosts had a good hold, but Zak Crawley argues India will be cautious of another England comeback.
In addition, it was the third-biggest deficit that England had overcome to win a Test match.
“It’s always important to know you are playing against a side that will never give up and can fight back from any situation,” Crawley said.
That warms our hearts greatly. They will be aware that we possess it. It’s a mental game, so it must be somewhat active in their brains.Hopefully, they have a small amount of uncertainty and a small amount of belief that we can win.”
On the second morning, England claimed the final four first-inning wickets of India for sixty runs, bowling the home team out for 396, a total that on a good pitch seemed to be little more than average.
In response, the tourists scored 114-1, with Crawley, who was 26 at the time, scoring an eye-catching 76.
But England lost six wickets for 68 runs after Crawley was dismissed for failing to field when moving down the pitch to Axar Patel.
Crawley from Kent stated, “I was disappointed to get out when I did.” “The next time, I would just play it better; I wouldn’t have chosen a different shot.
“I thought we bowled pretty well at times and that we batted well as a unit at other moments. I didn’t witness any particularly poor batting from us. That’s simply how things work.”They performed incredibly well, and they are free to continue doing so, but so are we for the rest of the day and tomorrow. We demonstrated last week that we still have a strong belief in our ability to win the game. Though it’s their day, we’re still involved.
Jasprit Bumrah’s devastating reverse-swing bowling performance tore apart England. Ollie Pope’s middle and leg stumps were removed by an incredible yorker delivered by the fast bowler, who claimed a 6-45 score.
“He’s an unbelievable bowler, especially in these conditions,” Crawley stated. “He’s amazing when the ball reverses like that. There are moments when you just have to say “well played” with your hands up. He bowled really well.We need to figure out how to offset him. It’s about formulating a strategy and following it. We’ll devise strategies to offset it, and perhaps we’ll be charming.”
Bumrah, 30, had his best results in a home Test after decimating the England batting order.
“While I try not to look at the stats, I am really thrilled. He said to TNT Sports, “I don’t want to think about milestones and put more pressure on myself.”
“If you want to take wickets as a fast bowler in India you have got to learn to use reverse swing, because the new ball doesn’t always do much for you.”I was greatly impressed by watching great bowlers use it to bowl amazing deliveries as a child. I put a lot of practice into knowing how to set up the batters and developed that skill into a strength.”
