Allen has a bit of a weakness outside of the off stump, yet bowlers keep bowling into his hitting arc.

Watching bowlers get crunched for 20+ in an over feels so normal now. #MLC2025

India can get 600 plus, possibly even more. #ENGvsIND

Baz ball success was always built around big scores at fast tempo on road pitches . This will be a big test now against quality opposition especially when you have gifted them the initiative #ENGvsIND #INDvsENG #HeadingleyTest

India threw away the opportunity to bat England out of the game. There is still an opportunity for England to get a lead and put some pressure on India in the 3rd innings. However, batting against Bumrah will be tough.

Always dislike the narrative that a batter is 'lucky' if they get out off a no ball. Every thing changes if the bowler keeps their foot behind the line. #INDvsENG

Man bun Siraj was better than this version. #ENGvsIND

Agree - bowlers after often searching for wickets rather than just bowling consistently in the corridor.

Not only does he put pressure on bowlers, but on fielders as well.

Once upon a time there was a leg spinner that became a specialist batter and ended up being pretty good.

The whingers out in force today blaming NZC about the released summer schedule and the lack of tests.

The ICC really needs to look at scheduling T20 WCs every four years rather than two. T20 WCs take away a month of the season, not including warm ups and the plethora of matches played in preparation. The calendar is already too congested.

Australia's fragile batting line up continues to get exposed. Experienced domestic performers such as Harris and Renshaw continue to be overlooked. Also, where has McSweeney gone?

This is a war #interiverplate
