India vs England Live Cricket Rating, third Test Day 2 (India National Cricket Team vs England National Cricket Team): To Bazball or to not Bazball — it was an issue that England faced on Thursday and so they decided to return to the roots of Test cricket, scoring 251/4 in 83 overs. Their run-rate, marginally over three runs/over, was the slowest within the Brendon McCullum-Ben Stokes era.
Lord’s presented a sluggish pitch, and England will feel they’ve been smart and pragmatic of their approach. India, then again, continuously teasing them for not being their ‘entertaining’ selves might take it as an ethical victory, with a caveat that they, too, must have done higher with the ball.
