Got it. Then, agree with the "Shaw", "Padikkal", and "Krishna"s.

If Krunal plays today as the full rime bowler today, that makes zero sense!

I guess kuldeep gets replaced by Chahal or chahar! The question is does Dhawan get a boot? India needs to score at least six runs a over in power play today! May be Kohli comes into open? And bring SkY in MO

England has outplayed india in ODI even though they lost the first game! Need to see some adjustment from india

It's worth staying awake today, Atithee. 100 for no loss in 14 overs, after a sedate 65 in the opening 10 (PowerPlay) overs. Dhawan seems a chastened man today, attacking from the start.

I’m awake but still not happy with the number of dot balls. And, how we have the worst spin bowlers and worst batsmen against spin now. How times change!

Our spinners participate in a home run derby while the opponent spinners are like a 3rd order differential equation.

Neither of them could pick the googly, which by definition is not an ordinary ball for a leggie :-)

But Kohli falls to Moeen, and the good start has been wasted.

Yes, no use of feet! Kohli gone!

Just weird to see indian team struggling against spinners! Our last specialist batting pair

Again KL rahul too many dot balls! Just 1 run off 5 balls! Pitch may offer turn! So they may lose this match even fatser than last one! They are not looking to dominate spinners

Why when the greatest of them, Warne was never successful against us? No spinners ever mastered Indian batting. Now, it’s our greatest weakness. Because we play zero first class domestic cricket. We are too important to play domestics. Only the Pujaras etc. play domestics.

It wouldn’t be so bad if our bowlers don’t get taken to the cleaners. England will be 100/1 in 10 overs.

KL does not even take single! His running between wickets is pathetic

First positive stroke against spinners! Just weird that none of our top 4 showed thisintent
We are making Moen world class

KL a very ordinary show today! Very slow batting and got out to rank wide full toss !may not last full 50 overs

Pandya does not know how to take singles!
