India v England, Fourth ODI, Mohali
The 4th match of the ongoing series between India and England takes place tomorrow at the PCA stadium Mohali.
India are 2-1 up in the series and would want to rap the series up here itself. Over the last couple of matches, the bowling unit clicked together, providing quite some relief to skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, although the led bowler Ishant Sharma's inconsistencies should be a matter of concern. In the batting department, there has been too much reliance on the captain in recent times, but the return to form of Virat Kohli in the last match again provides Dhoni some space. The opening is a trouble spot, Gautam Gambhir's struggles have now extended into ODI cricket as well, and Ajinkya Rahane hasn't been able to take his chances. It is unlikely though that Cheteshwar Pujara would make his ODI debut tomorrow, as the team management may not opt to change a winning combination.
After a promising start to the series, familiar problems have returned to haunt England. The 2 batting collapses in the last 2 matches were quite dreadful. Although James Tredwell has stepped in well for Graeme Swann, Steven Finn bowled well, and Joe Root and Samit Patel combined well for the 5th bowler duties, the support seamers, Jade Dernbach, Tim Bresnan and Chris Wokes were very disappointing so far. There are hints that hard hitting wicketkeeper Jos Buttler might come in for the inconsistent Craig Kieswetter, and Dernbach might give way to Stuart Meaker.
Conditions won't be too demanding for England, and in fact, there should be some life for their quicks on the Mohali track.

Re: India v England, Fourth ODI, Mohali
India won the toss and decided to chase. England on expected lines, dropped Craig Kieswetter for Jos Buttler. But in a bizarre move, India have opted for Rohit Sharma in place of Ajinkya Rahane. So that is one cheap wicket down for next to nothing even before the chase start, assuming Mr attitude will be opening with Mr start waster that is.

Another slowish start from the England openers, 33 without loss in the 9th over. Importantly, both Cook and Bell are still there, and if they manage not to lose their wickets and build on this, the slow start won't really matter.

Another failure from Bell, out for 10, but more important, after taking up 25 balls. KP joins Cook. England 47-1 in the 13rd over.

England 53-1 after 15 overs. Pietersen 2 of 16 balls. Captain Cook on 33 of 49. Ishant Sharma going only for 5 runs in his 4 overs besides the wicket of Bell.

Another excellent performance from Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 10-2- 30-0. England 88-1 after 23. R Ashwin not able to contain much, none for 18 from his 3 overs, going at 6 an over.

108-1 after 27, Cook batting 65, Pietersen batting 23. England have a solid platform here, and both the Indian spinners aren't able to keep things quite. Pietersen hasn't really got going as yet though, but he has a start, and we all know what he can do ones he gets going. Seems like trouble shaping up for India.

Re: India v England, Fourth ODI, Mohali
Cook has had more than his share of rough decisions on this tour...on the other hand he has made a ton of runs so I reckon on balance he'll take it
Morgan rather threw it away there...
KP needs to go on if England are to get a par score or better.

Cook out to another shocker. Can't the other Test Nations just agree not to play India again until they have DRS implemented? England have to look at 260 minimum here.

Re: India v England, Fourth ODI, Mohali
Cook out to another poor umpiring call, and Morgan yet again gave his wicket away. Now its all up to Pietersen to ensure England post a decent total.

Re: India v England, Fourth ODI, Mohali
Promoting Patel for the power play was a mistake in my view ...I'd sooner see him in at the end to slog.
Root doing a goodish job again . Keeps impressing me whenever he plays.
KP uncharacteristically restrained. Tells me this is not so easy to play on , so a fairly modest total may well be defendable.
How modest ? We shall see...

Anything less than 250 and England surely are sunk. Put your foot down lads!

Root is playing a fine hand, KP hasn't been his usual self, but he has hung in there, and there is still time to make a KP like impact.

From my POV its great to see another player take on KP's role and KP to take on the tick over role..It shows we can mix it up when needed..

Ashwin has taken a pasting today. This partnership is really turning it on for England.

The Pietersen show was really getting warmed up, luckily for India, the damage is limited, Sharma has him bowled for 76.

Need a big last couple of overs. One left for Jadeja, but this is Sharma bowled out, so who gets the last over?

Re: India v England, Fourth ODI, Mohali
A terrible drop from Raina is costing India dearly, Root can really damage them in the last 2 overs, he's set and playing well. It really was a stupid drop from one of the better fielders in the side. Jadeja deserved that wicket, giving away only 2 runs in the 47th over. Bowling him in the last overs could be dangerous, and the first ball of a new over goes all the way.

Jadeja gets Buttler, that could alone make a 10-15 run difference at the end.

Re: India v England, Fourth ODI, Mohali
But out now...clever bowling Jadeja , tossing that one wide ...still England are within range of 250 , even 260 now if they can finish ...
that's Bresnan finished ...before he got started , alas.
Get Root on strike and settle for 250 ?

And Bresnan failes to contribute anything with the bat other than wasting 2 valuable balls, out for a 2nd ball duck to hand Jadeja his 3rd wicket.

Good comeback from Jadeja - 6 4 w . w 1
Could be the crucial over.

Re: India v England, Fourth ODI, Mohali
Will Root be dropped when Jonathan Trott comes back? Trott can never play an innings of this kind, as he bats one paced throughout his innings. But Trot can score big ODI runs. Or will it be Patel giving way?

Re: India v England, Fourth ODI, Mohali
Reckon this is at least a par score now
Jadeja did a fine job for India but the last few overs have been generally pretty good for England ...this last has gone for 14 ...last ball : just a bye , but 257 isn't bad...96 from the last nine !

257 gives England a decent total to bowl at. Hopefully Attitude and Waster will get some runs today and won't leave everything to Dhoni.

Re: India v England, Fourth ODI, Mohali
Ended up not bad - well played by Root at the end to get us to a respectable score.
Can't help feeling though that we could easily have had 20 more - a bit like the Indian innings in the first match, we kept losing wickets just as we were getting the momentum swinging in our direction.
Cook was obviously unlucky, but then the quick dismissals of Patel and Mogs put the brakes on at a bad time. KP looked to be just finding his fluency when well bowled by Sharma (who had a very good day), and then Jadeja did well in his last over to respond to going for 10 in the first two balls.
Be interesting if the seam movement the Indian bowlers found early on is there for our guys - if so, we need a couple of early wickets to defend this total.

Unless this is that 1 in 20 match where Rohit Sharma scores runs, England should have 1 early wicket.

Rohit hasn't scored much in the last 10-15 matches, Unfortunately for both sides, this could be the day.

Root is turning in to a fantastic cricket, has the ability to clear the rope and play clever shots to generate boundaries. Also, the other key facet to his game, he can dig in and grind out an innings, Trott/Cook esque..

Re: India v England, Fourth ODI, Mohali
England ended pretty well with 100 runs from the last 10 overs. Some of the impressive batting show by Root. Indian Bowlers bowl pretty well in the first 40. Once again the death bowling created a problem for India. But lets see what India can pump up in the batting. I don't know why india opted Rohit Sharma instead of pujara. Lets see whether he will put a seal on the mouth of his opposer or he will end with a gud batting show.

Re: India v England, Fourth ODI, Mohali
I actually fancy England to defend this.
Will need all the seamers to keep their minds on the job though ( looking at you , Dernbach ) so India have to work for their runs...don't want to be donating a bunch of wides and short rubbish.
...of course Yuvraj or Dhoni could make a joke of this theory on their own , but I'm feeling optimistic...

Both sides seem to be struggling with their death bowling. Not convinced England scored enough in their first 40 overs although somewhat understandable the way wickets fell. To win, I suspect England will need 10 wickets ....

Re: India v England, Fourth ODI, Mohali
Seems like its one of those of rarest of rare days with Rohit Sharma!. A fine shot to get things going. When he plays well, it makes for great watching. But that just happens ones or twice a year. He had made 13 runs in 5 matches in Sri Lanka and was dropped, but scored some T-20I runs and is back in the ODI side as well. Not sure I would really want Rohit to score big today and go underground for the rest of the year and make the team carry the bagage.
