India v England Second Test Report Card, Day Three

Featuring trademarked ludicrous comebacks, cleansing one's imagination and the all-new Nighthawk

Trademarked Ludicrous Comebacks
Grade: B+

Two days of being overwhelmed by India safely squared away, it was time for England’s Ludicrous Comeback™ to begin.

James Anderson started it, dismissing both openers cheaply, before Ben Stokes put an end to a spirited fightback from Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer by catching the latter with a brilliant catch, running with the skied ball, taking it over his shoulder in a tumbling, diving effort.

Imagine trying to play a game of cricket against Stokes. Maddening man, just doing improbable things - batting, run-outing, catching - to you without a word of apology. Play cricket properly, Ben.
