“They got the score on both sides of the goal, right?” Ponting said honestly. “I think they were also tactically gone. I don’t think Cartaris should take a new ball. I didn’t like that from the beginning.”

Do you agree to the evaluation of the Indian tactics of Ricky Ponting on the 2nd day?
Duckett took full advantage of and broke five of his first six boundaries on the side of the foot behind the square.“They were wrong there,” Ponting continued. “Even though he is watching now, Bumrah is bowling from the wrong end. Most of the goal fell from the end of Statham and did most of his work since the end of Anderson. They were out of execution and were tactically gone.”England ended day 2. On 225/2 in response to India 358, which watched 133 runs. Duckett (94) and Crawley (84) both did not reach centuries, but their aggressive beginning ensured that England was holding momentum in 3 days. Cartear, played only for the injuries of the Indian Pace unit, raised his first test goal when Duckett slipped him into Dhruv Jurel.With a series at 2-1 in favor of England, victory in Manchester would close the Ben Stokes series. However, pointed Ponting notes suggest that India’s strategies may require serious re -evaluation if they are to take five tests in the oval referee for five tests.
