Morne Morkel (Image Credit – Sahil Malhotra/Timesofindia.com) Timesofindia.com in Manchester: Indian bowling coach Morne Morkel expressed concern when he admitted that his pitchs lacked the bite and energy of the 3rd Fourth Test in Old Trafford, emphasizing the disturbing decline in the pace of the fast team. “We are trying to wrap our heads around it. Not too much to judge in it, but it was a heavy outfield. But we need energy on the ball on the surface like this,” said Indian bowling coach to reporters at the end of the day 3. The numbers also emphasize concerns. Jasprit Bumrah bowed over 140 km / HV 39.84% of his headingley vans and 26.84% in Lord’s. In Old Trafford, this number fell to only 0.57% (only 1 out of 173 balls, including without a ball). This stunning decline at the pace for the Indian cap is certainly interested in the party when they set out on 4th day. The Indian market unit tried to penetrate all day when England ended on 3 days on 544/7, which led 186 runs. Sensational 150 and Ollie Pope 71 Joe Root maintained visitors under pressure all the time, with India for the first time since 2015 she admitted 500 Plus in overseas test shifts. However, Morkel said the team was disciplined compared to the previous day. “We were much better with the ball today. It was a hard day yesterday,” he said. “Siraj and boom (Bumrah) started well today.” Both and Siraj were to scare the injuries before tea and leave the field in discomfort. Morkel downplayed concerns and said, “Bumrah overturned the ankle down the stairs, Siraj also rolled ankle. Both are fine.” In this decisive test, India handed over debut to Anshul Kartoji, who has only one goal of Ben Ducketta, who showed up, which came on 2 days. “We needed someone to mix volume and is accurate. His name has been in a mix for a long time,” Morkel said. Shardul Thakur was in the meantime used sparingly. The six years of the 33 -year -old on Friday did not increase much compared to five breaks. “Hard when you have four sailors and you go over five,” Morkel said. Washington Sundar, who chose two goals, was brought to the attack only in the 69th place. The bowling coach elaborated the timing of his deployment and said, “SHUBMAN made the challenge to hold longer with the seam.”

On the ongoing exclusion of Kuldeep Yadava, he added: “Right now is bowling, he’s a good pitch, but at the moment it’s because of the depth of batting and balance on the side.” With England, which seeks to expand its advantage, India is facing a steep climb. Visitors will have to force a turnover on Saturday.
