Shubman Gill Sledge England Players: The third Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy is being held at Lord’s, which started today. In this match, the England team won the toss and decided to bat first. Playing first in the match, England’s ‘badgeball’ strategy has been seen so far. Regarding this thing, Indian captain Shubman Gill was seen sledging veterans Joe Root and Ollie Pope.

Shubman Gill had fun for English batsmen
Looking at the speed at which the England team is scoring runs at present, it seems that a proper Test match is being played. Between 28 and 33 overs, the England team was able to score only 2 runs. During this, one run was scored after 29 balls. England is scoring at a run rate of less than 3. Due to this the match seems quite boring. Fans and Indian players thought that when England would come out to bat, they would show an aggressive style of badball. But this has not happened yet. This is the reason why Gill sledged Root-Pope at the beginning of the second session.

During this, he was heard saying through the stump mic, ‘No more entertaining cricket’, ‘Back to boring cricket’. Surely, Gill is trying to provoke the English players to score runs at a fast pace by sledging them in this way, so that they make some mistake in a hurry and India gets wickets.
England’s score crosses 100
Only 98 runs in 35 overs.

Shubman Gill’s India buried bazball in Edgbaston.
The pair of Jack Crowley and Ben Duckett gave the team a good start and added 43 runs for the first wicket. This pair was broken by Nitish Reddy. He sent both the openers to the pavilion at a score of 44. After two wickets fell early, Root and Pope took charge of England’s innings and took the team’s score beyond 100. The Indian team is now looking for the third wicket.
