This is not smart batting: Kumar Sangakkara
Kumar Sangakkara said on-air, “I wonder if he has cured the right leg, and he wanted to go to the square. It’s not a scoop. The scoop he plays easily, and it is a sweep, and is normally played with a spinner, and it was too much room. It was too much. For lunch.
The legendary Sri Lankan batsman also criticized England’s ultra-invasive approach at Lord’s for 4 days in the morning. The commentator said that the way he batted was not smart or controlled, nor was ‘Bajball’. Sangakkara signed, saying, “This is just proud. Not even Bazball.”

India denied Root’s wicket in a dramatic turn
Meanwhile, just after the lunch break, the root was almost a big wicket in India, but all of this ended in despair and despair. Akash Deep bowled a teasing delivery outside the stump, which was enough to catch the edge of the root.
The ball flew directly to the glove of Indian wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurael, but the shocking thing is that it dropped out as soon as possible. While India was stunned on the missing occasion, umpire Paul Refel raised his hand and called it a front-out no-ball.
Even if the catch was cleaned, it would not be counted. It was a double blow to India as they missed the opportunity, and delivery was also illegal.
Joe escapes from a close LBW call from root Mohammad Siraj
Later, Mohammad Sirj almost trapped the roots in front of the stump. The ball took a nice length faster and hit the root on the front pad before deflect on the bat. Siraj went into a vigorous appeal and had a long discussion with the Indian captain, Shubman Gill about leaving for a review.
However, they went against taking the review, and this is the correct call out. Replay showed that the ball hits the route outside the line of the off stump, which meant that he was safe. Root survived a close call and raised the same, as England scored 119 runs at Lord’s.
