'They Obviously Like The Food Here': Vaughan Trolls India On Pre-Lunch Collapses
Michael Vaughan has highlighted India captain Shubman Gill's concern about India's tendency to lose wickets in clusters before lunch.
Former England cricketer Michael Vaughan has said that India skipper Shubman Gill will be concerned about how India have been losing wickets in clusters since the first Test, pointing out the visitors' special knack of losing wickets before lunch, saying that they like the food in England.
Dismissals right before lunch have been a constant theme for India throughout the series, starting with KL Rahul and Sai Sudharsan departing on the opening day of the series opener in Headingley.
Vaughan put down the repeated theme of such dismissals to poor concentration and a cautious approach.
'Gill will be slightly concerned that you go to Leeds and collapse, then the little collapse on Day 4 and now another three quick wickets this morning. Yeah (on losing wickets before lunch being a concern for India), they like the food here, thinking about the lunches they can have if they are dismissed," Vaughan said while speaking on Cricbuzz.
'But that is just concentration. The more you think about batting differently towards the end of a session, the more you are probably going to get out," Vaughan added.
The former England cricketer highlighted how collapses have proven problematic for India in the series, including the late one on the fourth day of the Lord's Test, where Karun Nair, Gill and Akash Deep were dismissed right before the stumps.
Despite losing Yashasvi Jaiswal for a duck in the run chase, India had recovered to be placed at 41/1.
Veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and the fragile tail brought India back from the brink but fell short in the face of England skipper Ben Stokes' resolve, going down by 22 runs in the fluctuating third Test at Lord's.

IND vs ENG: Jasprit Bumrah set to play in do-or-die Test, Arshdeep Singh cuts bowling hand during nets session
While Jasprit Bumrah looks certain to play in the all-important fourth Test against England, Team India is staring at another injury blow after pacer Arshdeep Singh suffered a cut on his bowling hand during nets in Manchester on Thursday. Arshdeep, who is yet to feature in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, suffered a cut while stopping a ball hit by Sai Sudharsan on his follow-through. After the session concluded, the medical team swung into action, checking if the 26-year-old would require stitches. This was India's first practice session after suffering a 22-run loss to England in the third Test of the series to go 2-1 down. Arshdeep Singh hasn't been entrusted with a spot yet in Tests but if the team management chooses to rest one of the pacers, he was in the running to make his debut. That, however, will now depend on the extent of his injury. India's assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate said: 'Arshdeep took a ball while he was bowling there, Sai hit a ball and he tried to stop it and it's just a cut. So we have to see how bad the cut is. Obviously, the medical team have taken him off to see a doctor and obviously, if he needs stitches or doesn't need stitches it's going to be important to our planning for the next few days.' The tourists are already faced with concerns over the injury to wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant. He was struck on the index finger of his left hand as he attempted to collect a Jasprit Bumrah delivery that flew down the leg side during England's first innings on Day 1 of the Lord's Test. Pant was in visible pain and did not keep wickets for the rest of the Test. India captain Shubman Gill, however, said Pant will be fit to play in the fourth Test, starting July 23 in Manchester. Doeschate, meanwhile, all but confirmed that pace spearhead Bumrah, too, will play the do-or-die Test. 'We'll make that call in Manchester. We know we've got him for one of the last two Tests. I think it's pretty obvious the series is on the line now in Manchester, so there will be a leaning towards playing him,' he said.

Yashasvi Jaiswal's poor shot opened up the Lord's Test: Stuart Broad
Former England fast bowler Stuart Broad feels that the poor shot from Yashasvi Jaiswal opened up the Lord's Test on Day 4. India were set a target of 193 runs in the fourth innings on day 4 as KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal began India's chase. However, they didn't get off to a great start as Jofra Archer got rid of Jaiswal in the second over opening batter top-edged him while attempting to play a pull shot and was caught by wicketkepeer Jamie Smith. As a result, he was dismissed for a seven-ball duck as India lost their first wicket with just five runs on the board. Recently, Stuart Broad shared his views on Jaiswal's shot and said that the opener should've tried to upper cut it as his presence at the crease could've kept the scoreboard moving.'So Jaiswal getting out, really bad shot, I'm surprised He just didn't look to cut it over the off-side. Suddenly England are like okay, we are in. He is the player who moves the scoreboard forward. In a low chase, when you are defending, if you come to bowl and you've got a Sehwag, Warner, the opening batters that can take the game away from you and they up 60 for none or one off ten, the game is sort of done,' Stuart Broad said on 'For The Love Of Cricket' podcast. Furthermore, Broad mentioned how Karun Nair's arrival at the crease helped England set attacking fields and take control of the game.'As soon as Karun Nair came in, he is someone who plays each ball on merit, then England could control it and set attacking fields, create pressure. So I thought that was a really big moment. England making that breakthrough early, Jaiswal gone,' Broad was dismissed lbw after misjudging a in-swinging delivery from Brydon Carse. Shubman Gill and nightwatchman Akash Deep were also dismissed cheaply to leave India on 58/4 at Day 5 brought more agony as Rishabh Pant, Washington Sundar and KL Rahul were dismissed inside the first session, and India were eventually bowled out for 170 after some resistance from Ravindra Jadeja (61*). As a result, England won the match by 22 runs and took a 2-1 lead in the series with two matches remaining.- EndsTrending Reel
