    Its definitely not a test track but let's not forget how difficult it has been for sub continent players in the past to counter pitches in the uk when its seamer friendly..

    The Indian spinners are far better though. .Commentary becoming a bit biased along with a lot of chirping..turned the volume down and feel a bit better!

    Not helped by the band leader, Kohli, now orchestrating the crowd!

    We have the pontiff and they have the 3rd umpire

    Could save a lot of time and effect in the 3rd test by just tossing the coin, awarding the match and moving on to the 4th test.

    Next test is day nighter. 
    Broad and Anderson with the pink ball. 
    Should be a better contest.

    No wonder Kohli didn't look too perturbed at the toss about Bumrah not playing!

    Pope out to a ball that should have been a four.

    Thinking this through, I wonder if we will actually see that much more of Jos Buttler in Tests should Foakes sort out his susceptibility against fast short pitched stuff.

    The argument for Buttler leaving is because he has been constantly in a bubble but let's not forget that he was at the IPL 'til November and will be in another one from and prior to the 2021 IPL in April. England might decide that, with Buttler's ongoing commitments to white ball cricket, that they would now be better off without him.

    And on each occasion Kohli had major doubts but didn't want to upset Ashwin in particular. Serves them right!

    Just shows how well Rohit did yesterday scoring as he did on this wicket.

    True, but it also shows we didn't bowl well

    I suspected it will be Anderson and Woakes but your right. 

    Although I still suspect if you bat first you will win.  Unless the other team does something exceptional.

    Will we beat the follow on?

    not that I expect India to enforce it.

    Question for you cricket experts:
    Against quality spin, who is the best England opener?
    (in the squad or not)

    Both Stone and Leech bowled well but Ashwin and Axar Patel have a bespoke pitch to show their talents.

    Sibley was a tad unlucky with his dismissal but a second day pitch became a 5th day pitch and normal service with Indian was resumed when they play in their own backyard.

    Jennings averages 44 in the sub continent against spin so it would probably be him. Trouble is Bumrah might have cleaned him up before a spinner even gets to bowl

    Leachy - please put it away all the time Foakes is at the other end!
