The fact that the 3rd umpire is making very quick decisions with one replay half the time, and then watching 7 different reviews on some of the others, at a guess.
You could argue he's doing the latter when he hasn't got the angle etc, but it does seem a second angle can't hurt on tight ones like the stumping.
At least in the last Test the 3rd Umpire gave us the opportunity to see that the foot wasn't grounded behind the line before deciding that it was "not out". We don't even get that now!
Missed the Kohli wicket live because of winding back to watch the potential stumping. Still looked like the foot was grounded to me but we were robbed in the last test and that is impacting on this game.
Pleased Pope's dropped catch hasn't cost England too many runs.
Cook and Strauss saying the right way to bat 1st innings won't necessarily be the right way to bat 2nd innings for England. Tough gig this batting on bespoke Indian pitches when Patel and Ashwin are spinning the ball one ball and the next goes straight on. Plus their change of pace is deceptive.
Jack Leech has gained so much confidence since the 1st innings at Chennai in the first test when he was erratic.

England so needed that wicket.

Seemed a very snap decision for something that wasn't clear at all.
Very inconsistent, the cynical part of me would query why it's so inconsistent between each innings....
