    If the pitch continues to be this bad and Root got 5-8 due to the pitch, batting last for a target of 50+ should see a fall of many wickets right?

    What is the benefit of such a poor wicket?

    India will probably knock off the 60 needed without even losing a wicket.

    Capital idea.
    Washington Sundar to bowl.

    Put yourself on Kohli.

    No need.

    I'd love to see Kohli's face if they lose from here.

    The question is will we open with Leach and Root?

    I hope that the Lord’s ground staff produce a green seamer for the WTC final and India get absolutely fucked by New Zealand...

    The sad thing is Leach is a more accomplished blocker than Bairstow. 
    Maybe Bairstow should concentrate on a longer form of the game like T20

    They will definitely win the game. 
    But they will lose wickets

    Bizarre, 10 minutes innings break, out there for 1 over, then the 40 minute break!

    Possibly, but India haven't exactly strolled the first 2 days so far. Feel it could have easily gone a different way.
    I just don't understand it.
    Prestigious 'new' ground, all over the world's press, then home by the end of day 2.

    I've already put my name forward to be third umpire for that match.

    Makes you reminisce about the five day drawn test matches of old when a test match lasts two days.

    Hard to bat on this wicket, but how many of the dismissals in this match have been to balls that have truly misbehaved?

    Good point, but it is so unpredictable, it is quite likely to be out to a ball that unpredictably stays straight!

    watching bairstow's dismissal, could drive a truck through the gap between bat and pad.

    Utter c***.

    as you watch the highlights of the wickets falling, there are so many where the commentator says 'falls to another straight ball'

    Pathetic

    The Indian public want India to win, but I imagine they're hoping to see Kohli creaming it around, not spinners dominate and the game over after 2 days

    Against spin:

    England 1st Innings: 64-9
    India 1st Innings: 62-9
    England 2nd Innings: 81 all out
