Silverwood has said that he’ll rotate his fast bowlers so perhaps an opening for Stone, who would be a like for like for Jofra, or our own Ollie Robinson? Personally I’d like to see Anderson and Broad play. |

Why are Anderson and Bess not playing? Moeen and Broad have added nothing.

Win toss, win game. Moeen & Leach turning it square on day one, with some not turning which makes it even trickier. Uneven bounce too.
350, 285, 220, 175. Give or take.

Have to say I like Foakes with the gloves.

Have to say I like Foakes with the gloves. Me too. I think he makes the others look like part time keepers. |

Why did England send in a tea watchman?

Jack Leach is a doppelganger of Matt Prior

Not only is the pitch a sub standard sand pit, the 3rd umpire is completely biased.

Nothing wrong with the pitch just our batsman are crap. A 5 day pitch shouldn’t break up on day 1 surely? I agree our batters don’t play the pitch as well as theirs but that’s because that’s the sort of surface Indian kids grow up on. That doesn’t mean it’s acceptable for an international 5 day Test. |
