What a return for Monty! and his crazy eyes celebration had me in stitches  :D

Who misses the 3rd seamer now?

Anderson has bowled well without much luck, Broad disappointing

Great effort so far from the spinners, all I can say about Broad is he better score some runs and hope Finn stays injured.

The way this pitch is playing, we'll be following on again. India to open with their spinners?

Don't think we'll see many overs of seam that's for sure. Not really sure what Broads role in this side is, and worried Bairstow (amongst others) could really be shown up playing so much spin.

Broad's role?  Surely that of the promising young up and coming seamer who will be good at an unspecified point in the middle distance? :P

I think he's fast becoming the bowling equivalent of bell, really frustrating 80% of the time, but when he does click he's unplayable and you remember it for ages. Both of them do my head in.

Anyone else wondering if Pujara is going to start signing autographs with an asterix after his name?

See how he fairs outside of India, I doubt he'll last long in South Africa or Australia

All the more reason to play Meaker, if we are picking an unfit broad so we don't weaken the batting it's embarassing.

^Totally agree, If Broad is going to bowl like this then there is absolutely no reason not to play Meaker. And before anyone points out how our batting will be weakened I'd like to say that I doubt seriously whether Broad will get into double figures on this tour!  :D

Pujara with back to back tons.

Great stat on sky, 22 hundreds in the last 15 days of cricket.
