Prior drops another tough-ish one! It seems that for every chance he drops, he gets one from the selectors...

Is there no one better than Prior? His keeping is poor, no footwork.

Twice this morning an Indian has edged the ball and it's gone through the gap in the slip cordon.

Why's Cook got mid on? It's going around corners.

India should be 10/2 but due to Cook's negative captaincy it's 20/1

Eng not bowling straight enough or full enough.

Not sure Cook's captaincy has much to do with that...

Have to agree with Gerry on this. Hardly any runs since the 2nd over. Why on earth would you have a gap in the cordon? It's pure madness in conditions like this.

It is poor captaincy I feel.Why do you need a long on and long off? Let the batsman drive.

Errr, yes, but if you bowl too short, then the batsman won't and that has been the issue this morning.

Yep guilty of that too..

I like the way Pujara plays in these conditions ...so late and such a close and bottom grip on the bat...hope he gets a big one...

If he changed bowlers they would soon change lengths, bowl for the team or hook them.

If they had bowled properly at him I'm not sure that would have helped. He's been able to stay back and play it late due to the length. If it was pitched up and coming on with him on the front foot I think it would be slightly different.

This is getting pretty boring to watch now. Ball is hooping round corners but as has previously been said it's too short!

Both Plunkett and Broad have been off the pitch. Drinks have come on too. Why on earth in any of those 3 opportunities has a message not been given to bowl fuller!

I think this is a pretty good Test match surface.

60/40 in the bowlers favour IMO. Which is about right. Too many matches in the modern era are 75/25 in the batsmen favour.

If you show good technique and temperament you'll score runs to this pitch.

Pitch is crying out for Chris Woakes.

If he doesn't get a game on this then he never will. He's far too good a bowler to be running drinks.
