Runs in the team but bowling seems weak

How Taylor does not have a place in that squad is beyond me.

I know Swanny made some inflammatory comments the other day but today was shocking.

It was like watching my team play and we are the worst in the world, literally check us out on LMS or all out cricket mag.

Get rid of all the old guard for the last game and let Taylor,Hales,Butler et al play their shots go at the bowling and not have to worry that Cook will get out for his obligatory low score!

Slightly confused how Willey gets in so many peoples teams as a frontline bowler at the moment. Rashids a decent call but Tredwell and Ali appear to be holding his position fine at the moment. Woakes should be nailed on for the squad.

Roy I'm still a bit dubious over his technique at international level but if he can pull it off in the t20 good for him, nice to know we can find an agressive South African replacement batsmen so quickly .

Plus Boyd Rankin, Vince, Michael Lumb, Luke Wright, Bopara and Roy as squad players...

Bowling is weak though.

I just watched the highlights and wow. That England effort was poor beyond belief. Apart from Ali their strike rates were appalling. What on earth is going on?

[Kieron_BT]

Rashid can't be far away from getting a call up in any of the formats!

150 and a 5for!

Headingly tomorrow.  Is it time for a resurgence or another day of chasing leather?

Weather looks good.  BBC suggesting a spot of rain in the afternoon.. win the toss, bat first and then...

[Slackie]

Can't see England putting up anymore resistance however, the team is full of quality and on the off day could put one to India.

I think we all know by now that despite being more than good enough, Dilly's only chance of getting in this England squad is if he retrains as a Michelin starred Tofu chef!

[joeljonno]

England will probably win today. India have nothing to play for so will let them win and Cook will be all happy and that.

strange england.

stokes and tredwell for ballance and gurney. dont really undertsand that.


but 2 down already, hales and ali gone for single figures. big loss again

[Gerry SA]

Shock Alex Hales still can't score on the leg side.

Must've been bullying some average bowling in domestic cricket to get such hype surrounding his batting...

God knows why Ballance was dropped either...

[TBONTB]

its a long tail too. If these two do not put a few on then it could get awkward again!

[Buzz]

Ballance being dropped was ludicrous
Ali being moved to 3 when he should be at 5 also nuts.

Give Hales time - he has only played a couple of games. The guy is fantastic. He is also under huge pressure because he has Cook at the other end.

[Gerry SA]

Little bit of spin for Ashwin/Raina/Jadeja and England are totally mesmerised. Barely getting the ball off the square.
