New ball going everywhere now. Disappointed end to a good afternoon for England. England need nip out these two asap

[Seniorplayer]

 Yes after the first over  cooks face says it  all he gives the new ball to Woakes  who goes for. Ten

[SOULMAN1012]

Nip these two out early tomorrow and we don't really want India having any more than about 30-40 in front and then we really need to bat well for at least a day and half and put some pressure on India 2nd innings with out bowlers having a good total to bowl too, cook bat all 2nd innings and the powerful and long middle order doing there job. Well here is hoping anyway

Whats your issue with Woakes? Think his becoming a serious cricketer for us

[Seniorplayer]

No issue Dave  for me on this   tour so far he has not been good enough with bat or ball

[csnew]

Saw the Anderson appealing for obstructing the field - thought it was pretty pathetic. Batsman hasn't moved at all to get in the way of the ball

[billyb]

I'm surprised that Woakes is being criticised, for me he is one of our best players. We've only played a couple of tests remember.

Lead already 75. First time jadeja has batted properly.

[csnew]

Woakes smacked 4 4s in that over, few on here would have enjoyed that. Jadeja teeing off
Pitch looks pretty flat, not spinning much

[Felix Tito]

Woakes is totally useless in sub continental conditions. He runs in and puts the ball on a length. Straight up and down. Incapable of getting reverse swing. Just gifting the opposition batsmen easy scoring opportunities

[csnew]

Jadeja throws away the chance for a 100. Much needed wicket for England

[petehosk]

I am not watching the match. But judging by the scores, it does sound like the wicket is not getting any worse and maybe even getting flatter?

Commentators have all been saying so. Odds on some gremlins having run out and miraculously turned it into a minefield at tea though?

Root opens with Cook, not sure about that.

[csnew]

Surely Ali should have opened?

[ppccopener]

hameed must be struggling with the whack on the hand in the 1st innings....

we will do well to hang on this evening, hard going in the field but what an effort from Stokes.....
