Nice of England to let Curran create some lovely footholes for Ashwin to bowl into against our bevy of left handers.

Will he be attempting to bowl them out from wide behind their legs?

Pitiful decision to select Rashid. Too good for county cricket yet a fluke delivery to Kohli in an ODI sees him leapfrog Leach, Bess and Moeen.

Does Ashwin turn it enough to make him a threat bowling wide of leg stump?

Ashwin now also bowls pretty decent leg spin as well

So England are playing 1 spinner and surprise surprise it's Rashid. Curran gets the nod over Porter.

England XI for first Test: Joe Root (capt), James Anderson, Jonny Bairstow (wk), Stuart Broad, Jos Buttler, Alastair Cook, Sam Curran, Keaton Jennings, Dawid Malan, Adil Rashid, Ben Stokes.

England v India: Adil Rashid named as hosts' only spinner for first Test - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/45017582


England don't normally anounce their team until the morning of the match.

They have done this time, on paper it's five proper bowlers and we bat deep with Curran and Rashid in.

Whether Rashid should be in or, has been pointed out by others, will do well based on past performances, we will find out.

One place maybe you could argue but we have the best players picked and that's all they can do.

England have won only one of the last nine, that's not good enough and we will be up against it here.

If Root bowls some overs as well, and India bat last we probably have our best chance-while the Indian batsmen are a bit undercooked.

Erm Sam Currant Bun-why?! His military medos will be like a gentle bowling machine for Kohli and co! We desperately need Jofra Archer to qualify- any other genuine quicke out there?

Jamie porter is supposed to be sharp, if only he was in the squad

Jamie Overton is quick but injury troubled

Porter isn't sharp, he's a good old fashioned English seamer.

Porter bowls similar pace to Curran, low 80's generally

I stand corrected, I thought I’d read somewhere on a list of the quickest on the county scene!

I dunno how plunkett has not played more last couple of years, he's pretty quick

but roland jones probably was the one they wanted long term but a real bad injury scuppered that.

Porter whether he is quick enough or not could of been given a chance this game, by all reports he has been the best bowler over a couple of years

 pace not always the answer at test level unless you are brett lee or ahktar where you can blast people out

TRJ isn't very quick either, I always imagine Porter to be a similar bowler to him.
