I see Porter almost being groomed as the Jimmy replacement, not overly quick but moves it both ways. Wouldn't be surprised if he ends up opening for years to come.

Yep definitely agree with this. At some point this series Jimmy will be rested and Porter will be his replacement.

We're having a bat lads.

might be sooner actually England talking about rotation of the bowlers for this series.5 tests in  weeks is tough.

you would think Anderson,Broad might miss one test each

if it gets tight I wonder if we will actually do that thou.  sri lanka in the winter might be tour for one or other of them to miss

[six and out]

India play just Ashwin and drop Pujara. Rahul to bat 3.

Rashid will of wanted to bowl last you would think

we need runs on the board thousand that has been our weakness recently

as in...big runs on good pitches

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

Me neither.  I was particularly flummoxed as to why he wasn't part of the test squad in Australia over the winter when the conditions needed pace and bounce but instead we took a load of low 80s seam bowlers who were gun barrel straight in those conditions

India have lost the plot, spin after 6 overs with the pitch doing a bit

What do I know, masterstroke

Cook gone bowled ashwin

[six and out]

Jesus that in the 8th over.... this could get interesting later on.

Root comes out wearing a CREAM jumper. NB finally sorting that out!

Even if we lose this match, at least we can take the positives from this.

Both sides maybe wishing that they had picked a second spinner now
