Game over, 2-3 more before close. India have no chance even if Kohli is there. Far too many runs

Not sure of the thinking by sending in Ashwin in front of Karkik and Panyda unless it was o try and smash a few.

Hang around around a bit and see if the newish ball was my thinking.

Get Kohli out and win the game. Simple. India are only a good chasing side because of him. If you get him out for cheap, India pretty much lose every time.

That's what great players do.

I think it is Eng's game. 84 runs needed from here is not easy at all for Ind.

I think as Kholi is still there India are slight favourites.

If kholi is still there we will lose. He already showed how to farm the strike that is world class batting.

There's not enough runs for Rashid to be fair to him so root did not bowl him much Root won't want easy runs given away

To be fair thou whatever you think on selection this is more a seamers wicket. Ishant has bowled well.Shami too and how Anderson did not get a hatful 1st innings I do not know.

As far a changes go does Malan did another go? stokes missing next match we don't like too many changes at once usually

Get Kohli out win the game.... simples.... hahaha

As for changes... Mo for Stokes because of the court case.  Then Malan has to go surely, remember he got nothing against Pakistan as well. This test would also be pretty much done and dusted if he could catch a cold!! I would bring in a right hander so either Clarke or Pope.

I’d personally go with Ali so replace stokes and pope to replace malan.

Ali as he fits into that all-rounder role and pope is there for the future, also one less left hander.

Can't keep Malan after this run of form and his piss poor catching in the slips which could possibly lose us the game in hindsight

Like they talked valut today on comms he's been out 11 out of last 12 times defending and every one is a mirror image of the last. Footwork is none existant,  I don't care if he plays for middlesex like Strauss and Smith, he's not good enough

But it’s ok for moeen, Bairstow, stokes and co to keep getting out in the same ways ??

It really annoys me when they keep saying these are the best we have and standards in county cricket are poor. Sam Curran has shown exactly what you get if you give young talent a chance! He' not the finish article but temperament is outstanding. Joe Clarke for me next test. Pope and Lawrence also great talents who should be looked at. Young talent needs to be given the opportunity if we are to find the next generation of test players.

Heard somebody saying at Edgbaston that Curran is the Ben Stokes you could take home to meet your mum.

The other stat that got pulled out was that since his debut, no one has had a higher percentage of dismissals whilst playing defensive shots than Malan.  His form is wretched and his fielding could cost England this game, but looking at the bigger  picture, his technique isn't up to playing at this level and, a month away from turning 31, he isn't one to persevere with for the future.

England are at the point where they need to identify young players with the potential to be able to play to this level in the future, not picking experienced county pros who aren't and never will be up to the task
