Talking about who to drop to get Stokes back in. Closing arguments from the various lawyers are on Monday, so are we that sure he is going to be available?

If he is - no one has mentioned dropping Rashid.... he didn't bowl a ball in this test and if the conditions are the same at Trent Bridge then do we really need a spinner?

So is it true that Broad was back bowling at just under 90mph??
Also i like Rashid as a spinner! He will go for a few runs but leggirs always take wickets.
Who to drop? Curren and Woakes have both taken their opportunity! If conditions are the same as Lords then drop Rashid. Id we need a front line spinner then either SC or CW! Glad i'm not a selector!!!

Yeah when he changed ends and started taking wickets he was up at 88mph

He always seems to find a spell when it looks like he’s favourite to be dropped!

Wouldn't be surprised if Selectors   leave out Pope but If they do that who bats 4

I don't think Stokes will be named in the squad for the 3rd test

He shouldn’t be in the team
Scoring hundreds taking wickets and what with everyone saying he’s the nicest guy you’d hope to meet
Drop him now

Actually it's one hundred in  26 tests in an England test shirt

Yet when woakes does the same you’d say

“Doesn’t really show much, bad India under the pump with an injured Kohli in perfect bowling conditions. Shouldn’t be playing “

Had a read through my posts Chris no mention of any of the above apart from perfect bowling conditions

If Stokes is available then Curran misses out for me.  Done nothing wrong by Stokes is the better player at this stage od their respective careers.  To be a top side you need to have the luxury of having enough options that you find yourself leaving out good players in good form.  Makes a change from recent times where it seems that we struggle to name an 11 so limited have been our options

23 of which he has batted at either 8 or 9 where we all know it's easy to score big runs.

If Stokes is available....lets not bank on it, but if he is, I think this is where rotation comes into play.  Rest one of the older guys for this game, the other for the fourth.  Curran is doing nicely enough, and should as far as possible be given the series to develop into international cricket - having originally worried that he might not be sharp enough for international cricket, his ability to move the ball both ways has proved sufficient, along with his left arm angle,  and the three games left this year, and six over the winter, are great times for him to bed into the squad.

Or maybe England pick a few more youngsters in the XI and then beat India..just to rub it in!

Not sure if India has anyone in their squad who can help reverse the tide. You know it is really really bad when Ashwin wins a poll to open the batting for India in the next test.

Thing is they've had Agarwal, Iyer, Shaw, Pant and Nair all here in the A side, and all scoring runs against County and Lions opposition.

Certainly had more exposure to the moving ball than some of the test players.  Thought Pujara looked comfortable, well effective until out in the second, and was unfortunately run out in the first.

No idea what Vijay was thinking trying to turn that ball to leg in the first innings, and got a ripper in the second.  Rahane looks good in flashes.  KL Rahul is batting too high in the order for Test cricket - they need to decide what they're doing sharpish with the batting, else it'll be over quickly this week as well.
