Wicket looks an absolute road. If we get shot out on this we won’t be batting again until day 4.

I certainly wouldn’t say it’s a road, looks very similar to the last wicket, spinning and going through the top after 16overs. However Aswin got a Ton on a similar looking wicket on the 3rd or 4th day.

These two will certainly need to bat for a while to set up a decent 1st innings score which given we have 3 seamers and leach and root it’s fair to say it looks like we will need.

Root gone. Yikes.

Thank goodness for Sir Zak Crawley and Sir Ben Stokes.

Stokes going all Moeen Ali on the spinners would be very fun while it lasted.

I would like to retract my statement about this being a road. Not the bit about batting next on day 4 though.

Crawley gone.

Least England might be bowling under lights. The only chance they have to save this day.

Not winning many matches 4 down in the first session. Poor cricket

India’s spinners seem pretty decent...

Not sure this has been down to poor cricket from England, none of the dismissals have been stupid shots. Axar bowling really well and it's hardly a secret that England struggle against left arm spin.

I’m going to say it this isn’t a very good wicket. Not for the fact of the spin no problems with that but the inconsistent bounce after 25 or so overs isnt good.

Some how we need to try and get this 1st innings score to 275 - 300 but with a long tail and only Foakes to come really will be a real battle. India have once again bowled superbly

Agreed - the second test was full of rash shots, with the majority of the balls that misbehaved doing way too much to catch an edge.  Here, whilst losing four wickets on the first morning is not a good look, I'd say three of the four were genuinely got out

2 players missing straight balls and sibley out to a bit of bounce with the new ball.

I’d argue only root got a good one but yes it’s the pitch’s fault again.

I see India struggling under lights with the pink ball so if England can get to 230 and have 10-15 overs at them

Suffice to say I don't think one spinner was the correct call to make
