Another key wicket gone on umpire's call, getting none of the luck they need here.

Positives so far:
- Crawley looked great
- Bairstow wasn’t bowled
- We didn’t have to wake up at 4am to watch this ****.

Ok I’ll take 130 now please.

This is quite poor batting from England. Is it a modern thing to play so much off the back foot against spin, root and stokes playing back to balls that good have been played forward to?! Seem to remember root saying something about it on a sky sports podcast.

Come on archer, not seen his potential with the bat yet for England

Root definitely said he'd made a point of doing it in Sri Lanka. Not sure it's as clever a tactic on pitches with inconsistent bounce.

Our selection policy is absolutely crazy.

Our batting is abject

The Indians have bowled at the stumps and kept it tight - and we have applied the vaseline.

At least we get to listen to Sir Alastair Cook And Strauss ‘jousting’ like a couple of public schoolboys.

Would a more horses for courses selection to deal with spin have been sensible for the tour as a whole?

Rotation policy is commendable, great that they take mental health and wellbeing seriously, but could they have taken more reserves who are known for their skill against spin to give them options?

Would personally have foakes at 3. He looks the most comfortable against spin. Keeps getting left with the tail
