Roooooooooot.

Love it when the Indian crowd (and commentators) get stunned in to silence!

Foakes is showing why we need to bin off part-time keepers.

He�s making a difference to the team. Certainly when standing up which is the test of a good keeper
He�s class

This is (No Swearing Please) hilarious. Root laughing at his own figures is just pushing him out in front as my favourite cricketer of all time.

This could be all over today.

Can we agree, without suggestion of bias now, that this pitch is not suited to a five day test match?

Couldn�t agree more - this is an horrendous example of a test match pitch.

We are away but if we complain about the pitch it�s seen as sour grapes...

But is it suitable for a five day test match. We know it�s going to spin early in the games but this is a lottery

Obviously can see why it comes across as bitter but this is the second pitch they've produced that is clearly not fit for five days of elite cricket. Cannot see how that does test cricket any favours.

This pitch wouldn�t even be suitable for a 2nd XI 3 day match. It�s terrible. The BCCI have obviously ordered dustbowls as they think their spinners are superior, and their batsmen are more adept at playing on such wickets. I really hope it backfired on them.

Every country curates wickets to benefit the home team, but rarely as blatantly as this. In England a lot of the movement is down to the ball and atmospheric conditions - it is very rare that you�ll see a test played on a green top.

Exactly right. We can do nothing about the ball moving in the air. What I want to know is Kholi got the pitch he wanted after we win the first test.
Is this what he wanted again?

fair play i'd be a bit pissed off if my club wicket was like this if it was in august and we were playing on a wicket that had been used 4 times
