Anyone know about the world live commentary feed?  The above quote is taken from a press release.

Perfect, thank you.

As I'll be recording it and fast forwarding the ads and interval breaks, that'll be the people I shall be listening to. Not really fussed about studio stuff.

Non-exclusive deal so another broadcaster could also be showing it.

Coverage led by someone called Rishi Persad. BBC doing their social coverage so rules out Vaughan and cook (I think)

Rishi is more known for presenting the horse racing. Has done just about every sport known to man, regularly presents bowls! But has presented Rugby, Football and even Cricket before. He is a cricket fan though so you’d assume he would be a bit better than just a general sports presenter.

Just out... possibly Crawley missing injured.

England in India: Zak Crawley injured before first Test - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/55924989

On a separate note.... maybe the mods or original poster could change the thread title and we could just use this as the Series thread going forwards?

Then you might as well change it to "My England team would be...'

Yeah Crawley possibly out, burns,stokes and Ali and Pope all available.

With butler playing just this match he's keeping, Crawley missing out may not affect us so much there are a lot of choices.

I reckon Ali is in, they wanted to play him in SL as an allrounder. Stokes has to play obviously.

If Crawley is out id love to see Root moving to three to take that tricky position, the batting order is easier to work out if he does that.

If Crawley is out it's simple..

Burns, Sibley, Lawrence, root, stokes, pope, buttler Bess, archer, leach, broad

Rumour has it pope will play for Lawrence so a straight swap Lawrence for Crawley if he isn't fit would make most sense

Didn't Stokes bat at 3 in Sri Lanka a couple of years ago? Would make more sense to me to bring him in at 3 and let Lawrence keep no 5 given his inexperience. Or Root 3 and Stokes 4 but then you're into the argument of whether you should weaken a strength etc..

By that same logic, is it the right series to get yourself back into nick after an extended absence?

Ali does not have much form from the last couple of years, he does have a decent record despite this and many on here think he is an automatic pick.

I absolutely can't see us not playing him, England wanted him available in Sri Lanka I'm sure if it.

If Crawley is missing, I’d like to see foakes come in an take the gloves for the whole series and play butler as a batter only for the first game

Im prepared to throw an experienced, moderately successful player back in over Bess currently yes.

If Bess bowls anything like he did against Sri Lanka he will go for 6 an over and it could set him back years. remember how Kerrigan and Crane went?

More so than Bess at this point undoubtedly. These Indian batsman will not make presents of their wickets like the Sri Lankans did
