Don’t see this match going 5 days - looks a poor wicket already.

300-350 might be a decent first innings score

Another couple wickets here and India could be in bother..

140 odd - 3 and rohit has 100 of them isn't exactly dominant (except Rohit who looks like he's on a different pitch)

Yeah we are doing alright, Broad doing a good job of just bowling straight to tie up some runs.

Moeen looks toothless

Really don't get that change from Bess, at least he had a knack of taking wickets

Get stone on for a burst

This already feels like we're going to be way behind

No control from any of the bowlers

180 up in 50 overs

I think Leach and Moeen bowl at different pace, Leach looks to get it into the pitch a bit harder, similar to Panesar. Mo a bit more floaty and slower

Rohit seems like someone that could’ve achieved so much more in Test cricket. Nearly 34 years old only played 30 odd Tests. When he’s on he’s better than Kohli for my money...

Helped by Rohit starting like a train...

But if root maths but take that out and we've contained them pretty well

Need 2/3 quick now though

No doubt rohit has played well and taken the attack. Been a good knock to watch

I don't think England have bowled as badly as the run rate would perhaps imply. It does feel like the pitch has calmed and slowed down a bit so apart from the odd one that really bites and does a bit too much to actually get a wicket, the rest of the time it's relatively straight forward to bat on.

I think that's very harsh on Leach. He's going at a run less than the team and bowled almost half the overs.

Leach has bowled very well from what I have seen.
And Stone is doing alright as well.

Whether it’s Bess or Moeen it’s keeping the run rate down from that end.

As predicted... Moeen is not keeping the runs down or taking wickets...

Not really understanding the logic of dropping Bess fit Ali who has played very little cricket in the last 12 months and very little red ball cricket in longer than that.
Stone looks a decent prospect, not seem much of him she got people jumping around with a 58 over call and looks tidy.

One thing for sure this won’t be a draw this test, England need to knock India over for 300-325 ideally

It’s great to have test cricket back on the TV.
First time I’ve seen Stone bowl; looks good, very good.
Also first time Ive seen Rohit and Rahane bat...unfortunately they also look good,
very good!
Tough, hard, skilful test cricket. You can’t beat it!
