Number 11 getting runs now on this “poor wicket”

To be fair, Siraj was having a slog. Ashwin's innings shows what's possible though. Hoping for another hundred from Root to keep the calendar year runs record dream alive.

I think we need to see a contribution here from Burns especially.
Crawley and Bairstow available next game so there could be a change or two

This is a ridiculous amount of dust for day three, especially from the "good" part of the pitch

I don't think we should make too much of the pitch myself. The top went on day 1 and its the harder ball that is doing it.

India have had to prepare a pitch to get them and Ashwin back in the series.

Home advantage counts for a lot and they have used it.

Whether the top should go halfway thru day 1 yes that's a fair argument. But we are away and this pitch is like some of the old ones we used to encounter in the 80's which went from very early on.

My feelings on this game so far:

Pitch.. poor
England.. worse
Umpiring.. worse still
India... Brilliant

All is not lost. I didn’t think after one test we would be 1-0 up.

The umpiring has been awful agree with that.
The next test is under lights - it may be a chance for our seamers.

We need Anderson back and I would keep Stone in also

Yeah, i agree with that

Stone seems to be very similar to broad in style but 5-10mph quicker

I'd also go back to Bess I don't see how Ali is an improvement and Bess is the future, they show it with batsmen so should bowlers

This innings now could be make or break in the series, we roll over and we're in trouble, we fight and out up a score (anything within 200) and it's ok ISH

Sibley gone. You simply cannot play spin with that technique... look at the angle the bat comes down.

I've not seen lots of this test, but from what I've seen, the Indian spinners seem to be "hitting the pitch" - basically bowling quicker than we did and firing it in, meaning that when it turns it does it faster so harder to play. Moeen especially just seemed to be lobbing it up there.

if you are going that way then Siraj is better than Pant and Pujara put together :D :D :D expect to see Siraj in the top 5 next test (same sort of sarcastic style comment)

the wicket is not great - england have batted badly on it - india have batted well on it
