Time for England to try and find two new openers.

I've had doubts about Sibley and Burns before. That said, not sure anyone would do too well opening up against high quality spin on this deck. Looks super tough!

At least try and answer the question

There isn't any other openers as good, and certainly not many who would play quality spin better

I think short term in Indian conditions it might not be the worst idea to rest Burns. He's in horrible nick and this isn't doing him any good. Crawley in if he's fit, Bairstow a left field very short term option, a la Jennings in SL.

Sibley got 80 odd opening last test, has earned the right to keep his spot I think. Every time he's been challenged he's gone away and improved, England need to back him.

In terms of opening options going forward, Lammonby is nowhere near ready but looks a prospect. Maybe they go to one of the old pros in the CC, as the Aussies did with Chris Rogers?

Don't blame him. That looked stone dead - don't know how DRS determined umpire's call on impact.

It’s difficult to change an opener now, Crawley could come in for Burns...agree about Sibley...but he would be batting quite high and didn’t score any against spin in SL-plus he has missed two weeks

If a change was made I could see England going with Bairstow and leaving Lawrence at 3 and Root will stay at 4.

Doesn't matter, shouldn't be hounding the umpire like that. Could take a leaf out of Root's book and just walk away from it...

I think someone said it earlier but it is very obvious the difference in speeds and general methods between the spinners. The Indians bowling quicker and into the surface.

The day night test pitch will be something now I reckon. Shastri been on the blower already no doubts. By a raging turner with a pink ball under lights will be something different.

Agree that it's not what you want to see but when have you seen him walk away from such instances since he's been India captain? He's not a Root or Rahane as captain
