Would personally have foakes at 3. He looks the most comfortable against spin. Keeps getting left with the tail

Batting first that's certainly an option, just worry that batting 3 and batting long and then having to keep will stop England getting the best of Foakes in either discipline.

He’s one of our better batsmen ..in danger of being stranded 10 not out at the moment

Would a more horses for courses selection to deal with spin have been sensible for the tour as a whole?

Rotation policy is commendable, great that they take mental health and wellbeing seriously, but could they have taken more reserves who are known for their skill against spin to give them options?
Not taking Jennings looks dafter by the innings. Surely a better bet than sticking Bairstow/Lawrence in out of position at 3.

Sending Moeen and Buttler home also looking very strange. But then if those two get rested and win England the WT20 then it'll look like a masterstroke.

That I don't have a problem with, Foakes is very able backup to Buttler and expecting guys to stare at hotel walls for months on end without their performance suffering is naiive. Moeen's hardly irreplacable either, also wouldn't be a problem if they hadn't ballsed up dropping Bess when there's have backup.

Top quality stuff from Axar in his second test! Like for like replacement for jadeja

Very poor from England.

They better hope it swings around corner under lights. Not picking Bess looks to be a mistake - why was broad even picked after doing nothing last test

In this position England have got to hold on to the belief that in the pink balls tests there can be a session of carnage and if India find themselves on the end of one of those then it is a way back into the game.

I think Rohit showed the way on a pitch like this in the last test by going out and having a swing.  If you prod around you will get a ball that will get you out.  Better to chance your arm, spread the field to get rid of the close catchers and put some pressure back on the fielding side

As if Archer hasn't got the new ball. Ugh.

Ball hit the grass but soft signal was out. For me it should’ve stayed out.

Only one view of that too!! Rubbish umpiring

Is it the same joker in the 3rd umpire chair as last test?

How many views did they look at for the Pujara catch. I'd walk off
