Not winning this game then
Eng have recovered from similar positions and gone on to win vs NZ, and the two architects of those comebacks are still there. So nothing off the table anytime soon.

Chatting to lads on the actual county circuit. Crawley and Pope are the lads at your clubs  that are just far too good to be playing that level and that’s from across all the counties apparently. I’m sure there time will come to shine on the international circuit… even if it isn’t now and it’s after a break for Crawley. The guy has scored plenty and destroyed attacks in the past.

I also want to see him at three rather than open 👍

Def agree with this, County Championship averages are not the be all and end all of assessing a player, tres and Vaughan would never of played if that was the case.

We’ve seen some players in recent time have time out and work on their game, Crawley is getting out the same way, he’s young and has the shots.

Long term we have to start backing these young batsman and work with them.

I think he has the talent to do well, but needs some work on his game for now.

I agree to a point, but picking him right now is just unkind, he is so out of form (I mean I saw him play a T20 for Kent at Lords between tests and he made some bang average seamers look like a peak period West Indies)

But it shouldnt be Terminal, they need to work with him.

And on the meantime, find a way to get Harry Brook in the side. He's a different level of of player.

Yes totally agree. The SA series is 6 weeks away, I think England will want Crawley to play as much County cricket as he can.

One of the problems is he is too loose for an opener, so a replacement probably will be another opener, maybe Sibley again is an option. Less extravagant and more defensive.

The problem with Brook or Bohannon to name 2 is unless they open a re jig in the order is difficult to see.

I actually think Crawley has more chance at 4 or 5- but there’s no space.

I cannot see a spot for Brook for the next series. Highly rated I would agree with you, but where does he fit in.

Crawley is not the only one, Lees is just starting out in the side but finding pace and movement is different in tests than County

I see that Kohli's verbals to Bairstow have backfired a bit

Stokes gets dropped twice from absolute dollies.  Continued to slog. Gets caught by a flying Bumrah.

England reach 284 all out. India’s lead is 132. Essentially Pant’s innings is the difference so far.

Clips look like it bounced, very strange decision...

4-1 Gill out after 3 balls. This guy isn’t an opener.

Gill stays side on and doesn't get behind the ball. Don't see him succeeding in swinging conditions as opener. He may score maybe at 5/6 in Bairstow type role, but not as opener.

India 125-3 at stumps. Pujara 50 not out. Pant 30 not out but was dropped off the final ball of the day.
India lead by 257 runs.
16 overs lost due to terrible over rates
Seems to be some variable bounce as well
