Can understand why he did it, it's generally good for batting at Lords, India do have a tail and it's been overcast most of the day.
You say we need the bowling to exploit the conditions but we need the batting and I'm afraid he probably does not have the confidence to survive.
Not great but that's the reality of it, I think he made the right call. Root is in a bit of a no win situation at the moment.

Curran seems to leak runs most games unless it's really swinging around and you wouldn't expect any spinner to get much day 1.

Not easy at all.

Masterful innings by KL Rahul long overdue 6th test century. Considering he was 4th choice opener he can be pretty proud of his work thus far.

Bumrah or Mickey Mouse at 8 is fine with me a hen you have, Shawna, kholi, Rahana, Pant above but we don�t. We have Root and that�s it currently.

Let�s hope he comes good but picked on 100 form and given his previous track record over last couple of years I�m afraid I think it will be same old same old.

Also looks like we could be chasing a fair few here

He�s got some to go to convince me that he�s still go much to offer in red ball cricket, but who else do we have at 8/9 that offer more with the bat than Mo and Curran?Pretty sure I�ve seen Wood in at 8 before.

Looks like only guys coming in from outside the starting 11 do well for Ind

(maybe they value the limited chances they get while regulars take it for granted).

When India get to 350 they should send up the declare flare, it would put real pressure on our batsmen and being how fragile we are I could see us completely folding for less than 200.

The way they're going they really should be looking at 450+

KL is the comeback kid! He was given a fair go at the top in tests but couldnt grab his opportunities then. So happy to see him succeed. He is such a treat to watch when in form!

Well, I'll take that for a start

Pretty safe to say Pujara and Rahane won�t be around too much long. Both are finished.

346-7 at lunch. Jadeja trying to manufacture some runs with India�s 4 number 11s...
It�s a shame we refuse to pick a genuine fourth seamer as Curran has been crap again.

What a recovery from England! Wow!

Right, we're gonna make a meal of this, right?
