Saw real Indian batting skills today.

Let's wait till both sides have batted on the same pitch. This is Test cricket and it is called so for a reason.

Holy f�)� .. what happened

Lots of respect for Hameed - looked like he will get out any second, but he is fighting hard, and using his mind to overcome whatever flaws have crept into his game.

Looks like he has added some square of the wicket shots, he was always ok off his pads

Early days but promising

It's very refreshing to see England's openers punishing the crap balls in between keeping the good ones out.

What a comeback from Eng after all the drama of the 2nd Test. And Root hasn't even batted yet!

Hameed has some good offside shots, it could be Burns might play better with the scoreboard moving.

I do like Sibley but it�s pressure off if your partner can put those bad balls away as you say.

Agree, having a positive partner at other end definitely helps. With Sibley, Burns is left to fend for himself to relieve any pressure, makes huge diff IMO.

Sibley causes more problems than he solves. Unless he can improve his attacking intent he shouldn�t be anywhere near the England side again.

I think England still want Crawley and Pope and Lawrence to come thru. With the younger batsmen, to me anyway, Crawley and Pope look to be the most talented, Lawrence also.
Sibley is much harder to gauge as he has crease occupation but not much else.you would think it would be harder for him to develop a more attacking game than the others....

You never know thou, but agree you need an option when it's tight bowling on difficult wickets. Hameed seems to have developed some shots.

And that may take the pressure of Burns a bit. England have shown they are sticking with players these days, there might not be a route back easily for Sibley.

Malan is a good player, same with him, he will get the chances I reckon, 33 is not too old and even if he is 35 does it really matter...

Crawley and Pope will come back stronger (hopefully). I don�t really see what Lawrence brings to the side other than a poor technique and interesting ways he finds to get himself out.

I heard a stat recently about Burns - if he gets to 1 (eg doesn't get a duck) he averages 50+

54 I believe it was.

Hameed has gone into a Sibley-like shell here,just 3 off his last 50 balls.

Shame he got so bogged down

Love that overthrow from Siraj, toys out of the pram stuff.
