Yes but a good start from both openers, Burns seemed to play well with something coming from his partner.
On the face of it Hameed is a natural opener so the hard ball suits his style.

It’s early days of course after a lot of changes but looks much better than with Sibley there.
Malan with experience and decent shots could slot in nicely

India reverting to type - losing the plot when it’s cold and swinging. England will win this series 2-1 now.

That back foot punch from Root is nothing short of glorious

50 up for Malan. Not bad for a player who can only score off the back foot. Abroad.

Love to see it, he's batted really nicely and justifying his selection brilliantly.

is Bairstow not a good enough keeper? He’s the second or third best (after malan) batter - why not replace Butler with Pope and have JB keep?

That’s been a hot topic on here.  :). I think England do want one of the youngsters back, Pope,Crawley or Lawrence.

Jos Butler plans to miss the Ashes so things could change

Is Pope going to add more with the bat than Buttler at the moment?

@Manormanic might have a heart attack but IF.. IF we really can't have Foakes (preferred choice!).. then I'd take Bairstow over Buttler as Wk Batsmen any day.

Good old Jonny can’t even contribute when the opponents are dead and buried. How he’s stolen 70+ test caps is baffling

Jesus.. I'm defending Bairstow...

Given numbers 1/2/3 and 4 scored really well... It is 'allowed' for 1/2 of the top 7 to fail... kinda expected right?!?!?!


really pleased to see Burns, Hameed, Malan and Root all scoring runs though. India have thrown the game away with their 1st inns batting for sure but still.. England are at least not repeating it which is good to see.

It is a long tail though with Moeen at 7

Do you think there is even a possibility to throw away from here. Even if Eng lose all remaining wickets for 0 runs, Eng will win with days left.

yeah, anyone thinking England can lose is just being dumb. India are purely fighting to draw which in reality is take the game as deep as possible and on the 5th day, hope you have 10 wickets to bat it out.

England can't lose.. .it's purely about 'can they win' or will they limp over the line. The game now will only be interesting come the 5th day
