Second innings under way and this is just Day-2! What's going on with Test cricket.

Day 2?

You drop Rohit once and it’s bad news. You drop him twice and you know it’s game changing. Magnificent century.

Day 2?

When I wrote the comment, it was Day 2 of the Test.

Are you implying that it is typical for a "Day 2"? It really is not.

We could be in real trouble here. No Ashwin beggars belief!

The number of Tests that are finished inside 4 days (or less) it's not exactly uncommon, either.

Robinson strikes, we needed that.

No Ashwin might get us out of jail in this game..maybe.

It’s pretty baffling of all venues he’s not playing at the oval

Ashwin paying price for out of form batsmen including Rahane and Pant. If every batsmen did their job, then Ashwin would be playing

I don’t see the issue with Ashwin missing out. Everyone is acting like India has picked some bum as his replacement. Couldn’t be further from the truth. Jadeja is the best left arm spinner in the world. Sure Ashwin is the best spinner in the world but his deputy isn’t too bad either.

Very rare across a 5 match series with up to 25 days of cricket that one individual can decisively turn the outcome but Burns looks to have managed that with his slip catching here across both innings.  As humiliating an effort at fielding as you are likely to see at intentional level

Was nice to go today, although I did get slightly irritated by the public schoolboy lads who will not stop bloody talking.

Still feel like it's an even game, get one or two early doors and it opens up a little more.

Burns has shelled a few this series, don’t know we are flush with slip fielders…Bairstow is good in any position, Mo, Root.

I think Overton is decent as well as an option.
Burns fields there for Surrey but seems to drop too many.
Think I’d have Root,Malan and Mo in there.
I’ve seen Anderson before also in there.
On flat decks you get punished missing too many, I think Burns should be replaced myself

He’s a top player in his own right, but as an England supporter you’d have him in the side over Ashwin all day long. Not scored many runs and not taken many wickets.
Any game we’re batting last we all know who you’d rather be facing.

They won't catch us this time! Not this time! They haven't spotted us! No, they're all snoring in their bunks! Or, you know what? They're drinking at the bar, celebrating our sinking! Not yet, my friends. Not yet!

Well I’d assume Kohli/Shastri would say it’s a problem with balancing the side.
If Ashwin is to play you think they’d want Pandya as their all rounder but he doesn’t seem interested in the red ball game anymore.
Ashwin situation, outside Asia, isn’t too dissimilar to the Stokes/Leach situation.

I see why they’ve done it but I think they’d be better placed now if they’d played Ashwin over Jadeja, though we’ll never know for sure.
