It's getting funkier! Baz talking about the possibility of a 4 man spin attack this series!

Funky will be when Joe Root drops down to eight to accommodate a returning Harry Brook, but plays as an opening bowler.  Seam up.

Stokes and Brook bowling spin as 6th and 7th change, Ben Foakes takes the keeping kit off and gives it to Pope so he can turn the arm over with some 55mph mediums, Joe Root is late back from teas because he popped to the shop for a pack of Mayfairs which he proceeds to chain smoke on the boundary at deep square leg. Bazball.

Leach out of the next test sadly. Could we see Dan Lawrence make a late entrance at some stage this series? If it does end up being worse and worse bunsens as the series goes on I'd quite fancy him frogdarting them in at pace. Plus he's about the most Bazball batsman ever.

Lawrence def has now a good chance of playing.

Wonder if just if…….we might go in with all spin. Wood was redundant last game plus anything’s possible under the new style Bazball.

India are not going to be able to change the pitches to seam friendly.

It’s going to be going sideways at the toss

England seem sorted. India on the other hand have a lot of questions to answer. Injury to KL and Jadeja doesnt help. In a way, India deserved this result for overlooking test specialists in favour of limited overs cricket stars. A Che Pujara would have made a big difference. Also, the spin options are interesting. Both Kuldeep and Washington are mainly T20/ODI specialist spinners. Will be interesting to see what the bowling line up will look like.

Am a bit surprised Pujara hasn't been called up, I think he would be helpful given Kohli and KL being absent

It's all a bit odd. The daft thing is, if they prepared a green seamer they'd annihilate us!

Jaiswal looks like some player, going to score an absolute mountain of runs you have to think. Bashir giving a good account of himself on debut it seems.

I like the looks of Bashir but still think he has been thrown into Test cricket a bit undercooked. Its not easy bowling long spells with a plan if you dont have enough experience.

Think England will be delighted to have them 6 down on that pitch

Amazing debut by bashir considering his age and he outbowled all the spinners and got two wickets in debut on a flat track

A wonderfully contested test match. India the deserved winners but it could have genuinely gone either way. Wonderful to see a sporting pitch. Lot of ppl thought BCCI over react to the defeat in the first test with a rank turner but this was a pitch that had something for everyone.

Agreed - a great test pitch and a good game. Sadly giving up 100+ again on first innings proved too much.

I think it's great that England have been open to new bowlers in recent years. For such an inexperienced attack they've done fabulously well.
