You need at least 2 fast/seam bowlers in India - especially when the one you pick is brittle and is an impact bowler.

Oh dear! well i thought it might be quite exiting. Stokes drags us out of the poo, but now our spinners being given a little bit of 'tap' - this'll be a real test of Stokes' captaincy.

England burn all three reviews inside 14 overs. Madness.

As much as I'd like to see England doing well, Jaiswal is such an exciting player.

Why is Dawson never in contention to play for England in test cricket? An experienced bowler who has done well in County cricket.

Should have been one of the first names on the team sheet but face doesn't fit apparently. Don't blame him for taking the SAT20 cash instead.

I think he intimated that he wouldn't want to miss out on the money to sit on the bench or carry drinks...

Hard one isn’t it as no archer, stone, Broad any longer so express pace isn’t in great availability currently but I would imagine Indian batsmen would rather face a trio of spinners with the exception of Leech not much experience and Leech has experience but isn’t prolific wicket taker over Wood, Anderson and Woakes plus Leech & root.

Early days only day 1 of 1st test and plenty of excitement already

Thing is, with rookie spinners you really need as a batting unit to try and get 300 plus on the board to give 'em a chance.

I'm going to try some rare positivity - Hartley and Rehan to share 6 wickets between them and tomorrow we end up with less than 50 in arrears.

Lets see what happens when I awake, however, I really, really hope the young lefty fights back tomorrow and shows what he's about!

(Wonder if Bash the Offie would've made a difference?)

I felt exactly the same mate. Win the toss and you’ve got to get 350 par.
And just hope to wake up with only 50 arrears tomorrow.

One of those wasted reviews would be very handy about now.
