Just realised how drunk I was last night.

There aren't many candidates but I think Cook's value to us is as a batsman, so there's got to be another alternative.

I really dislike this telegraphed Plunkett short bowling tactic. The short ball is fine as a surprise but this is garbage and cost us runs.

Now the game is gone, the only value is Moeen getting some overs under his belt.

Why haven't India declared to force Cook to bat ?

Gary Ballance's leg spin looks useful

Maybe India have decided that Cook is so rubbish at the moment, they don't what to have him bat, fail again and thus give the England selectors any more reason to drop him.

Cook has a wicket! Changed to bowling seam, this is very weird.

Great over by Ballance - he seems to have the raw ability. Cooks bowling is awful but he gets a wicket. Sharma will never live that one down!
