Seems Woakes has dropped well down the pecking order?

[simboy]

I’m not sure Woakes is going to get in ahead of Broad in this game and they want an initial burst of pace - perhaps they’re going to play him in the Day/Night.

Think if India get past 275 England are going to struggle. Looks a bit of a full on Bunsen to me

That said India are making it look very easy at the moment.

They are arn't they, Rohit has played like it's a limited overs game at times which may be the right approach because the pitch surface is full of small cracks and that one ball may hit a crack and make it unplayable.
Can't see this game going into the fifth day.

Yep, this is looking a bit ominous at the moment and we need to slow them down.  On another note, how can you go from no fans to the amount that are there in the space of a few days? 

[PaulWinch again]

Unless there’s another angle on that it should have been out.

3rd umpire has got one badly wrong there but thankfully moeen bowled him a few deliveries later.

[PaulWinch again]

Someone needs to look at the third umpire that’s two bad errors - particularly the second. Luckily they don’t matter.

Wickets fall as soon as I stop watching. Will bear in mind for future sessions.

The pitch is a disgrace.

I did the same.  Walked the dog and India lose two wickets.  That stumping was out as well, cheating swine!!  Where is VAR when you need it? Mike Dean would have given it, and sent him off!

Same here with me, the wickets went when I finally decided to sack it off.

[olaftab]

Kohli really expecting the crowd to rupture at his attempted cover drive. Should that be counted as a "review used"??
At least Grace had the decency to refuse an LBW.

[olaftab]

The Rohit 161 is going to be the difference in this match.

I've played beach cricket on better wickets. Baffling how this is an 80 over, day 1 pitch. The toss will have won the game.
