India need a Kohli knock now.
Ashwin really must have upset someone.
So which session today are England going to be batting, do we think?
After being snubbed for 4 tests, I do hope he upsets someone. I think it's more of the case of Kohli's ego. He loves to operate with 4 pacers.
Especially when 2 of England’s top 3 are left handers, and he is one of if not the best in the world at bowling to left handers
I think maybe, just maybe we can get past 78 this time around.
120-30 all out from here.
Early on the third session looks like
So there goes Kohli's all rounder. Better we win this match or Kohli has a lot to answer.
That is a really strange 11 we've picked.
It's infuriating how we have 15-20 very good players and we repeatedly do some galaxy brain shit to feck up the team

300 is still on the cards with a Kohli ton and a Pant 50 for India here.
+1 to your test wickets column..
That's a big wicket. It's doing something off the pitch, but not really swinging so 105 for 5 definitely seems on the low side.
Looks a 300 minimum deck. But England can't bat either so you never truly know until we have a crack on it.
Nothing crazy in this pitch at all. As far as being put in by the opposition in English conditions, this is pretty tame. Kohli had the opportunity to do this in the last test and put the England lineup back in straight under pressure but took the safe approach instead.
It’s a very good pitch I think. It’s not flat and is good to watch. We shouldn’t be five down.
You mean cumulatively over 2 innings right?
Ok hopefully this is the end of Pujara and Rahane. Massively overrated batters who have been protected by the current management. Embarrassing performance to say the least.
Was expecting a much better response from India than this
I think they’ll come out and play some shots to try and muster 200. Enough of this scratching around for 8 of 40 balls then getting out.
Woakes is such an upgrade on Curran it’s ridiculous
I know Pant naturally bats aggressively but he didn't score those runs in Australia etc charging down the wicket and trying to hoick it over mid off did he? Clumsy cricket.
In England, Woakes would be one of the first names on my team sheet
It’s really unnecessary. There’s a difference between batting aggressive and literally running down the pitch to seamers. You rarely see that level of aggression in 50 over cricket. Let alone day one of a test.
I would be fuming at Pant if I was an Indian fan. Carbon copy of getting out not playing the situation. Yes he's an attacking player but he needs to play each match and situation on it's own merits.

I think Overton was an surprisingly upgrade on Curran.

Thakur is slogging India back in to this test match
Awful drop from Bairstow. 3 poor drops today.
Poor keeping from Bairstow
What an innings. Yes he has swung his bat by boy that has been some clean hitting (mostly)
And India is still 185 for 7. Just shows how poor India has been today.
Haha, credit to him but it's been a pretty mixed bag.
When should we declare
damn he’s gone
damn he’s gone
Overton you lucky man
Well that wrapped up quickly. Mini disaster avoided.
