Spoiler: Jonny Bairstow watch

 

[Ed Smith]

Be all out for 200 here

Ashwin's exclusion does surprise me, but then again- Virat Kohli is the captain!

While England are tottering at 138/5, they still got their main man is yet to bat. Curran would bring some parity to the total here.

Shami has been bowling so well! Good to see him back in action. We are back to 2018, top order fails for England and lower order to rescue. Root is the man, hopefully we can keep chipping away at the other end,

Anything under 200 and India will be confident of troubling England for the rest of the match. Anything over 250 and we are doomed!!!!

Add Ollie Robinson to that list now.

Test match cricket at its very best.

Brilliant from India they cornered Buttler from the very start & deserved his wicket.

Excellent to watch.

That was a horrible innings from Buttler.

Now comes the man of the last series in 2018 where he single handedly proved to be difference between the two sides.

That was a horrible innings from Buttler.

He looked like getting out every ball; a particular shame as I have an almost Ed Smithian desire for Buttler to succeed

 

[wasteyouryouth]

So far this summer, in their first innings, England have accumulated 3, 4 and 3 (so far) ducks.

He looked like getting out every ball; a particular shame as I have an almost Ed Smithian desire for Buttler to succeed

Looked like he does at the start of every series when he's been playing limited overs beforehand.

 

[Aislabie]

I don't think it's controversial to say that Mohammed Siraj is an unusually attractive man

 

[asprin]

Root's still there. Curran is in. Dare I say anything about India's Achilles heel?

 

[wasteyouryouth]

Indian bowlers have been superb today.
