Good to see Bucky have a good all-round game. He needs to be firing from both barrels for the team's benefit, and his own. Twin fifties and five wickets for not too many, in an excessive workload of overs. India can safely bring back their proper spinner for the next four games.
Time to bring on Pankaj and Pandey for Lord's. Get your best bowlers in, folks!
England have one positive to take out of this game- they almost took 20 wickets. Both teams will struggle on flats.

It was pretty poor last summer as well.

He's backkkkk!
Disagree totally there. Plenty in it for bat and ball and produced a cracker.

Always likely to get a chance under Moores tbf

Yeah, surprised it taken this long to get him in a squad. Doubt he'll play at Lord's anyway but sure he will before the end of the series.
Wonder how many days he will get in the Lancashire game?

What a terrible test match.

I was so excited for a five match series. Hopefully this isn't how it's going to be.

I will give up watching England play at home if we see more filth wickets like this this summer.
It's easy to blame the groundsman and I guess he should be accountable, but the whole system of test allocation in England puts immense financial pressure on the hosts leaving them desperate to milk the five days for all they can. Probably fairer to blame the system rather than the curator.

Why not blame both?

Nevertheless, watching skipper Cook bowling was fun. Probably the only reason why this match should be remembered. Apart from Jimmy's knock.

He's backkkkk!
Taken his wickets at 34.6 this year.
About ten runs more per scalp than he did before his debut.
Factor in his non-batting and, well...

The Kerrigan selection makes no sense. Playing 2 spinners - let alone 2 mediocre, unexperienced spinners - in a home series against India should be completely out of the question.
Moeen is batting at 6, and has more than done his job as a part timer. Plunkett has performed. Stokes hasn't bowled poorly on a very, very flat pitch. But even if one of the seamers had bowled poorly, isn't Jordan in the squad for that reason? Kerrigan isn't a realistic chance of displacing any of these guys.
