yeah i'd have dropped him for a reason apart from his form atm. it might have been a good thing for england to drop another player from the previous team that got shell shocked

Yeah India have been much better over the first two tests. Broad missing the series is a big blow. He's often the one to pull a series win out of his arse with a couple of 7-wicket opening spells.

Seeing Pujara in the XI is such a awful feeling. Hopefully torture ends this game. I rest my hopes on Jimmy.

I think India's bowling being so good kind of negates the benefits of batting deep. It was the same when Australia toured. It doesn't matter much whether you have a handy number 8 or a total bunny when the bowler is Cummins or Bumrah, neither are getting runs.

Nailed on England win this.

Glad Overton is in at least, hope he does well. England going for a Bayliss-style #batdeep lineup with Ali/Curran/Overton/Robinson from 7-10. Let's see if they get outscored by Shami and Bumrah again.
I think India are right to stick with their 4 quicks. It's a such a strength to have that kind of relentless pace attack, doesn't give the fragile England batting a sniff. Ashwin unlucky to miss out but Jadeja is the better batsman to balance the side.

If the nailed on ENG win nails down the career of a few zombies in India team, I'll count it as a win myself.

Not really relentless. Both Ishant and Shami can be picked off. ENG just need someone else besides Root to stand up. Maybe this match.

Disappointed to see Bumrah playing. Should have been banned for the deliberate no balls. 
I hope the root/silverwood leadership group know something we don't when they pick Sam Curran again. No logical reason that I can see to pick him again.

Was definite spot fixing. Bumrah picked a spot on Andersons face and then kept trying to hit it.Disappointed to see Bumrah playing. Should have been banned for the deliberate no balls.

Shami does go for runs I guess, but he takes a lot of wickets too.
From what I've seen I don't think Ishant has bowled nearly as badly as some have made out, but I'm mostly following by radio and watching the highlights as I can't watch live.

Whatever it takes!!!
Unfortunately think not picking Ash is gonna bite us in the ass here. And there goes Rahul as I type.

Hmmm this already has the feel of a trademark English arsepull. Clouds, swing, early wicket.
