Hope Stokes isn't suckered into declaring before the close. But I suppose he will assume the next two days will be rain interrupted and do it anyway.

Bairstow lost all his fluency then. Starc around the wicket at him worked pretty well. Great knock though.

Bit of a flurry before close then declare overnight I reckon to give bowlers full rest

A bit of a disappointing series with the bat for YJB but positive signs too. We need to work out the best team balance for India and have him at his counter attacking best

Averaged pretty much 40. Inconsistent but not a disappointment given the injury. His keeping on the other hand...
