Meanwhile, England collapsing against India, the decision to play an extra seamer instead of Capsey looking utterly ridiculous.

Surprised to see India not enforce the follow on, think they could get it done by tomorrow lunchtime if they had bowled.

Ecclestone at seven is crazy, and three seamers is definitely too many. Go with three spinners at least if you want five main bowlers. Basically, unless NSB gets runs, that top six is struggling.

It's even more daft picking 3 seamers when you have NSB who can also bowl anyway. They totally misread the pitch.

It has started turning a lot sooner than expected and it was probably a good toss to win, but even so, at least get the make up of your 11 right. Capsey's spin would've been useful too.

This shows how they need more tests played. England being totally outclassed here. Top performance by India so far.

Hmm, the more I watch today's proceedings the more it seems the toss was vital. The pitch was not behaving like this yesterday, so many keeping low.

But what England were doing with that extra seamer beggars belief. India should win this by about 300.
