Dont like changing the batting order like this. Sends a negative message to the new bloke coming in next

Pitch is really slow already.

I dunno, does it really matter if he bats at 6 instead of five?
If anything he probably would be grateful IF these 2 can hang around to somewhat steady this innings.

Maybe it was just always the intention. They clearly don't have much faith in Sarfaraz having passed on so many opportunities to debut him. It's not that silly to think they might think Jadeja is just better.

Axar randomly batting 5 a couple of times might count against my theory though.

I think they are a bit too obsessed with keeping a left-right partnership

Thats a poor drop

Huge drop ! Root just dropped the entire series right there , Rohit is amazing when he gets a second life ..100 incoming

Well hey, so at least we know a few things.
- Patidar will not cut it at this level; sure, give him a few chances but he's not going anywhere.
- Gill's will be a career that will never quite be put out of its misery because he's Indian cricket's golden boy but he will continue being a mid-to-late 30s averaging batsman...if he's lucky.
- Jaiswal's failings outside off seem more down to impatience and judgement than any chronic technical issues. He will probably struggle away from home but definitely worth persevering with.

International Vice-Captain
He's been one of the worst players for England in the series so far. Only saving grace has been his bowling
Bumrah has his number atm and his spin game has suffered under Bazball. Averages 41 against it since McCullum came in which is very low for someone of his calibre against spin that has played most of his innings outside the SC.

Very good analysis
