*Official* England in India 2023/24 #CryMoreTour

It's only Shami that's missing. Kuldeep over Axar is a selectorial decision. Worth pointing out that being without your number 1 spinner in India is probably a bigger issue than second choice seamer.
I hardly think Siraj is that poor. Obviously Shami is an upgrade, but it's not like it has been so easy for the seamers (or spinners) this match. It was a truly brilliant performance from Bumrah last test. Fairly insane.

Rohit got lucky with technology being manipulated to protect BCCI interests. But he really needs to stop listening to his XI of idiots

I'm getting similar vibes to this Test- hope it plays out the same.

One team scores 445 with 2 centurions, then a left handed opener smashes it around and they get a lead of 150.

This is a horrific England side though, the attempt to hang on in the 3rd innings was horrendous.

If England are batting by tea they'll win this. It'll set up the classic awkward third innings where India get bowled out for 160. Need a couple of wickets early tomorrow.

29 overs in over 2 and a half hours, with a fresh team and mostly spin. Pretty obvious timewasting out there. That plus the running on the wicket makes for some pretty poor gamesmanship today.

I was thinking of that match too, although I couldn't have told you that England made exactly the first innings score as India here. I think we need to bat for the whole of Day 3, as I wouldn't want to be chasing many on Day 5.
