Thought he worked well in the first innings as a destructive #6 punishing tired bowling. He just needs his teammates to not run him out - his kryptonite so far in his Test career.

If not broken no need to fix it, I think he bats around 5 or 6 in Ranji anyway.
Jurel did well on his debut, but damn this morning would have been perfect for Pant. If he can play the IPL then he can play the next test series IMO.

Top tier Saturday. If I planned that England would be all out at lunch and I'd dobble my drive on the 1st.

This bowling set-up usually comes back well from an off day so not unduly worried yet. 230 runs is still a healthy cushion.

so far McCullum / Stokes have given test debuts to Brook, Jacks and Livingstone. Plus half a dozen bowlers (Potts, Parkinson, Overton, Ahmed, Tongue, Hartley and Bashir) probably only one of whom can be deemed successful, yet. They've really gone with those already there, but cleared their minds. Duckett had already played 4 tests before being recalled. Four of those who have made their debut have only played one test.

Again cricket is not important in the scheme of things(hope all ends up well with his family/him). As was the case with Brook and Kohli
But christ this is massive for the outcome of the game and series.

Ashwin pulled out of test for family emergency. Hope all OK in the end.

Ah not good. Obviously all the best to his family.

Ashwin withdraws from Rajkot Test because of family emergency
As things stand, India will have to play with only ten men in the remainder of the Rajkot Test if Ashwin doesn't return

Wow, sending good vibes his way.
Do we get to substitute a bowler in this scenario?
Edit: Apparently not, this one's done then.

It wouldn't put it past Stokes/McCullum for them to try and press to allow for Axar to replace him.
But then ICC aren't going to change a ruling like this with such little notice.

I think if he has to be replaced it will be Washy. But its a moot point as I dunno if they will let it happen. Best wishes and prayers with Ash and his family. Hope things can turn out ok.
Anyways this game is done now, IMO. Congrats England.

That would be one of the finest instances of sportsmanship ever, but really unfair to expect them to do it. England should extend their sympathies and drive the nail in if they can.
