It also puts things into perspective for everyone who's grown old watching and playing this game. Loved ones have grown old-er too and the clock's always running. Cherish whatever time's left to you and yours.

India still have 2 spinners and 2 seamers available, essentially same bowling attack as England. They have 445 on the board and don’t have to bat last, it’s hardly done.

Hold fire, we're not there yet. I already said earlier this game had Lords 2023 vibes and we contrived to lose that one after Lyon couldn't bowl after Day 2.

According to reports his mother has been admitted to hospital
Aus had cam green and Travis head who picked 4 wickets between them. Not sure who in the Indian side can pick up the slack.

Jadeja & Kuldeep, Siraj and Bumrah is the attack now that is still very good ..
Jaiswal bowls legspin , Rohit Sharma used to be a handy off spinner back in the day ..

Necessity's the mother of...improvisation. Somebody will be asked to put their hand over the next three days unless someone from the main four left goes on a complete tear.

Why will they stop giving a **** then?
Both Siraj and bumrah felt niggles already . Could be an issue them having to carry the burden.
24 wickets between Jaiswal & Rohit in FC cricket doesn't sound great from an Indian perspective.
Jadeja & Kuldeep will need to bowl lots of overs. England will target them.

No, in addition to not being able to bat for most of them.

Some are saying a replacement is down to the opposition captain, is this confirmed? If so I can see Stokes agreeing to it! He wants to play the game the right way

England and India are paying out similar, though per the betting sites, England have now become slight favorites.

They will gain a moral victory against England which is hard to do these days.

We will see if the recall of Ian Bell in England will be reciprocated but I doubt we will see a replacement.
And while it would be a nice gesture, the rules are clear and I would not be mad at Stokes if he refused.

Probably the least biased male one. I'd say Urooj is the least biased commentator from the SC.
If that was the case why did they need to bring in the concussion rules?
I think people maybe confusing playing conditions in certain first class competitions with test rules. I have doubts about the test championship having any playing condition for this.

Yes. I forgot it was his 500th. My mistake.
