Whatever it takes!!!
I mean they've got a sheet clearing up the outfield at the moment
I think they have made it part of the playing conditions but its really not there at all as far as I can make out. No way is Rashid getting it to turn that much if there is even slightest amount of dew out there.

Couldn't we find a decent middle order bat to replace Nitish/Rinku?

Poor innings. Washington's never impressed me in white ball cricket. He's lucky to be playing in this team if you ask me.

It has been really good from England today in the field but there has been some bad strategy from the Indian think tank as well. Axar is a far better player of spin in any format than Washy as a batsman. If they wanted the left-right combination, it should have been Axar coming in at 6, Jurel 7 and Washy 8. Washy is plenty talented as a bat but he has not yet found out his pace and style in white ball cricket, esp. T20s. So the lesser balls he faces, the better for him as he at least would stop thinking too much and just try to hit the thing.

Overton getting some credit back with the ball. If, as seems likely, Smith is out of the next game, the top 7 all but picks itself.
When he's bowling no problem with him playing, but he's not even a bowling all-rounder at International level, more just a bowler that bats, number 7 is stupid. He's there instead of Wood for me.

Credit to Steven Finn who was about the only person at halfway who thought England had a half decent total.

Why pick Jurel if you're going to put him at 8? Terrible team selection.
Effectively playing as a specialist Number 8 bat is very bizarre.

Couple of questions for India in this format -

Is Hardik our #5? Or is he our #7? We need Hardik doing far more with the bat if he is our #5.
Do we really need 2 wrist spinners? Can we look at one more bowler who can score some runs quick with the bat at 9?

Problem is india are missing a finisher in rinku singh and big hitting all rounder nitish reddy. Jurel is stop gap till they are back
