India look like they're gradually building towards something substantial now. We've been here before in this series.

This is not great from England against Nair. He was struggling against anything on a length outside off, why try the short catchers + overpitched tactic?

Nair's a strange bag. Has real tech glitches but can also pull off some stunning drives.
Pretty typical of technically correct batsmen who have hard hands, these batsmen were a dime a dozen in Aus in the mid 00s and early 10s

His weakness against short of a length balls that move away is pretty terminal though. That's a Test bowler's stock ball when they just want a dot ball, you can't be nicking those with regularity.
