Anyways, as accurate as the Hawk Eye is it will always show you the estimated path of the ball. Hence I believe that 50-50 decisions should be given in umpire's favour where you are valuing his experience more than tech data.

How about a 50-50 where the tracking shows the ball passing a hair breadth's away from the stumps, and the umpire gave it Out?

Bit weird to have the near fortnight break now but hopefully it will allow a few to re energise

we know one certainty , Bashir won’t be involved anymore this summer

What’s your opinion on Reddy?

Don't know what style of a player he is, these days. He seems to be generally more of a stroke player, as we saw down under in Australia in conditions where that approach is more conducive, as well as the IPL. He isn't the most technically gifted, but when the guy you're replacing is Shardul "I bowl pies" Thakur, you could do worse. At least he does provide that 5th seamer option and built a bit of a partnership with Jadeja in both innings (ignoring the pathetic communication between the two). But his line/length needs work, because without that, he's just another club level trundler.

I don't know that Bashir will be missed, to be honest.

I kinda like him, actually. Pretty nice dude, and it's uplifting and inspiring to see someone get picked for so many test matches without going through the traditional guardrails of posh private schools and a rigid county structure. But somewhere it comes back to bite. He's bowled okay, but nothing too threatening. Kind of a poor man's Sundar. I'd probably pick Bethell.

On a separate note, it's interesting to see a test specialist spinner in this day and age.

Forget Bashir and pick another seamer. No English spinner is going to pose India a serious challenge in these conditions but a full-on seam attack probably will.

Not so sure about DC Sundar being a ''poor man''

He wasn't expected to do great here yet he got 4-22 yesterday.
In India he's lethal and probably one of the first players picked in the team which is something you could never say about Bashir.
Strongly agree that it's almost Bethell's time. He should come in for Crawley but that's not happening.

I’ve got a feeling it will be Dawson to come in. They reintroduced him back into the fifty over team, I think he will come in for Bash

he’s a handy bat as well

So possibly up to three changes for England

what do people think India will do for the next match ?

Not much. Maybe Sai Sudharsan will come back for the last 2 matches. Might as well groom a youngster with whatever limited time remains of this tour, especially since his Surrey experience could be helpful for the last test in South London.

Otherwise, I can't see a lot changing, barring any fitness issues for one of the bowlers or the top order. They'll be hoping Pant recovers quickly, because Jurel behind the stumps looked like the type of kid in school who was afraid of being called on in class.

Ultimately, he's not been good enough, but it's hard not to feel for Nair, he looked like a man who knew he was on his last chance last night, I assume Sai Sudharsan just slots in for him. If India just keep their heads, this series is very much there for the taking, Jaiswal and Gill will come in for some criticism after yesterday evening, but they've been two of India's best players this series, and again the bowling looked strong
