Is this match being streamed on YouTube? I remember 1st test was streamed on the SLC channel but couldn't find any streams on their channel now

So it's Root or bust in the subcontinent for England. Maybe Stokes will give him some much needed support in India but not really sure how good he is against spin.

it's only their second game on tour, they have time to improve. pope and stokes should stiffen the middle order.

Why isn't Pope playing this series? He doesn't have a heavy workload and as a youngster could've really used some game time in the subcontinent

It's not only that Pope couldn't play Shah, it's that he looked like an absolute idiot. If he plays the same way in India I'd expect that the first one or two instances of the ball skidding on straight will do him in every time.

I unofficially suggested to Dan that he should bet on Embu for most wickets this innings, and before England had even started batting he was ranting to me about how I was wrong.

Note to self: never give Dan tips again.

Look after Leach and Bess did precisely nothing I assumed that #GalleNoSpinny because the two Somerset boys can do nothing wrong!

Shoulder injury hasn't healed fully. Means he can't field for long period.

He can bat though. Played in the inter squad game and got 50*

Dickwella is better at sledging than Paine.


Why Eng dropped Bairstow? They have only 3 players who can play spin (Root, Stokes & Bairstow).

Resting people for workloads for white ball cricket.

Nonsense basically. Wood and Bairstow miss the first two games.

Buttler misses the final 3 games. So Foakes will keep the second test. Bairstow could in theory be keeping in the third.
