To be fair to Foakes, much better knock than the record books will show as a standard 34........

If we don't lose another wicket and add another 40 runs definitely a chance in the morning.
Regardless of the result, we will have some interesting decisions to make for the second test.
Three frontline spinners seems like overkill when there’s an argument Root is of a similar standard to all of them.
I’d expect Anderson to definitely play.

I've picked this up (copy & paste jobby so don't hold me on accuracy), to be fair whilst relatively economical (which he generally is), wasn't he found wanting last time in India unless my memory is playing tricks on me?Regardless of the result, we will have some interesting decisions to make for the second test.

It's now his 7th fucking tour in India - 7!!!!!!!
34 wickets in 13 Tests
With 34 wickets in 13 tests in Indian conditions, Anderson boasts a decent average of 29, making him a potent threat, especially with the new ball. Despite an uneven performance in the Ashes series, Anderson now aims to set a new record for the most wickets by an overseas pacer in India.
Across 3 test matches, he took 8 wickets at 15.87 with an economy of 1.92. You couldn’t really ask for more from a seamer in Indian conditions.I've picked this up (copy & paste jobby so don't hold me on accuracy), to be fair whilst relatively economical (which he generally is), wasn't he found wanting last time in India unless my memory is playing tricks on me?

The next Test is at Visakhapatnam, which tends to be a batting/spin friendly track (Ashwin has a good record there). England may need Anderson just to do the thankless task of blocking an end and stopping India scoring, something all their spinners currently appear incapable of doing. Any wickets for him are a bonus.Regardless of the result, we will have some interesting decisions to make for the second test.

Sure Jimbo would love the role as stock bowler

Far from ideal, granted, but he’s always been a team player and done the hard yards when asked.Sure Jimbo would love the role as stock bowler

Your right and it’s depressing that we’ve not got a spinner who can tie an end down, what’s the wheelie bin upto nowadays?

Well, I was wrong when I thought we wouldn’t get 300 in an innings.
2nd innings too! Another 100 here and we have a test match.
