Keep Bumrah quiet…….

That's like saying “Now if I sit down and have a quiet, reasonable talk with this tiger I can talk him out of eating me…”

I’d say that was England’s day.

The old stupid night watchman tactic used yet again. The most stupid tactic in sport. Just means Stokes will have one less person who can hold a bat to work with some time tomorrow.

Not sure Rehan qualifies as a nightwatchman considering how he played.

Not sure if you're being ironic, but I suppose not. It actually was England's day. To bowl India out for within a couple of runs of your first innings total is, by any metric, something of a triumph when it's on their turf. The damage, I fear, was done with India's first innings, and specifically by Jaiswal. There's no legislating for an innings like that.
I don't think England will do this, but there have been enough good things for them to reset and go into the third test in a decent frame of mind. With the series all square.

Not currently looking that stupid

Doesn't look like Rehan plans on sticking around long.
