All good points. Personally I’d persist with Crawley in the side, but Duckett …

Oh yeah not looking to drop Crawley it's just I don't fully trust him yet because when it matters he hasn't delivered

Crawley and Duckett are two of the last players to be dropped. They are one of the better test opening partnerships around right now.

I was only basing my questioning of Duckett on what I’ve seen and his scores in this series. You likely know him as a player much better than me bud.

His knock in the last game was one of the best hundreds I’ve seen from an English player away from home.

Given his age, I think Bairstow is the one most under threat to lose his place.

Harry Brook has to play when available.

Just got up to find that they’ve gone from 84-0 to 100-3. There’s still life in this test but can’t help thinking we could’ve done with a lead of just another 30-40 runs

The middle order is more of a problem than those 2

When they come back out get 2 quick wickets for 10 runs you never know

 

[waspish]

Nice start another 1 now be interesting

 

[Dr Jacoby]

2 in 2!

 

[balotellishaircut]

Miles out (only 2 runs not 10 lol)

 

[waspish]

Yes get in! still India favourites here we just got to keep taking wickets not let them get any partnerships

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Hartley needs to improve his length. It’s either too full or short at the moment.

 

[jimharri]

It's the hope that kills, innit? India will probably still limp over the line. Oh, for an extra 100 runs of a lead.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

India cruising now

 

[BringBackSwales]

I’m gonna stop watching, see if it brings a wicket

We need a hat trick from somebody. Which ain't gonna happen.

 

[waspish]

Over this good fight back from England just think India put the pressure on and played to good on the 3rd day.. we found two good spinners here though that's a major plus..

 

[BringBackSwales]

This is how you bat, Jonny, Ollie etc

Congratulations India, the better side. Might be an old-fashioned view, but preparing for a tour of India by going to Abu Dhabi and then returning there mid-tour is perhaps not conducive to a stick-about mentality.
