JOYDEEP GILL: "There's nothing benefits for too much defensive that's why I think eng should be aiming for 400 then 200 will not be easy to chase on someone need Alistair cook 190 kinda innings " Alastair Cook and not defensive is a bit of a contradiction in terms, but yes, I get your point!

PSK: "India don't really need to play Siraj, a second fast bowler is a luxury which in a tighter game you might need a batsman " Yes, it's curious isn't it? I think each team picked each other's optimum balance.

HS: "Has to be one of the most unlucky dismissals in test cricket for Jadeja. Inconclusive evidence on ultraedge and umpire's call on impact as well as wickets. England couldn't have asked for anything more after burning all their reviews."

Suzz: "this is where India could really use a pace/swing bowling all-rounder. Bat till 10 and have a viable swing bowling option to partner bumrah with the new ball/old ball for reverse." England wouldn't mind one of those either! They might yet get theirs back of course...

England trail by 175 runs.
