    If we hadn't watched England display this passion for capitulation so often before, we'd have to question the morality of what goes on. Yet another dolly goes down in the slips, with the shitforbrains captain gawping effetely from mid-off. It would be easier to understand if he had money on the defeat.

    See Ed Smith is in the stands in suit and tie with temperatures pushing 80. Obviously a man of good judgement. Which is why he re-selected Jennings, Malan and keeps Cook, all who continue to fail. If he can pick Rasid, why not other white ball guys?

    definition of madness........keep doing the same thing & expecting a different result.

    get him out of the slips & put him where he can't do any damage.......like county cricket.

    Thinking Morgan Hales and Roy in that order. Given that Malan, Jennings and Cook in that order need P45.

    The atmosphere sounds brilliant. The noise every ball is incredible. Loving listening to TMS at work.

    Whatever you say about England's performance this test match has been brilliant to watch/follow. Its swung in our favour then theirs and back and forth again. It's been brilliant to watch with drama and some brilliant cricket!

    Whatever happens in this match, we know that India are really reliant on Kohli to get their runs. Their other batsmen just aren't the same even if they've all copied the Kohli beard...

    Kohli was out. Hawkeye didn't account for hitting his pad lower down then deflecting into his box.

    Adding to the Captain bashing. Taking off a streaky bowler in Broad was madness.

    Two very evenly matched sides, and one superstar who is the difference.

    Dawid Malan...he’s certainly made a major contribution to the result...
