    Ahhhh. I stand corrected.

    Bumrah sounds like a villain from an 80s kids cartoon like he man or thunder cats - who has the appearance of a giant pair of buttocks

    Yep. We can say his name without singing something akin to a superhero cartoon type show of the 80s. Bumraaaaaaah bumrah!

    Appropriate that Bumrah plays with Pant...

    Not sure giving Pope the responsibility of batting at 4 was such a good idea - good player but maybe needs another couple of years to mature.Aged 20 batting at 4 for England doesnt sound right to me.

    How old was root when he got his cap and where did he start in the line up?

    Burns to me seemed a more obvious call up than Pope, maybe playing at 3 so that Root could bat at 4

    I agree regarding Pope, don’t think he should have this responsibility especially with our top order weak.

    Having said that they trusted Hameed to open.

    Bumrah has got the weirdest bowling action

    Jennings will be a good player one day. He's just not capitalised on his opportunity thus far. Going to be a strange time coming up for England. Cook looks like he's mentally checked out. Anderson is an injury away and even if he stays fit he's at the tail end of his career now, Broad has a couple of years.

    I liked the look of Curran and a fit Moran Ali coming back will be a boost.

    We need to find a couple of decent batsman soon, we are too reliant on our bowlers and late middle order getting us out of trouble.

    Surely Burns should be given a game soon

    England to lose this inside 4 days. India will post around 400 & we wont get past 300 on 1st innings.

    The scores won't be right, but the 1st innings deficit could be similar...

    England bowled out in a session.
  • How's stat?!

    Andrew Samson

    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    "Between 1938 and 2016 England were never bowled out in a session. It is the third time in last two years it has happened."
