He was playing a shot but his leg got in the way.


I stand corrected 😂

Day/nighter plus a pink ball. Does this level the playing field? I would go with-

Sibley
Crawley
Root
Pope
Stokes
Bairstow
Foakes
Bess
Leach
Broad
Anderson

I think it definitely evens it up, especially if you compare that Bunsen burner in the last test.  If I use your team as a template-

We know how Root doesn't like to bat anywhere but 4 so I’d imagine Bairstow at 3 could be the way to go.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Wood plays. It’s then who for. Would you just go leach as the front line spinner with Root as back up? I’d be tempted to.

That leaves me with a seam attack of Wood Broad and Anderson with a bit of Stokes too. Of course if I’m wrong bout the pitch and conditions that attack may not be up to it.

I know what you are saying about Root, but I think Bairstow could be more destructive further down. Providing it isn't at 50-4!!!

Given the ages of Broad and Anderson they could bring Wood/Archer in for one of the spinners, using Root for back up (as you stated).

All will depend on the pitch. Hope it goes into the fifth day.

Don’t get me wrong I think Root should play where he is needed most but he doesn’t does he if the past is anything to go on.

I didn’t know Archer was available again. That’s good news. Could we see both Wood and Archer then?

Prodigious turn already for a spinner Graeme Swann says doesn’t get a lot of revs on the ball.
Worrying signs.

5 down already, it's not looking too promising.  Maybe Broad and Anderson can cause some problems under lights later today but we really needed a strong start after the last test.

India's spinners again look lethal.

Make that 6 down. This test is lost already, half way through day 1.

Let's hope we can have them all out for 120 as well. Whatever, this game won't see day 4!!!!
