I'm actually getting so so angry now about our selection for this test. How pig headedly stupid do you have to be to go with 1 spinner away to India. I mean what the fk did they think was going to happen.

Broad & Anderson overs bowled in this test - under or over 20 between them do we think?
It's tough, the day/night test always seemed the best opportunity for our seamers, but the pitch looks like it's probably taken them back out of the equation.
Dom Bess seems like quite a cheery lad but he must be absolutely steaming mad at the moment.

Double low for England: not only do we not have Graeme Swann in the side, we have Graeme Swann in the commentary box. A double whammy.

Devastating start having won the toss this is. Unless the plans is runs on the board, get bowling at twilight to take advantage of the pink ball..... To be clear.....I was NOT suggesting this as a good tactic should anyone look to blame me.....

Clearly India haven't got the concept of Chief Executive's pitch!

That wasn't out but if Virat was the fielder they would have spent 5 minutes checking to make sure.

Yeah, I think it's not out but overturning a soft signal off one angle and two replays is... just not a good look. Spend some time on it ffs.

What Soulcircus said.....Wasn't out for me, but you'd have have multi-angle reviews, 3d printing etc etc going on if that was the other way round

And again - on field umpires getting it in the neck despite having been really pretty good, but the third umpire being more than a little erratic.

Umpires haven't got many wrong today, fair play to them, only the Broad one (amazingly) wrong that I can remember
