Surprised to see mid on back for Moeen, it's a bit more understandable to Root though.

The thing is Fact-taker, Duckett like most of the England selections are mind boggling.He was an opener then shafted to 4.. They didn't bother with Hameed even though they picked him to be an opener..
The England selectors should have realised Ballance wasn't upto it.(like everyone else)..And played Hameed and Duckett in Bangladesh.. Duckett should have known his role..

Too many players in this England side letting the others down right now.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Buttler in the next test match though

No Blunder I hope not. Buttler as had no cricket at all.
That would be another mistake..England would have to jiggle with the order again to get him in.

Englandwhoelse.. England selectors are trying to compete with our selectors.. At-least they didn't pick up any old hag like that fool Gamby!

Also Kohli having Cookie effect regarding Moeen! He does seem to have soft corner for him

Fk

End to a lucky innings from root.

Poor dismissal

Cos Kohli wants Root's wicket more than Moeen.. Bye bye Rooty..

anyone seen our world class batting line up about....appears to have gone missing

everyone take a good look around...it's here somewhere

Personally I don't he should be anywhere near the squad having played 1 first class match in a year since being dropped but knowing us he'd get picked.

Seeing Root's dismissal reminds me of KP lol 😂

Sheriff,

I think it's scoreboard pressure.. Just look at Root's dismissal.. I never expected that for sure from Rooty!

Is there a better all rounder than ashwin atm? Took India to over 400+ in 2 tests now, and both times where India were in a spot of bother

Viru. I will have more respect for Ashwin as a spinner when he does it away from home. He as something like 200 of his 230 odd wickets in India..

I see afridi is letting out his frustration of pakystan being battered this morning

England in a bit of a spin 5 down now

Another sight I have not seen for a long time, when have Indian pacers outpaced their counterparts? Shami and yadav both bowling 90m consistently

Here comes one of our famous collapses

Viru,

I regard Ashwin as a very good player and he definitely got huge talent but I will wait and see how he performs overseas in future!

England trying to compete with Pak

Yeah I think everyone would. The issue here is you can expect ashwin to pick 5fers in away conditions regularly. That expectation in itself is flawed.

Cannot

Debutant Yadav says hello to DRS

whats flawed is his record.. Its very misleading..
Anyway I knew this was going to happen.
