lovely Jubbly

Mind you - Root and Stokes at the crease now, this could be painful for India. No change of getting any of these 2 early.

We will be 4 down by the time we overtake India..

Looking very likely..

Is Neo still with us? Getting worried for him...

The pitch is unacceptable. Remember Somerset getting in hot water when preparing a bunsen v Essex to try and force a result.

ICC need to come down hard on this. At least our green tops get better as the test goes on. Average innings score will be 100 here.

Nowhere near as bad as the last one, this is just a spinning pitch where the batters can’t play spin (or non spin).

Yeah - there's forcing a result, and then there's forcing the loss of 2 or even 3 whole days' play

Stokes already keeping light on his feet, but crikey, it's spitting

Stokes got a death wish here

Mate, you get turnips on here defending this pitch or comparing it to our pitches. But genuinely these pitches are an absolute disgrace.

£120m spend on a brilliant stadium, but not a pitch to match. Although to be fair there have been some very very ordinary shots played

This is why i would never rate Indian spinners when they get these tracks at home. Patel is bang average but this pitch is horrendous.

Hilarious when people think turning pitches from day 1 are the same as seaming pitches

Clueless

Because one suits your narrative and the other doesn't..

bit annoying that the only test that starts at a sensible (uk) time is likely to be a very short one

Explain how they’re the same then?

Problem with mentioning anything objective on here is that you get ultra defensive Indians getting offended at the obvious.

Stokes not gona hang around

Pitches in India are meant to turn. Don't see what the issue is to be honest
