Well it looks like the Indians will level the series and then England will be getting their re-cycled rested players back and have to field a really mixed up team for the 3rd Test.

The Third Test in Ahmedabad is a day/night job with a pink ball. At least I won’t have to get up in the middle of the night to watch it.

Was Roots bowling analysis of 2 wickets for Zero runs the best ever bowling in a Test?
He’s definitely getting closer to the record,5-8 off 6.2 overs this morning, his first 5 wicket haul in First Class Cricket ^:)^

The best all rounder in the team!

I still question the logic of sending an in form Bairstow back to UK, and then bringing him back to India and straight into a test match. Even if the coaching staff wanted to 'rotate' him, he should have stayed in India with the squad and been in the nets etc.

What odds can one get on this match ending as a draw?

I know that it is 'the same for both sides', but it is a disgrace for a Test Match wicket.
