Indeed. From junior level upwards it's always best to have a left handed seamer to help unsettle the batsmen. All too predictable without. As I said before, it would have made more sense to move YJB up to 4 & drop Pope (harsh also, but more sensible than dropping Curran).

Did you watch Pope in the last test? He looks the real deal. Dropping him would have been just as much of a shocker as dropping Curran.

I agree. As I said it would have been harsh, but not as harsh as dropping Curran and would have made more sense (IMO).

Stokes just single - handedly called for and spunked a review. This match is just annoying me now.

Good morning for England just need our batsmen to dig in and occupy the crease and the runs will follow.perhaps slowly but time is not a problem for us only for India.

Tried to watch on a stream but not as good as the football streams so wasnt able,.might have to pay for Now TV tomorrow.

I wish I had you confidence as Cook edges the first ball

I think that both Cook and Jennings should aim to stay in as long as possible and not play silly shots and build an innings, hopefully each getting a 50+ score.

Whether that will happen is a different matter.

Cook hasn’t got out to a silly shot this series - he’s had three absolute peaches of deliveries that have got him
