This is what I’d do. Fast bowlers largely pointless. Stokes + one other.
1. Burns
2. Sibley
3. Crawley
4. Root
5. Stokes
6. Pope
7. Bairstow
8. Foakes
9. Bess
10. Leach
11. Any one of Archer / Anderson / Broad
Might even get to 200 with that batting

Yeah. I've re-thought that. If India got a head of steam there is no way he could bowl as much as might be needed at a consistent level.

How can he give that!!?? It’s barely tickled the pad so it would have bowled him if it was on the stumps.

Another very marginal umpires call goes in favour of India.
When I saw where that flicked the pad and went over I couldn’t believe ball tracking said that was hitting the stumps.

That’s where you have to wonder about the accuracy of DRS. That ball will not really have deviated, not noticeably, so if the ball in reality has comfortably cleared the stumps hows DRS got it clipping!? It’s another poor decision.

Will be lucky to make 200, another very short Test loss looms...

This one looks a half decent pitch though, so really have only ourselves to blame being 4 down.
Wouldn’t be surprised if India bat long on this.

The match might limp on just in to Day 4, can only see one result though.

Stokes goes. That is about us done. As I said 200 will be about enough, India will do us Day 3

I’d bet good money Swann wants to roundhouse a few of these commentators he has to work with, poor guy.
Don't think he'll be invited back, insufficiently one-eyed.

A different kind of pasty
How's your luck. Inside edge, through your legs, off the back of your pad and spoons up in the air for a simple catch 
Pope gone. 167/6

I tend to feel for the Indian commentators who have to put up with Swann!

It must be said our batting is pathetic.
Sun rises in the east, titanic sinks, Brighton can’t score etc
