2/3 overs are there before lunch and captain root goes with part timers  

Welcome him to csk...

It is spinning alright, India badly needs a lead of around 125 (at the very least) as we would be batting last.

[gattaca]

The way Ali is bowling no expectations from Rahane. Kohli and Pujara should play long.

[motomaverick]

Fun fact - Kohli averages 70 in fourth test of a series.

Did you forget what happened last time ? We gave wickets to Moeen Ali. India used to play spin well but its no longer true.

If tracks assists spinners..spinners will succeed but not on this Pitch

Dear Urmi ..

I am a gentleman and I don't wanna ridicule a lady for obvious reasons but Indians play spin best in the world and I am sure both their spinners will get a good stick from us..

 

Let her post her opinion

 

One should  usually worry about being right or diplomatically correct, if getting paid (professional consultant?). Her posts are more entertaining than plain Jane posts such as “pitch is good for batting so we will get xyz”

Why take risky singles for goodness sake Kohli!?? Just calm down.

Don’t run out Pujara. Don’t push him unnecessarily

Name the other openers better than him?

In Asia Azhar Ali and Karunaratne. Tamim Iqbal is in poor form, so excluding him. Not even talking about Elgar, Markram, Warner, Brathwaite, Latham etc. Just because Dhawan is better than other Indian openers presently, doesn't mean he is good...he can't even score a 50 outside Asia. 

[Sachinism]

Moeen is gonna cause havoc with the ball. Need a good first innings lead. Don't wanna be battling in the 2nd innings having to bat last

[PBN]

chintu, nice shot

What a shot. Sexayyy

[zen]

For the bowling side, wkts can come in pairs so we can easily be four down

 

Time for a duh comment: these two should score as many as possible. Pujara plays spin well and Kohli is in good form

What was his average in England last time around? 15 maybe.

What was Dhawans average in Emgland in all attempts? 

 

Below 20.

 

Azhar Ali is easily several levels abpve Dhawan in outside Asia. 

 

In turners, both will suck. 

 

Flat track in Adia, Dhawan is better. 

[SELVAM]

The way Moeen is bowling, I dont want India to bat in 4 innings. 

[motomaverick]

Moeen Ali is looking like he will get a wicket every ball. Did we miss a trick by not picking Jadeja?

[Swag]

Ali would be unplayable on the 4th/5th day judging by how much he is getting the ball to spin and bounce.

Kohli lucky there.....

Of course. 

 

 Pandya played a match winning role last game so couldn't drop him.

Assuming that in its 2nd inning Eng could get as many as Ind in its 1st. We could be chasing 250 in our last
