Openers looked comfortable to be fair. Root has looked all at sea thus far

This is the first time Ollie Pope has ever batted inside the first ten overs of a first class match. In fact he had never batted before the 23rd over of the innings before today. #ENGvIND

 

[Jack Torrance]

Relying on the lower order to bail us out again

 

[Mainze]

Top order fail again.

That's some stat that is.

Pope looked decent but it’s promise only. Cook needs shooting with shit for the Jennings review

Not really Buttler’s fault given he’s been told to play aggressively but 24 from 22 wasn’t the innings we needed from a number 6 in the circumstances

England really have forgotten how to play test cricket. I know the weather forecast looks poor, but we don’t need to win. Patience ffs

Been that way for a while, still in a pretty good position but could do with these 2 batting for a while. India have bowled well mind

I reckon the Counties are mostly producing players for T20/50 overs. I know they don't want to do that but it seems that's what is happening and the result is few top order batsmen and a lot of middle order types. Still, it seems it's producing more spinners and more leggies so it's not all bad.

I have been as critical as anyone of our attitude to test cricket but the best approach for this match given the weather forecast was to blast 250+ and put them back in.

Maybe but not at 130-4

We also don’t need to win this match
