India v England

Crawley, who looks class, and Root building a nice steady partnership but spinners already.

Balls. Root lbw. Was going to say spinners already getting turn and bounce and Ashwin turned that one a long way.

I'll now shut up!
 
Just seen the England team - 3 main seamers, 1 specialist spinner. India have 2 spinners in the first session, we may have got that wrong?
 
Good innings from Crawley , mind you plays for the best county in the country , so well done to him . Root was a waste of a review , clearly out , and maybe that review may come back to haunt him . Couple more wickets and into the tail .
 
Too many batsmen getting pinned back on the stumps and then missing it. Get FORWARD ffs.
Dont think it's quite that simple.
I always remember, when I played, my mates all wanted to be heading out to the crease when the other side had their slow bowlers on. Occasionally, one of them would be decent and make a few look very silly. A quick bowler can be very intimidating. A good spin bowler might not get your nipper twitching, he can still skittle you.
 
Although not making difference to the outcomes 3rd Umpire doesn’t seem to be following protocol which is winding up our players.
 
India 145 all out, either none of the Indian or English batsmen can play spin at all or the pitch isn't fit for a test match...
