Good bowling and catching from India today and more poor technique from England's batsmen. It's brain dead again from England.
Maybe time to give Ollie Pope of Surrey a go. Root is a bit of a strange 1 but always seems to get at leat 50 in at least 1 innings of a test but at present has a terrible conversion to 100 rate. Hopefully Root doesn’t do what Smith did next?We need a couple of quick wickets tomorrow.
The batting has been very poor for a while.
Smith for Aus and now Kholi are doing what Root should be doing scoring big hundreds.
I wonder if Root would be better without the captaincy?
2 changes to the squad for the next test - Ollie Pope is in for Malan, Woakes is in for Stokes.
Hopefully for not too long, for good reasons!One forced, obviously, as Stokes is in the dock…
