Obviously England have not been great batting but we just can not create pressure, Moeen has not been good enough for a while and allegedly he was played in this test to have control compared to Bess, which says a lot about how they rate Bess.

 

On DRS, never playing a shot I thought the hiding the bat had been removed from the game. 

They could declare now and still win.

England playing only one spinner. I suppose that’s more a reflection on the paucity of choice than anything else.

I don’t think Bess is very good. But he averages 32 in test cricket, which is the same as Nathan Lyon who has 400 wickets.

Maybe they should give him a bit of a chance to settle in?

And India have gone with three....

 

Root should bowl himself more as he’s no worse than Bess or Leach .

 

Sibley showing again he’s out of his depth

Not sure why batsmen review LBW decisions unless it’s a pitch with a lot of bounce, it only has to be clipping the stumps to be out 

 

Anyway Root gone now although to be fair it was umpires call but Bairstow’s one was awful 

Yes, for the vast majority of them the original decision stays as it is.

 

I guess, some margin for error is probably a good thing. I do sometimes feel there is a little too much though.
