    Think the selectors want to give Bethell a run however you make a good case for Ahmed.

    I mean he's a far better bowler and arguably a better batsman. I like Bethell but he has a long way to go to prove himself.. even though he's actually older than Ahmed.

    We don't need 20 wickets, just need to avoid a loss @dreamboy3000 to win the series!

    Dont forget Joseph "golden arm" Root!

    A lot hangs on whether Bumrah plays and what sort of pitch we are looking at.

    A proper English pitch and Woakes and Atkinson will rip through them. Another spinners road and we're in big trouble

    True. We could have played 11 top order batters and go for a draw.

    But after already losing a test, drawing a test and being punished for a slow overate we are already losing ground in the WTC.

    Won the toss and bowled on a green pitch under overcast skies.

    No Bumrah. Without him and Pant that India side looks much less imposing. A lot if weight on the shoulders of Rahul and Gill!

    Great review. Made even beter by Atherton mocking it for being a bad review before the replay

    Definitely moving it both ways!!

    That first over was an experience.. but since then he's bowled some really awkward stuff. Definitely a guy that takes time to get into his groove though!

    Look at the rain. It's grim down south.

    Catastrophic **** up from Gill there. Great work from Atkinson though.

    India in big trouble here. Where are the runs coming from?

    Surprise wicket there. Gill and Sudharsan for me are the best opening partnership in the IPL and their understanding of one another from playing together so many times has been evident in this test series. I don't know what he was thinking about there though.

    With the way the bowlers are spraying it all over the place, there’s a fair chance Extras will play well today… top scorer might end up being wides.

    Must be difficult to know what's coming next. 3 wides and a wicket from tongue.

    Although Tongue has been particularly wayward today. That kind of spray it around quick bowling is very effective on the hard decks down under. Just ask Johnson and Tate.. and to be fair Cummins in his early career
