India were always going to have these types of pitches in their backyard.
Have no complaints

When we have had green top pitches with 20 plus wickets dropping in a day, we're happy take advantage.
The number if tests that haven't even last 3 days here has also been a joke.

It happens. Lets just get on with it

Green tops remain the same though. The last pitch was what you expect - flat for 3 days, and then really broke up. This is a joke

Think it's fair to see this series is going to end up being whoever wins the toss wins the game

Foakes and Pope 200 partnership inbound

Yep England can't complain when they produce green tops at home against Asian sides and then ask them to survive Broad, Anderson and Woakes.

Battle so hard against spin and then get one ball going down leg side from a paceman and gets out

Oh dear... doesn't look good does it... possible follow on here

6 down

I doubt India will enforce the follow on unless they bowl England out for less than 100

No...bung another 150/200 runs on

Hopefully our spinners can do well

Yep, whilst unlikely, if India had to chase 100 to win after enforcing the flow on it would be interesting.

India would win either way but they'll bat again and pile quick runs on

Thats what i said. If you have home advantage, make the most of it. We do.
India just went and beat Australia on pitches prepared for their quickies.
You go into the lions den and show your worth. Dont moan about it

So....projected score here for us...do we clear the follow on target...?

About right. Maybe 180 if we get lucky

180 would be way past lucky

We live in hope

One of these two would have to make a 50

Ashwin on now. We'll see how this plays out

All a bit predictable.

Was flicking through this morning, then just went live after Root got out. Sounds like a minefield. Their quality of spinner is much higher than ours.

This is close

Ooooh. That was close
