The current idea floating about in the media is Smith moving up to 3 and Pope taking the gloves at 7. Don't fix what aint broken, imo...

Siraj snags Smith... Bumrah gets Archer....
England going to be short of 400, but I reckon this score is competitive.

If Stokes is as injured as he looks, Pope miht be skipper in the next game
Wonder if Curran will come in.
By the way, Stokes had an extended physio during play yesterday. Surely the umpires should have told him to retire hurt.
I always say that everybody's right.

And the replacement India keeper might calm down a bit.

In these hot, sunny conditions, you need a fast bowler who can do a Bumrah.

If I am India right now, I am more concerned with batting out as many overs as possible rather than too concerned with runs.
Archer bowled quick and well, but didn't put in a long spell. Carse is tired badly the last test and was almost a non-factor in the 2nd innings. Stokes is carrying a groin niggle and was 50-50 to bowl last night. And Woakes looks badly out of form at the moment.
Once the England attack are past their second rotation, I can easily see this falling apart. If India can bat for 100-120-130 overs I reckon Joe Root and Harry Brook might be getting the ball a bit.

Wicket for Stokes. Bit of a bonus as I don't suppose he will bowl much.

Root now has a world record 211 catches.
That's excluding wicket keepers, right?

Yeah, not even close with keepers. Think Boucher went over 400
