Shocking decision to give Ballance out, but Bell did get the benefit of a terrible decision before he had scored a run, evens itself up i guess. Bring back Dickie Bird!!!

The only thing to be said about the umpiring in this series so far, is that the terrible decisions and there's been a lot, have been evenly shared out...meaning no bias. Ballance missed the ball by a bat's width!

Poor decisions again from the umpires this morning, saved India from embarrassment!

Looking a poor call to drop Stokes, bowling wise at least. Woakes innocuous (always has been) and Jordan utter garbage.

So, why are India allowed to dip out of DRS?
If its in their own country, fair enough, but when they play here it should be under our own rules.
What's their problem with it?

I'm glad we haven't got to bat last on this, if we had a proper spinner we could declare now. Gary Ballance, must have received the 2 worst ever umpiring decisions in Test history, given out caught both times when a bat's width away from the ball.

You can now see why India don't want DRS, especially with the ICC, you might as well call them the Indian Cricket Council, not having the balls to tell them that they've got to accept it. The bad decisions have gone in India's favour with the top England batsmen being sawn off in the test series so far, with just Murali Vijay in the first test for India. Don't forget that Rahane was given not out yesterday when he edged the ball to Buttler, and Ballance has been given out twice despite being nowhere near the ball.

Decisions have been bad both ways- Bell was stone dead lbw on 0 and went on to get 160 and Buttler was caught at first on 0. Those two cost India 250 runs, about the same as the first innings lead.

The Indians are correct in that the technology isn't foolproof so why should we rely on it. The way it's treated as gospel does worry me but the excitement of the review process makes up for it I reckon.

It's not about being foolproof, it's about being better than the alternative. The "uncertainty" is why you have Umpire's Call - it's there to remove the howler. Like say, Bell being stone dead lbw on 0 and going on to make 160. No sympathy for the Indians as they don't want it, but there you go.

Going to be interesting to see if England can remember how to win a game of cricket. As it stands I wouldn't be surprised to see India bat out for a draw. Well that's a help
