Archer (correctly) omitted from the second Test squad. The hype around him has been completely mental. Hes good, no doubt. But he doesn’t need to be shoehorned in.

Why they didn’t just let him play in this weeks county game for Sussex to get some more overs into him I don’t know.

Not shaping up as a thriller this one, but England do seem to manage to make a game out of the deadest pitches. This is certainly a challenge...

Gill looks like he's not letting the captaincy get to him. India probably already regretting not picking Kuldeep mind.

If we'd picked Archer I think he might already be injured!

This seems like a very good batting wicket (not to take anything away from India in general or Gill specifically) but England should be able to match anything India post. Do that and the game almost restarts. Knowing how good England are at chasing could get to the Indians in the second innings.

Then again England could post 300 and its game over.
