Think we're short here but not by anywhere near are much as the commentary team who thought you'd need 280-300. India big favourites but it won't be easy to get them. Not a pitch where anyone has scored quickly and it's got demons in it now. Big innings for Bashir coming up.

There is a substantial class difference in what they have to face though. Pace and spin they have the better attack. Broad, Jimmy and Swann we’d win this.

We’ve played some poor shots. India have bowled exceptionally well and I think the pressure meant we played shots we shouldn’t have.

But let’s also be honest on these pitches where it is doing something our batting does struggle more than indias because they are more used to it and have better technique.

Think we are going to have to make a fair few changes for the next test as for me some of these have reached the end of any useful experiment. Certainly questions about the top 3 Pope and Crawley in particular and then Woakes, Carse and Bashir all are needing huge huge performances this innings because so far I’m not seeing them offering a lot.

Maybe, at their best. 1/2 in the batting, is great until you wrap 6 ducks into the innings. You're arguing against yourself.
