Wow - so it appears Leach has higher bounce than the Indian left arm spinners ??

If we can keep this going long enough they may have to abandon the match...the whole field is just falling apart..

Swann now advocating that coming down the pitch and missing it makes the ball bounce more. Seriously?

Has Leach actually spun one yet or is every ball an arm ball? If he has then I missed it.

That can’t be right, many England fans have pointed out this wicket is turning square. ?

That stumping had more going for it that that one angle I think. Would like to have seen stump cam.

His foot looked in the air at the time the wicket was broken...

Surprised Kohli didn't demand that was reviewed.

I thought that as well. Looked like his foot came down in the frames after it was paused.

It’s not a close call if it’s against the Indian Captain playing at home with home umpires
There is no doubt that if that was Root the examination would have been under a bit more scrutiny
England didn’t play well but that pitch is shocking and the umpiring hasn’t been much better
I’m still amazed how Leach managed to get that much extra bounce compared to the Axar

Watching the highlights ... Crawley and Foaks did show that batting was possible on the pitch..
Also realised that india did not bowl the third spinner - Washington..

I am split on this.. benefit of doubt situation. Use of stump cam would not help either, since you need to see where his foot was when the first stump lights come on. I am assuming stump cam on middle stump and we need to see where the foot was when the off stump was broken. If camera on middle stump, it will show he was in.. if camera on off stump then it would be more useful

If you get chance to watch it again, look at Rohit's shoe. It looks boxfresh when the stumps are broken, and the leather then creases heavily just afterward as pressure is placed between foot and ground.

i agree ... touch and go as we basing it on secondary evidence... the one I am disappointed was the Ben Stokes catch. Looked grassed from far, but I think the third ump jumped the gun, he should have shown the stump camera like they did for the Leach catch. Inconsistency is annoying. Why can’t they have a neutral 3rd umpire who is WFH from Srilanka or Aus?? Does he have to be in the stadium

The pitch is a farce ... switched on to see a bloke with a dustpan picking up debries
Any chance of getting India under 200... ignore Rohit (he is playing a different match).. focus on the others. Get Root to bowl
