Bye's (not even leg byes) now account for more runs than 17 batsmen's innings. Before the 6th session of a test match...

Any chance of ICC docking points for a poor pitch is vanishing with the ease with which the Indian openers are going about it.. now it is a T20 game. Where the f did the turn disappear?

India were under no pressure, especially with 8 byes...
Meant they could cut loose with little risk.
Only 40 needed off the bat..even if they had lost a couple of wickets India were never going to lose it from where they were.

Apparently according to the insightful Indian commentary we are too reliant on Joe root and struggle if he doesn't get runs.
No one got any bloody runs.

Takeaways:
We didn't pick the right team. Three seamers and one spinner.
Their spinners are better than our(s). We lack control and give one freebie an over.
The pitch was woeful. If that was a county game, it would be reported and points off.
Very nice new stadium. No action for the next three days though.
Some of the English batsman can't play spin.
Third umpire not up to standard
Probably more of the same in the 4th test.

Cook said the same on the first day... If you disregard the 600 or so Root made in SL, then the rest of the team did not add up to much..
Commentary was atrocious.. Cant stand Gavaskar.. Harsha Bogle was very good. Swanne was a standout. i am not sure i have heard him before though.
IF they can have a foreign commentator to come in, then why cant they get a neutral third ump. He anyway will sit in a glass box and be self isolating.

Kohli desperate to protect the pitch being the issue
The batting wasn’t great but a match over in two days and down to spinners points to more than just poor batting
You could see how bad it was breaking up

If Kohli pops at the groundsman then said groundsman is unemployed with an X on his back within the hour.

Interesting question becomes what pitch do we get for the final test? Another sub standard, no top surface dustbowl like todays or a 700 a side road now that India are 2-1 up and would be happy for it to end that way. No doubt they will have both options available

That pitch was a shocker. It was even worse than the last one, which was bad enough.
You shouldn't be seeing so much turn and variable bounce on day two of a test match.
