"Clearly expecting more of the lavish turn that saw them blown away on their previous visit in 2021, the tourists have picked all three of their specialist slow bowlers in Hyderabad and will also utilise Joe Root's off-breaks as an additional option.

With captain Ben Stokes unable to bowl after knee surgery, they have settled on Mark Wood as the solitary pace bowler, meaning record wicket-taker James Anderson sits out."

So far, Bazball is working beautifully in India. Not.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

All out 246. Jadeja and Ashwin 3 wickets, Patel and Bumrah 2. Stokes made 70.

Expect India to make up to 9,000, now, on a specially-prepared wicket. Mind you, they might prefer to make 45, follow on and set England a 700 target on a pitch making the ball turn square and jump.

Bumrah moved the ball that bowled Stokes from a line outside leg stump to take off stump. Stokes looked at the wicket, raised his hands, as if to say "What can you do", shook his head a few times and then left.
