That's just rubbish by Bairstow I'm afraid. He's an experienced Test player, his first shot was rubbish and then he get's bowled through the gate. *Block* for 10 mins and calm the crowd down a bit

He just needed to keep pad and pad together - it’s basic batting technique. He gets out that way far too often. It was nowt to do with the pitch - just crap play.

Absolutely agree @Jacko51. It's a dodgy pitch. England have just lost a wicket. He was nearly out the ball before. he just needed to use proper defensive technique.

The pitch is a joke though.

We had a 50 from Crawley which was probably due in part to him batting first on the pitch before it fell apart. Then we've had a 50 from Sharma, who is a class apart on Indian wickets - and the rest, containing some top players like Pujara, Kohli, Root, Stokes have really struggled to get double figures.

Hopeless again. Whoever is the batting coach needs firing. He's not related to Frank Sinclair, is he?

Money has spoilt another game 50 over and twenty twenty cricket the IPL is where the money is  the players have forgot how to play test match cricket how to build a innings . I grew up in the era of Len Hutton,Tom Graveney the great west indies team played against gary sobers what a privalage that was.Now i am watching international players trying to hit a ball out side off stump over cow corner what on earth is that about.

Be lucky to end up with a lead of 50 here. 100 might be challenging but anything less than that and it's curtains. All rests on Joe Root, yet again!

Need something different to open up our batting instead of Dumb and Dumber. Give Alex Hales a go, anyone!

When an Indian team with half a dozen batsmen with Test averages over 40 can’t get to 150, you have to look at the pitch. When a part time spinner like Rooty takes 5 for 8 you have to look at the pitch. This is not good for the game. 

The pitch is a joke but regardless, a lot of our dismissals in this test were through stupidity. Not every wicket taken was from a jaffa. Let's see how India do now but if they knock off the 49 they need for the lost of just 1 or 2 wickets without too much fuss then we need to start asking what the hell is going on with our batting against spin.
