    I'd say he is one of the Root causes.

    You never know what impact the batting woes are having on other decision making and the additional pressure for those players to contribute elsewhere.

    I can't fault the bowlers at all. They've bowled really well and we could easily have another 3 wickets down. Root drops a catch you should take. Sibley dropped an easy chance yesterday. Lawrence has a brain fade and throws at the stumps missing when he could have thrown to Buttler.

    It may be coincidence of course.

    At least there is no Ashwin. Bit concerned Jadeja will get a streaky quickfire score if he starts slogging.

    Their last 3 are proper rabbits but Jadeja is very dangerous so plenty of work left to do.

    I think India will always give us a chance in our own conditions. If the lead gets much beyond 50, I think we've got to bat way above what we've shown first innings.

    Still in with a chance thanks to our fantastic bowlers.
