GregP Nov 2016 9:47am, 28 Nov 2016 87,479 posts	0 GregP It was a choice of Root or Woakes to open according to TMS. I'd have gone for Woakes purely because having a talisman further down the order seemed saner than opening with the two guys India seem a bit scared of. That said...

Crash Hamster Nov 2016 10:42am, 28 Nov 2016 821 posts	0 Crash Hamster As the pitch deteriates ((c) Nasser) if we get 50 in front we can make it difficult for them. We've lost, haven't we?

Atonal Miserabilist (AFKA TRO) Nov 2016 10:52am, 28 Nov 2016 13,891 posts	0 Atonal Miserabilist (AFKA TRO) Innings defeat is 60 odd runs away, with 6 wickets left, 5 if hameed can't bat tomorrow. Root is at the crease so there must remain a sliver of hope that we can get the Indian openers to strap their pads on for 20 minutes or so.
GregP Nov 2016 10:54am, 28 Nov 2016 87,494 posts	0 GregP According to TMS c 07:30, if Hameed can't open he won't be batting at all.
