I beginning to think I've overated them, they are next to useless.

Big error from Bell here. Impossible to give him not out!

Dhoni withdraws appeal!

Bloody hell been out for half an hour and all hell breaks loose.

Correct decision from Dhoni, Bell wasn't attempting the 4th run, he was going to tea. He should have stayed put but think India have done the right thing.

Yeah well done to him. Ironically it's the only thing he's got right in the series so far.

Bell was out. Only doubt is whether the umpire called over or not. If he didn't then he's out plain and simple.

Should've been out. Once again a team spit the dummy and the decision is changed. Quite amusing to see a couple of LBWs going against India though after they refused to allow the review sytsem.

Doubt if England would have reprieved an opposition batsman had one of them done something like this.

Just got an email about this from a friend in NZ reminding me of the Sidebottom/Elliot run out a few years back - we've been beneficiaries a couple of times in recent years now, Vettori sparing Collingwood a couple of years ago and now this, he feels it is undeserved!

Brilliant day today, think it was important for us to cash in here (which we should now do) as India could be a very different proposition if Zaheer and Sehwag are back for the final two tests.

Although it has seemingly become the norm for people to trash the opposition you are beating when it comes to sport nowadays I do think we really ought to appreciate what a good team we have at the moment rather than decry who we are playing against, I'm trying to make the most of it given the tripe we saw for so many years (and no doubt will again one day!), I really hope we can get that number 1 spot and the 2013 Test Championship isn't too far away - you'd imagine most of this side should still be around to have a crack at that.

Just got to hope Strauss leaves enough time to bowl India out now.

We'll be positive in the morning, it's the only way Prior, Bresnan, Broad & Swann know how to be. If we bat for 15/20 overs at a rate of 4/5 an over it'll be a lead of 460/470.

The two new balls are crucial, as will be hopefully some cloud cover (that would make it fair over the test). Similar to the first test, stay patient, hit your areas, it will happen. This is a special England team, always somebody willing to put their hand up. You look over the course of a series, everyone contributes at some point, after this game we'll be halfway through the series and there's been great contributions from Prior, Broad, Anderson, KP, Bell, Morgan, Trott. We have no reliance, just awesome.

Bad weather due Tuesday.

Some good hitting this morning from Broad and Bresnan, the former then picking up Dravid just before lunch to leave India 8-1.

Only another 470 runs to go lads...

Great to see the Wall gone!, Shame we dropped Mukund first ball!

Pleased to see Bres get some runs.

Broad has currently scored over a hundred runs, is in line for a 10 wicket haul and has taken a hat trick, possible motm?

Depends, if it's a batsman making the choices it'll probably go to Bell despite his stupidity.

Shame Bresnan couldn't get his hundred - that'll probably be enough to get him dropped when Tremlett comes back.

Laxman gone

Will they make it to tea?

Could (but probably wont) play both if Trott doesnt recover in time.

Bresnan's 2nd innings wickets should keep him in the side.

Stunning stuff from England today, Tim Bresnan is slowly but surely replacing Anthony McGrath as England's finest all-rounder of modern times.

India looked totally demoralised at times, getting such a thrashing after their first innings lead must be one hell of a blow.

Utterley brilliant performance from England, completely dominant.

Great performance from England, again!

Good to see the depth in the seamers with 6 or 7 top quality bowlers to pick from.

Only problem I could see is a lack of depth amongst the batsmen if there was an injury. Who would be the next choice as I'm not a big follower of county cricket?

theres Bopara but personally if it was upto me the next in line would be young James Taylor at Leicstesher the lad looks class. I do agree though there arent many stand out batters wheresas the bowlers just seems too be a long que

Bopara was very unlucky to miss out to Morgan at the stat of the Sri Lanka series, having worked hard with Essex in the first six weeks of the season. He also offers a back-up seam bowling option. He's had a bit of an up and down season with three first class tons and two fifties, but a lot of single figure sscores in his other innings. I think I'd pick him at five, behind Bell & KP and ahead of Morgan.

Taylor is a terrific prospect and should cme into consideration. The only other option I can think of is Samit Patel, who also bowls left arm spin. I don't think anyone else will come into the equasion.

It was hinted on BBC Sports round up that Tremlett might return as a fifth bowler, but I can't see that when we're 2-0 up. I think we'll look to continue with the same formula and a new batsman in the middle order.

I wouldn't rush Tremlett back anyway. He's one of those players who needs a run of games to produce his best; he always looks rusty after a break.

i agree i wouldnt be fussed with ether of Bopara or Taylor coming in. Always been a big fan of Boparas think hes been unlucky Collingwood retired and i thought this will be Ravis turn but then up pops Morgan. As for the Tremlett situation i would stick with bresnan let Tremlett work hes way back with Surrey. Isnt it a good thing losing a star player and replacing him with another England are by far the best team in the world for me now
