India Test squad for SA: Virat Kohli (Captain), Rohit Sharma (vice-captain), KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Shreyas Iyer, Hanuma Vihari, Rishabh Pant (wk), Wriddhiman Saha (wk), R Ashwin, Jayant Yadav, Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed. Siraj.​

Standby players - Navdeep Saini, Saurabh Kumar, Deepak Chahar, Arzan Nagwaswalla

However, India have been hampered in the spin department heading into the series with their two first-choice left-arm spinners Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel getting ruled out due to injuries. As a result, o***pinner Jayant Yadav, who played in Mumbai against New Zealand recently, has managed to hold onto his spot as the second spinner behind R Ashwin.

Well done Head!

Well done Head!

Yep, confidence booster he needed - would love to see him nail down the number 5 spot in the test team for the next few years, has obvious talent just needs to stop having brain fade moments which it appears he is improving on.

Aust A all out 213 - Mitch Marsh was looking great until caught off the back of his bat at leg gully, very unlucky.

England Lions 3/13 at stumps - it appears the poms don't have much depth in the batting department

Lowest average for an opening batter in Ashes history (minimum 4 Tests):

8.71- Marcus Harris (AUS)

10.33 - Peter McAlister (AUS)

11.66 - Trevor Bailey (ENG)

12.77 - Adam Lyth (ENG)

16.12 - Chris Tavare (ENG)

Damning for Harris - I just don't think his technique stands up at test level. Would prefer Khawaja opening with Warner next test with Pucovski
unavailable at this stage.

When I saw his dismissal replayed this afternoon, I questioned whether that’s a technique that will hold up at this level.

Yep - its a real concern. Too early for Henry Hunt who looks a talent, Khawaja I think has the ability to bat anywhere in the top 6 so maybe the best option until Pucovski is fit.

In for a treat if this continues for the remainder of the Ashes.

No, Rory Burns is far worse. Basically the leg side equivalent of Green's leave.

Head's 💯 was the 3rd fastest (balls faced) in Ashes history

Steketee top scorer with 39

I just saw the “highlights” on replay, and I think Harris was on 3(4) when it started.

He dangled the bat outside off and missed the ball on deliveries 5, 8 and 14, before getting an edge off the 17th, and getting caught in the cordon.

Every one was an absolute nothing shot - one of those ones that will do nothing but get you out.
