By Paul Newman Follow @@Paul_NewmanDM It may be a little cruel to suggest the green look on Friday to the Ageas Bowl pitch for the third Test will suit India more than England’s bowlers but there is no question it is not just Alastair Cook under severe pressure on Sunday. The failure of England’s attack to take advantage of conditions made for them at Lord’s means there are question marks over the senior bowlers going into a match where the consequences of another defeat would not bear thinking about. The success of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and then, with short-pitched bowling that had failed England, Ishant Sharma was a salutary lesson to an England attack who should have had the Test won on the first morning after Cook won the toss.

Anderson
Neither @placeholder nor Broad are coming to the end of the line but, with three back-to-back Tests still to come, the time is surely right to freshen up the attack and allow Chris Jordan and Chris Woakes a chance to prove their worth.
Broad
@placeholder simply did not look fit at Lord’s, where he had perhaps his worst Test for England for many a year, and clearly the knee injury that has restricted his potency will need an operation sooner rather than later.

Ticket sales have been sluggish with the ground expected to be no more than half full from Monday onwards but one man who just might provide the spark that could put more bottoms on @placeholder seats is debutant Jos Buttler.

‘Test cricket has been my ultimate goal and this has probably come a bit sooner than I expected,’ said @placeholder on Friday.

‘Mentally I’ve come round to the fact I was closer than I thought at the time because my cricket has progressed quickly,’ said the softly-spoken @placeholder.
