No wickets down yet anyway.

Although he struggled desperately in the test matches on India's last visit to England, Kohli is obviously a class act, but I'm still not sure about the others on wickets that seam or swing and have some bounce for the quicker bowlers. India have bowlers who will do pretty well in such conditions though now and the two spinners who were outbowled by Swann and Panesar when England last visited them both seem to be much improved since then - India are probably the best test team in the world at the moment, but Anil Kumble's claim that they are the best team ever is pure pie in the sky.

It's also true that England have made India look good. Alien is right, the spin bowlers have not been good enough - they haven't come close to replacing Swann and may as well just go for who they consider to be the best young spinner around and give him a series or two to try to establish themselves. The two seam bowlers who have carried the English attack for years are becoming increasingly injury prone, while Wood, who would make such a difference to the attack, is plainly one of those players who is always going to struggle to get on the pitch.

Bayliss was appointed mainly because of what he could do for the one day teams and he's done well in that respect, but the test team has got worse under his watch. England usually bat with a one frame of mind in test matches, but when they try and graft, the stroke makers are shown to have inadequate techniques. Root apart, they have not had what I would call an established test match middle order batsman since Ian Bell was dropped, Hameed and, to a lesser degree, Jennings offer hope that the top order problems may have been solved, but we need to find a specialist number four or five now.

I think it's eight tests lost in 2016 for England. I know they've played a lot this year, but that's a poor record which contradicts the line you often hear on Sky that this is a very good group of players - they aren't, in test cricket at least, and they won't be until they show more of a test match attitude to batting.
