It was painful watching Bess bowl today - he's young for a spinner and so can recover from this, but he's been found out to an extent this winter despite taking quite a few wickets. Although it would hardly have sent out a good signal, I reckon England would have been better off flying someone over to play if they insisted on having two frontline spinners.

That said, England are not going to lose this test just because of Dom Bess - like every other side in the world over close to a decade, they've found winning in India practically impossible and, in truth, they've done better than most by winning a test.
