    How can Rana be classified as a like for like concussion substitution for Dube? Additionally, if Dube was concussed when hit on the helmet, why was he allowed to carry on batting? However, there is no excuse for how England are batting when getting into a strong position.

    How on earth can a bowler come on for a batter in a like-for-like concussion substitute? That’s not right at all. Maybe Archer has a bad head and England can wheel out another batter.

    Jacob Bethell, back in the team and back at the crease for England.

    He nudges his first delivery off his hip for a single.

    Some unhappy faces in the England dug-out - Shivam Dube was in the India side primarily as a batter, while Harshit Rana is much more of a bowler - he's scored all of two runs in 25 internationals.

    You might say that's not like for like.
