50 for Jadeja
Smith's heavy workload
MA: Where will he be feeling it, then? In the legs, hamstrings, hips?
DK: All of that, and in the brain as well. He must be a bit tired, I would think.
MA: And the fingers, no doubt.
DK: The fingers have got a bit of a battering in this Test especially.
Reasons for optimism?

When will England turn to spin?
"A lot of the wickets have fallen from the Pavilion End. I’d try and book in one of the spinners – Root is ultimately the leading wicket-taker on the pitch at the moment – so I’d try and get Rooty in from one end and let the seamers go from the other in short, sharp spells. [Say to them] ‘Come and give me four overs of a huge amount of effort.'
"All Test match pitches, you can just rock in and float the ball up. You have to hit the surface, particularly if there’s dents, you’ve got the hit the pitch as hard as you can, maybe with a little wobble on it, and then get off and rest up. Four-over spells, and try to book the spinner in from one end."

Deep's free hit
Masala dosas all round?
"I don't know why Rooty [reacted]. I just said, 'you're looking in great shape' and then it turned into a lot of abuse and all of that.
"It does help me when I can get under the nerves of the batsman and get a reaction from them. But I love the guy that he is. He is a legend of the game and I think it is great when two people are out there wanting to do the best and be a winner at a given moment."
