13.5
Khan to Cook, no run, edged and put down at first slip I think, genuine edge, a pretty thick one too and Pujara low to his right boot has let it slip through his hands. Cook didn't get far enough forward and nicked a ball that just shaped away from him

Pace has dropped considerably. With good pace he could certainly trouble cook like before. Even in last year 1st test he managed to trouble all the top 3 before getting injured. Not getting enough support from fellow pacers also. Not enough motivation from anybody around too maybe. 34 is a declining age of FB's. Hope we at-least draw this test. WE NEED A MIRACLE.

Che is still standing @ first slip with his shin pads et al. Captain Fool

A couple of years ago, at an Indian Premier League match in Bangalore, Cheteswara Pujara was seen fielding in the deep with his shin pads on. That was then joked about and quickly forgotten because it was seen as a youngster’s way of saving time. What is good enough for Twenty20 is clearly not good enough for Test cricket, for the shin-clad Pujara at first slip might have dropped the catch of the match at Eden Gardens on Thursday (December 6). It is possible his shin pads made it difficult to get down for the low catch. Alastair Cook was on 17 then, and the catch came hard and low to Pujara, as catches sometimes tend to do in the slips.

After the retirement of Rahul Dravid and V V S Laxman India are yet to find settled fielders in that crucial position. Asked why Virender Sehwag was not at slip, Trevor Penney, India’s fielding coach, said, “Pujara has been practising at slip. He dropped a catch, such things happen.”

Also practising at slip where he stood briefly on the second day was R Ashwin, the offspinner. “Our plan,” said Penney, “is to field everybody everywhere.”
