England have arrived in India, albeit missing two members of their original squad, and started assessing conditions ahead of the first Test - which could see them adopt a three-spinner strategy in Hyderabad. In this week's pod, Alan Gardner was joined by Andrew Miller and Vithushan Ehantharajah to cover all the news from a busy start to England's tour. Harry Brook has flown home, Virat Kohli is also missing for personal reasons, and Shoaib Bashir is stuck in Indian visa limbo.
