Surprisingly Jimmy playing back to back tests, makes sense because for them series is on the line and they'd like to see 2-2 after 4th test match.

Why would that be a surprise for Anderson to play another match?

If he does get replaced then I am not sure who will be picked as he was selected based on him being a specialist.

Patidar can be replaced with Devdutt Paddikal.

As usual, Indians are too shy to announce their team and looking for good muhrat but Poms rolled a dice already.

Two changes as expected, Bairstow did nothing in 6 innings so swapping with Robison is expected and Basir look more in control while bowling while Rehan ahmed is throwing all over the pitch.

Robinson and Bairstow both are there, Robinson is replacement for Mark Wood, and on England's spinners tbh, I do not find either of them that good.

India doesn't need to announce the playing XI before the toss and if Eng do then it's their choice.

True, India usually announce playing XI on toss, and it's more reliable that way, avoids last minute changes.
