    Me neither, you always worry England, when under pressure, has a habit of collapsing

    The way we're going it might well be 250+

    If we can get some quick early wickets then we have a fighting chance. If not, then I fear we will fall short and lose.

    I'm disappointed Bumrah doesn't do the trotty horse bowling run when he's between the wickets.

    Fantastically poised... all three results possible. It is a big total to chase, but pace bowlers are getting nothing out of the wicket. Jadeja could be tricky for lefthanders. Thank **** they didn't play Ashwin (not sure how many times I've said that this series).
    Another test which has shown all that is good about the five day version. What a series so far

    I wouldn't really call myself a cricket fan, but I was watching it as a chill out the other day, and I've found myself engrossed in this one.

    Test Cricket, a gift that keeps on giving. What a fascinating test, India is still favourite, but England still in with a chance. I just wonder if that run out Moeen missed, which cost a further 80-90 runs, might just be the moment which England might rue. It should be an interesting last day.

    Not when the headless chicken is 5 yards up the pitch already !

    Fragility coming to the fore yet again, the spine of this batting line up is none existent I'm afraid.
