Be interesting to see how much India want to win this. We know England will chase nearly any total. Do India want bowling time or a massive lead?

 

Three in four balls for Tongue, so India likely to be bowled out before they can think about declaring.

 

India hanging on atm after dominating most of the game

 

371 to win.

 

50 without loss tonight England win
40 for 2 draw
35 for three Indian Win

close

 

Cracking good game whoever wins....

 

Crawley and Root owe us a score this test

 

Set up for a great day tomorrow, England capable of scoring 350 runs, India with Bumrah on fire capable of taking 10 wickets, equally the weather able to spoil it all.

 

We need to sort out our attack for next test as this lot are not good enough

 

Archer, Wood and Robinson all to come back in at some point.

 

Need them

 

Couldn’t ask for much more from the morning session.

 

Crawley and Duckett making it look easy this morning.

 

Fine session for England 96/0..... 254 left to get.....

 

Wouldn't say it's been easy as they've faced 30 overs...180 balls and out of that 125 have been dot balls..... shown great restraint and played each ball on merit..... a very mature approach..... more of the same please after lunch.....

 

Covers going on.......

 

Covers coming off....

 

Only rain can save India

 

Off they go.....181/0..... 190 needed....
Bloody weather.....

 

I hope the weather doesn’t reduce this to a slog fest.

55 overs left. If we get to play them all it should be a serene afternoon
