Look like a draw....unless we get some quick wickets. However, that is a good start to the series (if it finishes like that) as we traditionally don't do well in India.
As you say, a draw would be quite a good start when you consider India's home form at the moment.
" Since England's victory four years ago, India have won 12 of their 13 home Tests, with the 13th only drawn because of heavy rain." (BBC)
A draw would NOT be a good result for us. We have to win this test match from the position we're in.
We're unlikely to bowl the Indians out twice on this wicket.
Kohli and Pujara aside, their batting line up isn't that good. We can beat them.
Well, obviously I hope we can but to beat the world's no1 team at home would be phenomenal. Unfortunately, I'm not sure we are good enough.
India 195-1. England slowed them up for a while, but couldn't get the wickets they needed if this Test isn't to end in a draw.
277-2 India on the ropes ....................................
This was obviously a mistake on my part. What I should have said was "We're unlikely to bowl the Indians out once on this wicket".
