    India bowled out for 364, 370 ahead. They lost their last 6 wickets for 31!
    As long as Eng survive today they've got a good chance. Could be a fantastic last day

    Wonder how they'll play it.
    Obviously need to get a shift on, so either measured one day mode or full Bazball.
    Over 50 with no losses by close of day is a platform.
    Hopefully the weather won't intervene.

    No losses is good enough for me, especially Crawley as he can be a feast or famine batter, he owes us an innings now.

    just looked and was surprised to see the innings wrapped up that quickly. the indian first innings was similar - they lost 7 for 41 in that one.perhaps that bodes well for the rest of the series.

    england can easily score 350 more in a day, as long as they hang onto their wickets.

    this is the first time india have scored five centuries in a test.

    let's see...
    india scored 835 runs in all.
    the five centuries accounted for 637 of those runs.
    everything else came to 198.
    49 of those, about a quarter, were extras.
    that leaves 149 for the other17 innings
    149/17 is about 8 and three-quarters.
    just need to stop the hundreds then.

    One thing is for certain, this won't be a draw, England will go for it and either get it or get out trying, there is no fence sitting for this team
