    Ok, off for bad light and it's raining, new ball 4 overs away. Our batters must be very nervous!

    And the Indian Quickies will have had a nights rest when they were almost out on their feet bowling to Brooks and Root. Bethnell started the wobbly knees with a piss poor attempt at being a recognised batsman for the couple of overs he lasted.
    Still think we will do it in the morning. Couple of streaky fours in the first couple of overs and we are almost there.
    Great entertainment today, cricket at its best.
    But why are the English in the crowd so quiet? They actually add to the tension.

    That rain suited us best and was needed. A chance to reset. That last half hour was men v boys. We couldn't get anything off the square.

    Feel a bit sorry for Bethell, young lad, inexperienced at this level, gets called up for a series-deciding test?

    You're right though, great entertainment. I'd be happy to see a drawn series myself, neither side deserves to lose it.

    I think India might clean us up with the new ball.

    regardless of who wins, this series is just what test cricket needs, close well fought games which could go either way keeping spectators interested to the last day, keep it coming guys it's great to watch.
