England now declare at 260-3 on a pitch offering the bowlers very little. 49 overs remaining today 310 might be tempting for India if the England bowlers don't tie them down. Our spinners can't afford to be off colour today...
 
140-6 now, England running out of overs. Cook, despite scoring a bit quicker than he usually does may have cost us a win by staying in too long. Once we were over 200 ahead we could have thrown the bat and brought in, Stokes, Woakes, Moeen and Bairstow and could have reached a 320 lead much quicker as another 10 overs may have been the difference...
 
A 'winning' draw for England and a very good performance for all five days. Not bad, considering we were supposed to lose 5-0.
