There's runs for everyone in this pitch,I can see England pushing 500. I can see India scoring big aswell,which makes me think draw.
never know... its all about the new ball. england have taken the skin of the second new ball now... they survive say 10 overs they could bat all day tomorrow. then really its all about englands bowling attack for the new ball
Much, much better. Didn't now the score until the highlights, so I was very pleasantly surprised. Shame Cook didn't get his ton.
IF Bell could get a large score as well, that would really help to get some confidence in the team. I think it'll be a draw, but a much better performance would mean so much. Cue middle-order collapse...
I think perosnally the way the pitch degrades over 5 days is really the question. that and the fact the ball has still a good 10-15 overs of newness left in it and frankly we could be cursing a bad start for all we know. lets hope for a good first 10 overs from england and not jump to the last day draw already.
Bell would have been out yesterday LBW if there had been a review though. I prefer DRS, but some things have gone our way.
It's not just that one decision. As you say, so many wrong for both teams. Could say yeah it evens itself out, but not the point.
