Sound about right. That will virtually take them to tea though. They might need longer than that. It will be a difficult decision. Needs a lightning 50 from Flintoff but not sure how lilely that is seeing is I can hardly ever remember him doing that.

Longer with this over rate.
Can't see England declaring before tea. Hope they kick on a bit in the next session.

Surely setting 400+ is more than enough? I thought I read somewhere that the highest chase in India in the 4th innings was 230 odd.

Now back to a real Test match. Jerome Taylor 100 trumps both Strauss 100s.

Can't watch this, why is Strauss's innings so good?
Eidt: forgot about the first innings hundred. Congrats to him!

No, I agree, which is why I'm not sure they'll leave themselves enough time to win, especially if the Indian top 5 bat like we know they can.
(which in itself is a bit of a contradictoary statement!)

When teams win, they invariably seem to do so by big margins. This ground doesn't seem to produce close results (when there is one).

This one?
Test no. 1442
Pakistan in India Test Series - 1st Test
India v Pakistan 1998/99 season
Played at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk, Chennai, on 28,29,30,31 January 1999 (5-day match)
Result Pakistan won by 12 runs
It's definitely a ground more inclined towards results though. Even in the small amount of tests it has hosted.

Fact: India have only ever had 13 innings defeats in the history of test matches played in India.

Yeah, whilst it still has to be done and no means a certainty, it is certainly possible for India to bat 3-4 sessions to save the game.
