i hope england bat till lunch as that will leave india with about 4 sessions max after taking into account of bad weather that is forecast.True, but I wouldn't want to end up setting India 400 in more than 5 sessions, they're capable of that. Need to take our time for at least half an hour or so to get past a 400 lead. Then we can throw caution to the wind.

Nor me, can't see Bresnan being a slowcoach if he passes 50. Maybe Prior could be as he is closer to a ton but it not a problem if one plays sensibly while other goes for it.Prior

None of that reads "circumspect" to me.
300 pitch at best.There is not a chance in hell that this is anything remotely close to a 400-in-a-day pitch, yeah.
yeah. I believe England should press for a lead of 500+ by the end of first session and then try and bowl India out in the remaining 5 sessionsTry and get a 500 lead by lunch and see what conditions are like overhead. Might not be a bad thing if we are bowled out early today as it may be a bowling day if that is the case.
I know it rains more here than India, but not as much as some Indians thinkHope we don't get wickets but restrict England to a slow RR, then bat for rain
