***Official*** England in India 2016/17

India just have to tough it out for the rest of the day. I still feel that the pitch will play better tommorow morning after being rolled at the start.

Good example of why taking wickets can actually help you save the game. The more England put them under pressure, the more they have to take care to construct a proper lead rather than just downhill ski to a target.

I mean it's almost certainly too late to make much impact, but the idea that wickets = wining, runs = not losing persists and it's wrong.

Nope. We need a 350 target to be confident.. Rahane not contributing can be a huge problem.
Yeah, that would be about the point we can start feeling fairly comfortable.

Kohli though.. just looks like he's batting on a completely different pitch ATM.

Won't be a disaster if we get a few more anyway as we won't be anywhere near the target by this time tomorrow anyway so if it is a fact that the pitch is playing up in the afternoon then we will be batting on it then anyway and be done in. If we lasted that long of course.

Kohli's just so damn good. This will be the year people look back on where he finally pushed on to become great.

Interesting that Moeen seems to be an afterthought this test. Wonder if he has a niggle too that they are keeping quiet about.

WTF they don't show the cat-fight between Kohli and Anderson? God damn some entertainment in between overs and the ****ing broadcasters don't show it

This was a bad toss to lose for England, though it wasn't keeping that low when we were bowling.
They dropped a key catch and batted terribly last evening though even though the pitch wasn't really playing up much. If England lose this they should feel dissapointed because this pitch didn't play up to the pre-match hype about being a turner.
