No Ashwin ton but at least we get the sword dance.

Anyone want to guess what the celebration will be like if he gets a ton some day?

Rashid to Jadeja, 1 run, and there it is. Worked to leg as Rashid pitches this short. And he does the sword dance with that strong left wrist of his. A smile on his face. Big big smile on his face. You can break your wrist if you try doing this with the traditional Rajputana sword
God, we're going to be subjected to this fascinating factoid every time Jadeja makes 50 in his career, aren't we.. :sleep:

Well played though, crucial innings. Keep going.

Rashid's short deliveries don't really get up that much, so gotta be careful when putting away those short ones.

You'd think India has enough now, barring Cook and Root getting tons. I know it's only day three and they'll quite rightly bat on, but this is already looking like a massive task.

Nah pitch is flat and England bat deep, also India's lower order is putting in more work which might affect their bowling a bit, having said that keeping England out there for as long as possible with as big a lead as possible would be ideal.

Yeah India comfortably in driving seat now. The lead is just too much now already and getting bigger even though pitch has not much to offer.

Fair enough, I haven't really seen the pitch itself, just following the scores. If the lead gets up over 100 towards 150 I can see it being really tough for England though
