Oops. Great knock from Pant but I think he was biting a bit more than what he could chew there.

Draw still plausible but I can't see Vihari and Pujara (given what's below them) taking enough risks for India to win.

nah i reckon he'll just get a good nut/bat-pad one. partnerships like those can really obscure how hard batting is to start with on pitches like these.
I hope he puts up a fight but he's made some rash decisions in previous innings.

Even Pant going max aggression only saw them get around the RRR, rather than get over it. Surviving another 50 overs is gonna be difficult.

Pant deserved the 100 there. Terrible time to get out too, just before the 2nd new ball

Big innings needed from Vihari now.

not exactly a difficult prediction to make tbh. not at all a fan of how he batted post-lunch.
A lot of "that's the way he plays" type chat and yeah it was superb knock but he needed to rein it in a little. I wouldn't blame him much as assume he was following orders from management. Lets not forget he is a kid who was dropped not long ago.
