It's still 1-1 bro. And could have been 2-1.
But this Test is 100% over. England will get a c. 100 lead and run through India - that much is borderline predetermined given how excellent Jimmy, Robinson and Woakes are and how awful India's middle and lower order are.

Why can't England give Lawrence another go, this Pope guy shouldn't play anymore

All momentum with England now. Credit to them for not letting wickets slow their scoring.
This is it - some fight from England and also making the most of things when conditions are good. Pujara and Rahane would make 30 runs in 15 overs in ideal conditions whereas England made 80-odd.

100 deficit is as much optimism as you will get from me - just as much chance England will go to 400+.

100%? There's a lot of money to be made if you're that sure.

Pitch-wise, they worked out the importance of preparing a flat pitch. Because India's ability to get themselves into a mess on a flat pitch is far more than England's.

completely flat, India could get anything in reply if their batting clicks. Still a serious game on.

Massive disagree. They just find a way to edge anything that moves. Just incapable against any decent seam bowling. People will come in and say England had good bowling conditions but it is just incompetent batting from a team that don't know where is their off stump or how to score at more than one run per million years.

Whatever it takes!!!
Lord gets Pope.


Of course, Pope could have been out like this about half a dozen times this innings. Its so interesting how the inside edge seems to favor whoever is ahead in the game. Root got away with plenty in the first 3 tests too. Virat in 2018 was the same. Steve Smith a lot of the times.
