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.

Yes I know india are batting terribly, just they have a high ceiling so they aren’t out the game yet considering the pitch.

Take a look at the odds, India are definitely in the game still . I feel like england need a 130+ lead to be considered big favourites. Wicket now, India are right in the game..

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

The problem is with the serious technical deficiencies amidst our ranks. English bowlers have proved far more skillful at extracting any movement on offer, so that I assume will still be the case when they bowl with the new ball. Unrealistic to expect a badly malfunctioning batting lineup to come good under immense pressure.

Both teams are struggling with the bat though. England could easily collapse in 4th innings, you need to keep that in mind too. Can’t possibly be game, the lead is hardly anything and 2 wickets left

Feels that England's batsmen are gifting the wickets (Pope, Moeen, Hameed, Burns) whereas India just aren't good enough. The former feels like it can be resolved on the right day, the latter is more long-term.

Regardless of anything the lead is just 65 right now and down to one wicket after that stupid shot.

Now stupid Anderson reverse sweeping with a batsman at the other end in Woakes looking good ….

Even before Pope went, there way no way India were out of this game. As it is, the lead will only increase from 67 until someone bowls a straight one at Anderson and then it's all to play for. Anyone thinking that England can easily chase down anything above 150 hasn't been watching.
