Hope Bumrah scores another 35 and Shardul another 50. No hope from others.

if pant comes in to bat after the ball is 30 overs old or so, he can put the game out of eng's reach in one session

 

[Apex Predator]

Shardul will be the key wicket here.. Rahane & Pant atm both can't add more than 10 runs.

this pitch, once the ball gets soft, it is not moving consistently to a troubling degree even for anderson on a cloudy day

predict pant to go big tomorrow

 

[White Ball]

Yeah wasted a couple of overs and gave away 7 runs or whatever but fine. We are basically 171/3... Need a big effort again tomorrow coz the pitch is flat as a pancake and even all the clouds that Jimmy could summon today did not seem to help much in this pitch. And we bowled worse than England this test so far.

Had Ashwin been there would have been happy with a 250 lead but without him we need 300-350 then scoreboard pressure will make us big favourites even if it’s a flat deck

 

[Anil]

Why the **** is Rahane playing then?

Because he is Kohli’s loyal lieutenant…

 

[Daemon]

We're favourites to win imo. 320 coming up and England bowled out for 180.

On our way to do even better.

Good stuff, very happy Poo has made us eat Poo.

This has seriously been an excellent test match. Tomorrow’s going to be epic and hopefully we’ll have a cracking final day too.

No political conspiracy in this thread

He is a troll, isn’t he? As soon as he gets on verge of being dropped, would play a quality knock; then switch back to mediocrity.

Rahane on the other hand has dispensed with even this formality..

Ping @poorlyagedthings

I meant tomorrow

 

[Teja.]

Rohit was ranked no.5 in the test batting rankings before this test. Wonder if he might gatecrash the Fab 4 once the rankings are updated.

 

[Bahnz]

warne grow up ****

still sledging the waughs from the comm box

He usually seems to have nice things to say about Mark. Are the two of them still friends? If so would be weird for Mark to see Shane slagging his brother off in the media constantly.

 

[Arachnodouche]

With due apologies to once-fat people who've outgrown their childhood insecurities, once-fat people rarely outgrow their childhood insecurities. He can get all the lipos, lifts, plugs, and hurleys in the world but he's always going to be a cunty fat ****.

 

[Flem274*]

Indias to lose. No way are all of Kohli/Rahane/Pant throwing away this platform on a slow deck.

 

[Anil]

if the lead is < 300, england will win 100%
if the lead is between 300 and 400, it's 50-50
if the lead is between 400 and 450, india 80 - england 20
if the lead > 450, india will win 100%

 

[Fuller Pilch]

if the lead is < 300, england will win 100%
if the lead is between 300 and 400, it's 50-50

Have you seen the England batting lineup?

 

[Anil]

Have you seen the England batting lineup?

have you seen india's? and for this test, we have the worse attack as well...

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

if the lead > 450, india will win 100%

Sure you're not missing a decimal point here?

 

[sunilz]

India needs around 110 overs to bowl out England. So they have around 45 overs to bat and score another 150 runs.

( Assuming no batting collapse and 40 overs lost due to weather)

 

[honestbharani]

Its a bit of a paradox though. If the weather does remain cloudy, maybe India wont need as many overs to bowl England out. But if the sun is out, then we may not have many overs lost to the weather.
