Swing and a miss

You can get angry but the obvious way India was taking time out of the game when england were on top is undeniable. I notice you brushed off the running on the wicket alsoLiterally more than half the overs have been bowled by pacers you absolute dunderhead.
Yep this pitch is going to break up soon and it'll make that third innings really tricky.I know it goes against the philosophy of Bazball, but England really just need to bat some time here. A sensible Root innings would be perfect. Make India bat on Day 4 when it's likely to offer loads more.
Unlike England. Well known for their fast over rate. Jog on you idiot.You can get angry but the obvious way India was taking time out of the game when england were on top is undeniable. I notice you brushed off the running on the wicket also
If we bat two sessions tomorrow we would probably have a decent lead.I was thinking of that match too, although I couldn't have told you that England made exactly the first innings score as India here. I think we need to bat for the whole of Day 3, as I wouldn't want to be chasing many on Day 5.
Yeah, didn't know that till I looked it up. I was there on Day 2 when Crawley made it look easy. Then Jayasuriya made it look significantly easier still.I was thinking of that match too, although I couldn't have told you that England made exactly the first innings score as India here.

England are just slow by nature. India are slow based on the game situation. Also whats your point? England being slow hardly negates my postUnlike England. Well known for their fast over rate. Jog on you idiot.
Damn there's a Crawley involved too. SpookyI'm getting similar vibes to this Test- hope it plays out the same.
One team scores 445 with 2 centurions, then a left handed opener smashes it around and they get a lead of 150.
This is a horrific England side though, the attempt to hang on in the 3rd innings was horrendous.

Yeah a hundred from Root tomorrow could be series defining. Long way to go but still, big opportunity.If we can keep the 3rd wicket intact for the bulk of the first session then I'd expect a big lead this time tomorrow
Big if ofc
I remember that game. Was so impressed by Crawley and then Jayasuria just made me want to forget lolDamn there's a Crawley involved too. Spooky
I would still be aggrieved by this declaration ftrEngland to declare tomorrow on 620-8 with 10 overs to go
Tom Hartley to snare 3 wickets by close
Innings win on Sunday morning
Yeah maybe, thinking about it. I was assuming a more traditional scoring rate, I suppose.If we bat two sessions tomorrow we would probably have a decent lead.
England arent even half way to India's total. The pattern of this series is that England look great for 20 overs then rapidly implode to reverse and Ashwin. I would give you even money on us reaching parity.Yeah maybe, thinking about it. I was assuming a more traditional scoring rate, I suppose.
But 60 overs at 5 an over puts us only 60 ahead. Perhaps if they manage that for the first session and a half and then go ballistic. And it depends what we mean by a decent lead. Being greedy, I'd want at least 100, preferably 150.
There is indeed a very long way to go at this stage.England arent even half way to India's total. The pattern of this series is that England look great for 20 overs then rapidly implode to reverse and Ashwin. I would give you even money on us reaching parity.
Bumrah hasn't looked quite right though here, struggling with cramp it seems. Tomorrow is the day for scoring runs, we will need a lead as it's only going to get harder.England arent even half way to India's total.
